    Sèvres 2018 is this weekend and as usual Bruno Leibovitz takes the opportunity to launch new figurines.
    As always 54mm, metal, sculpted by Bruno LEIBOVITZ

    First : Général Baron Edouard de Colbert 1813
    [IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG]

    Second : General Caulaincourt grand equerry 1809
    [IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG]

    And third : My favorite figure (who knows why?)
    Imperial Customs - Brigade on foot
    [IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG]

    Two little anecdotes about this corps not really military (composed of former military however)
    Napoleon planned to integrate a battalion of Customs in his imperial guard but the end of the empire made things worse.
    Finally, because of its conduct during the siege of Danzig in 1813, the Customs Service received the honor of being the first of all units (military or public service) to be able to wear the Legion of Honor on its uniform ( a madder band on the pants).

    I have a big problem with Metal Modeles, I am running out of space to store their figures at home!

    I'll keep buying them, anyway, I've already ordered Colbert ;)
