My father, Laurence St.Leger, who has died aged 76, was a giant in the world of miniatures, and delighted collectors with his hand-crafted doll’s house miniatures and miniature automata.
Laurence and his wife and co-creator, Angela, became rock stars in the world of 1:12 scale (the traditional ratio used for miniatures) and the pieces they made are esteemed for their exacting scale, perfect craftsmanship, eye for detail and humour.
