Your ground crew vehicles look good!

I use Lego tools as well 8) There are some newer ones that look realistic and are about the right size for 1:18. These are avaliable in many Lego sets, especially those having something to do with cars or racing. I've had these tools for a while, however. Here's a couple photos:
