Metal Modeles
The company, founded in November 1989 by Bruno Leibovitz, is based in the south of France in Seillans, a typical medieval village in the Var region. The Métal Modèles team consists of three highly trained and dedicated artisans. Métal Modèles specializes in the creation and the fabrication of 54 mm historical figurine kits that are ready to be assembled and painted, featuring soldiers from the Napoleonic era. Our large selection of horsemen and infantrymen are representative of the regiments of the Grande Armée and illustrate various aspects of the First Empire’s soldiery.
We also showcase other important historical periods. These include the Great War (1914 to 1918) with a series of 54 mm combatants that were, for the most part, created by Didier Daniel and the Second Empire with a series of soldiers from that period that we have recently launched. Since 2004, Métal Modèles has expanded its palette of genres and styles and has launched a series of 80 mm sensual figurines by acquiring the legendary English brand Phoenix. To maintain the level of quality our brand is known for, all the pieces in this series have been restored, and new molds have been made for the entire series. Métal Modèles is also exploring new artistic territory and standards by proposing sculpted busts (created by Michel Saez), a fantasy series (imagined and created by Allan Carrasco), as well as various 75 mm and 90 mm pieces.
