Dragon seems to have lost figure battle to Master Box. The latter's Rommel looks much better:

Yup, they are wrong as usual.  As always, no time to do research and get things right.

Nice job, I like seeing these types of posts.  Keep up the good work!  If I ever get off the forum long enough to open one of these boxes and actually build something, I hope I could do that good!

Great work, nice photography too.

If I might ever learn to paint a figure 25% as well as you, I'd be a happy camper.

Actually the old Tamiya Rommel figures in 1/35 have better likeness' of him than Dragon or Masterbox

Dragon seems to have lost figure battle to Master Box. The latter's Rommel looks much better:

His hired modeler, "PJ", did this work. Not Model Maniac, as he is a collector, not a builder. He is very clear about that and gives his modelers the credit they are due. It would be nice if they could get a bit more research done before they do a project, though.

Tiger1, Bob, Greg and Eagle90  - thanks much for your kind compliments on PJ's works! He sure did very good job.

Stikpusher - I think you're right. And I have the one you mentioned:
