They have nice detail, but a little small.

Some hand spades can be pretty short, but a pitchfork not much longer then a windshield wiper blade is a bit too much off-scale.

Possibly placed in a different location it wouldn't look so "off"

Either way, nice find

I think they look good, but you need to do a few things:

- Enhance the "scale-ness" of them by turning the red part on the pointed shovel around so it is not visible, and perhaps shaping the handles a bit.

- Affix them to the truck in a prototypical way. Not sure I have ever seen tools strapped to a truck the way you show.

- Paint the shovels. A good dry brush technique using cheap dollar store acrylics and brushes will go a long way to making them look well used.

Hope that helps.
