6th Anniversary of Benno’s Figures Forum

Today is the 6th anniversary of Benno’s Figures Forum. Set up six years ago to create a platform for collectors, painters and wargamers of miniatures, where people from all over the world can help each other, inspire each other and to have fun in this hobby.

I’d like to thank all of you for posting here and for making the forum what it is today.

International Small Scale Convention 2013 Heiden

Last Saturday we were with a group of the Benno's Figures Forum present at the International Small Scale Convention in Heiden, which is focused on 28mm miniatures and smaller. Although the number of visitors was a bit lower than last year it was still a great day to catch up with old friends and to meet some new faces. The grill dinner we had after the show was also delicious, thanks for the chat and jokes Jörg (joefie) and Jan (Jsobi)!

Welcome to our new moderator: armpcm

My name is Pedro Monteiro (armpcm). I have 37 springs on my belt and counting and live in Valongo, Portugal. I work as a data analyst/operational reporting in a telecommunications company.

Welcome to our new moderator: Kekso

My name is Dalibor Cavic (Kekso) and I live in Croatia. I'm a 37 years old chemical engineer who loves to drink beer, to cook and to paint 1/72 and 54mm scale figures. And I like to scratchbuld stuff for my projects too.



My favorite period is Napoleonic era but I'm into ancient Greece, Roman empire and medieval Japan. I started with this hobby two years ago when I was thinking what to do with my spare time. Then I remembered my teenager ages when I tried to paint ESCI Roman legion and Dragon British Desert rats in 1/35 scale. They remained unfinished but my love for small scale figures was reborn.

My greatest goal (as painter) is to make Battle of Borodino 1812 diorama in 1/72 scale with more than 500 figures. Yeah, not much for some of you but for me it will be a big... Read more »

The New Forum

After more than 500 hours of hard work, late nights, going through millions of lines of code, occasional swearing when something didn't work, having a sore back from sitting in front of the laptop all day, not being able to enjoy the nice sunny weather outside, it's finally finished: the new forum!



At first sight it might look like it's only a new graphical design but there's much more! Let me highlight some of the coolest new features:


Like button
A feature that will make life so much easier for many of us who sometimes don't feel like replying but still want to show they like it. In stead of going through the trouble of writing a reply you can now easily "like" it!
