Scotia Grendel has the greatest variety when it comes to representing miniatures for Russian trucks (and also for trucks in general). I especially enjoy the ones filled with boxes and such. Heroics and Ros also has good miniatures for trucks filled with troops, something rare in 6mm, but for WW2.

Do you know any good examples of miniatures of trucks filled with troops and boxes for Cold War/Recent era?
Some examples of Russian trucks painted:

RM0148 – Zil-135 L4 Truck (Open Top)

RM0144 – GAZ-63 Light Truck (Open Top)

Quite a collection

Yes, but it took some time to actually get the miniatures, paint, take photos and then make them accessible.

I do know what collecting takes in time and patience. Often thought of doing Mico armor but haven't

thumbs up I like many things about collecting micro armour. If you have the occasion I think you should give it at least a try: the miniatures look surprinsingly good (even those not coming from GHQ, as things changed a lot in the last years), lots of options in terms of manufacturers and miniatures, cheap (but not always that cheap), you will have a lot of room to store some armies, and you can achieve great paint job that can actually be seen (pun intended at 1:300 scale) as such (not that I am very good at painting, but there are a lot of superb examples here on TMP and out there).
