Die Zinnlaube vol. 14

 Volume 14 of Die Zinnlaube arrived recently, now only published once a year, this is the 2024/25 issue, 112 pages (including the cover) printed in full colour throughout with text in German and English.

Articles include: 
Figures portraying Andreas Hofer and others made by Johann Hilpert
Czech Gymnasts Association flats made by Ernst Heinrichsen
British Life Guards and Prussian Hussars, solids from 1880 by Ammon of Furth
Figures from the Hungarian Uprising of 1848/49 by Sohlke
Characters from fairy tales (more early flats)
Sack of Louvain 1914, rare set from Ernst Heinrichsen
10cm composition figures 1914 from SFJB of Paris
The Death of Marshal Schwerin 1757 
Swedish Kings from Karl XV to Gustav VI
Tin figure exhibition at the German National Museum, Nuremeberg

German infantry battle Franc tireurs in Louvain 1914

The heavy coverage of tin flat toy soldiers won't appeal to everyone but I find the articles are always very refreshing with subjects and figures you will rarely ever see elsewhere.
