FACTS & FIGURES

摘要

By the time you read these words, Christmas will have arrived and departed and you would have received I hope, all the kits you wished for in your 'Letter to Santa'. However, that said, just before the festivities began, I received the one Christmas present that (almost) any Napoleonic fan could wish for, namely a parcel containing the latest Metal Modeles releases. Even taking into account the usual high standard of Bruno Leibovitz's products, I was more than overjoyed by his selection of subjects, with a mounted Carabinier officer along with a foot figure representing a trumpeter from the same regiment, and three other foot figures. As always with Metal Modeles, they are all cast in white metal that just require careful removal of mould lines and a little filler here and there to close any small gaps, I usually find that gap-filling superglue will do the job.
