Excellent idea for a dio, well done. I like the dazed look of the driver. The chicken comes out unscathed, hopefully the theres at least supper out of the deal lol.
:-)
Maybe a bunch of claw prints in the sand could show that the chicken was trying to get out of the way

I really like this one.
You just gave me an Idea for a diorama about an encounter I had with "Bambi", but it would have to be so much red paint that the whole thing would be X-rated... Unfortunatly Bambi lost to 23 tons of Swedish armour...

Thanks guys and gals. It was just something I whipped up quickly for the O2W campaign.
The chicken is from the Tamiya Farm Animal as someone else previously stated.

I think you have done a great job! I like the whole story behind it.
What kind of figure is it?
Very nice, I like it!

I cobbled the figure together from a few different open German figure sets. I cannot remember any of the set as they were in my stash from 20 years ago. I believe it was a set of German Engineers and German Stormtroopers from Esci.
I wish I had a better digital camera. My favorite thing is the driver sitting there with his goggles discobobulatd on his hea. I don't think it's very obvious in the pics
