Hi Phil,

I have a couple of pictures of such characters in my files, and I saw one flat painted in the show of Rubelles in 2016 of this picture, but I ignore who painted it, and who is editing it .... The picture was taken by Serge Dintroz, I will contact him to ask whether he knows more about it....  I assumed the size to be 120mm ...

I'll let you know if I hear more about it.

First reply is this flat was seemingly inspired by a drawing of LUIS ROYO, and as probably created by Yvan Durand and sold by a fantastic figurines brand then.  It was probably painted by a member of Rubelles club called "petit Pierre".

I am contacting Yvan now to get a confirmation and will look to Rubelles also, keeping you informed on progress.

Drawing confirmed as being from Luis Ryo, but Yvan confirmed that he has not created this flat.
