Have you simulated caked up old grease from the hydraulics and surrounding areas?

Throw up some pics so we can see what your working with... its easier if I see what's been done already.

Looks good. I would also suggest doing some bags in white.

Along with making some "cardboard" and different color and shape boxes.

You could probably do that with painted note cards and or air dry clay bought from a dollar store.

Take some small sprue cut it to small lengths and heat gently and smoosh it with some smoot jaw pliers then paint it to look like bent soda or soup cans. You could make small wads of "packing paper" with painted kleenex (will hold its shape) just ad a dab of Elmer's or matte mod podge to the paint.

Tile grout will make for some nice looking dust and pebbles.

Small balls of painted clay can be made to look like smashed/rotten tomatoes. And old cabbage and other perished produce.

Get those small plastic coffee stirrers that are whit with red or blue strip and stretch a little sprue and you can make like fast food soda cup with straw ( the sprue)

Hell, its Halloween... I'll send you a resin skull if you want

The truck could be operating in a "mob area" ?

You could recreate the truck from the opening scene of commando and put a small uzi in the back!

I probably have a resin one of those also.

How about the skeleton from one of Monogram's Tom Daniels kits?

Maybe too morbid? ?
