There's a very similar one (possibly by the same person?) called "What did you do in the war daddy?", with a Sherman M4A3 with a guy getting yanked out of the driver's hatch missing his lower leg, and then a guy on a crutch with his kid looking at the other side (he had a crutch b/c his lower leg was missing). Great dio, perhaps even a touch better than this one.

I like this. It deserves a better nameplate than the builder provided.

Cool idea! I really like it.
What does the name plate say anyway?

Great idea and execution but after all that effort I have to agree with Al, and I almost always agree with Al, it needs a better name plate or none at all. If you are going to spend all that time building the diorama either pony up the cash for the brass plate title or leave it off.
