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.

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

Blonde hair or not, I think you did a great job!  The figures are amazing.  Thanks for posting the pics!

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

Model Maniac

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

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

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.

Congratulations on your dioramas. I like to see dioramas of the Afrika Korps.

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!
