… you can had those figures in 54mm. "You may be familiar with the "French" figures Mokarex. Well in Belgium, the coffee brand Storme used the same ones as a promotion. From 1963, the purchase of 500gr of their coffee was entitled to a figure of 54mm. They were all produced by the same studio that Mokarex, however, it's considered the finest engraving. Judge for yourself" From link For translation you can used. translate.google.com/#fr/en Well, if you are going to made a diorama, you had to drink A LOT of Storme café. Hope you enjoy!.

This certainly puts to shame some of the baubles and trinkets offered by fast-food places with their happy meals. Can you imagine what might be offered from a wine or champagne business? Salut, Robert

Interesting. I could easily drink enough coffee to get the whole collection in a couple of weeks! Benoit: Armand was very helpful to me when I was working on a Paraguayan War project. Here's hoping you can convince him to assist with yours.
