Vlaai for FIGZ

Posted by Dad's Army on 29 May 2022, 16:35

Well like most of you know, we have our forum event FIGZ next week again.
And my good friend Peter always brings vlaai to it, and I wondering why.
So I did some research and found out why, it's simple a beautiful lady who makes vlaai.
Here she is:

Hahaha, well it was a nice figure to paint, 28 mm it is.
I tried to give the cat a Aristocat look , and the lady a colorful outfit.
She was fun painting, that's for sure!

She's beautiful! :love:

And she can bake! :love: :love: :love:

Very nice figure and a lovely colourful paint job, I really like the polka dot oven gloves. My illusions are shattered though, I thought Peter baked the vlaai.

Enjoy your Vlaai and nice figures.
I'm a bit jealous but also happy you will meet again.

Beautifully painted figure, Remco. :yeah:

Unfortunately, it seems quite uncertain whether I will make it to this year's finally returning Figs.
The Missus has ordered a radical & complete renovation of the house and the current circumstances are not ideal. :stressed:

Instead, and out of solidarity with the Figs participants, we will probably enjoy a similar speciality of the 3-country corner D-B-NL from afar next weekend. ;-) :beer:

Riißvlaam or Riesflam in local dialect (Rijstevlaai in dutch/flemish, sweet rice pie in english ...)

Have fun guys!

Why has no one ever mentioned vlaai before?

If I had known I would surely have sought out such wondrous dishes, just to sample them.

Actually -vflaam and -flam sound like our English 'flan', which is a similar of dish, so maybe I am not that deprived.

No one? :shock: It is well known fact that there's Vlaai+Peter at FIGZ.
We all make jokes for years about that :xd:

Sadly I have never been to Figs, so have missed all the humour.

Me neither. Jokes were told here on forum a lot. ;-)
But I'm not blaming you for not knowing, just explaining :-D

It's not clear to me. Is this figure a representation of Peter's wife? Or is he the one who cooks the vlaai himself? :shock:

Great paintjob on this cheerful figure, Remco. :thumbup:

Excellent work my friend! See you tomorrow with some more vlaai! :mrgreen: :thumbup:

It all started with a simple nameplate, somewhere hidden on this forum. It was a swap! Remco would make me my personal (VIP) badge and I would a "vlaai" with me! First time was at Kampen!

The Vlaai was really tasty again! And now I will constantly thinking about the brownhaired lady, while eating it in the future. Nice paintjob, my friend!
