Trying to find flat figures????

[Clarence1]

Hi folks,

I wanna try a new kind of figure. In french, we call it "plat d'étain" so I guess in english, it would be a flat figure??? Not sure about this one, sorry for my english.

Anyway, I'm trying to find good figures to buy. Dont know much about possible companies that produce these figures and which one are the best quality (since it's gonna be my first, I prefer something good over paying a cheap price)

So if you can give me a link or a name that would be appreciated.

Also if you have any comments about which figure would a good one for a beginner that wanna try that kind of figure, or which paint is preferable (oils or acryl.) that would help as well. I can use oils or acrylics, it doen't matter.

Thanks
