Thanks for the fist knock Tim but I think this may actually be an older work from Taesung Harms. Before he got into the resin biz?
I could be wrong (and frequently am). Nice work though,lots of drama.

First time seeing this one, and it's pleasing to view.
Real nice how all the small details combined greatly help to tell the story:
a flying bucket, the hair, #plate coming undone, pitched and rolling suspension, cranked hard on the front wheels, the GI"s helmet, a beautiful clock maybe getting tagged, and naturally the senior officer looking back at ?
Not to mention the facial expressions.
Well done and something I can remember: sometimes less can be more.![]()

This is indeed by Taesung Harmms from around 2003
A description from Taesung.........
"This vignette was inspired from a well photograph of KO'd schwimmwagen from 17.SS-Panzergrenadier-Division "Götz von Berlichingen" in France 1944. This is sort of telling a story how the vehicle in the photograph met its end. Tamiya Schwimmwagen kit was dressed up with Aber PE and Jaguar sand tires. However Jaguar sand tires have the hubs sitting too shallow and the width is not thick enough. I fixed the hub issue buy cutting out the hubs and make them sit deep inside. This resulted in the wheels protrude outside which was what I wanted. Figures were made with putty and resin/plastic heads. The car was tilted on one side to illustrate the vehicle in turning motion. I named the vignette "The Getaway Driver."![]()
Superbly done scene, plus it captures a bit of actual history. willc453 mentioned an alternative, which reminded me of a similar one shown in Military Modeler many moons ago. It has a jeep with 3 boozed-up GI's careening around a city street corner, splashing thru rain puddles, after soaking some poor 2nd Lt with a splash. The GI in the back was nearly falling out while trying to hang on to bottles/crates of "liberated" booze. The jeep is leaning heavily to one side & the tires even had splashes under/around them. Really great & funny scene, but can't recall who built it or what issue of the magazine had it featured.
