I saw one of his figures, I think it was a carabinier, stunningly painted in that shop in Paris for the insane price of €750.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-37121737533849558142018-11-18T12:16:34.776+13:002018-11-18T12:16:34.776+13:00Another fine selection Mark.

I will probably steal it... ;-)<br />I personally think that Brono Leibovitz is one of the best miniatures designers out there I love his style ... Elegantly understated with the focus on the uniforms.<br />Just browsing through the Metal Modèles website is inspiring in itself.<br /><br />All the best.
