A couple of 1920s-era trucks. Bashed from Roco's WW2 Russian Army Trucks. They are a great stand in for late 1920s and early 1930s Dodge and Ford trucks.
First one is modified by removing the "canvas" and adding a driver's side mirror. Barrel in the back is scratched from a section of 1/4" dowel and some wine bottle foil.

With this one, I got a little more adventuresome... The B.F. David Coal Company sign is from my collection of signs and lettering. The truck mirror is a little more heavy duty (made from a drop grab and piece of styrene), the coal is real coal, crushed to size, and the shovel and wheelbarrow come from a MOW flat kit from Athearn. The mudflaps visible in the second picture are hung on a piece of music wire, and are made from aluminum foil.
