Hello all,
Thought I would help out a friend and post a few of his trucks that he has built,most are in 1/35th scale.
Some of you may know of this model builder,he most certainly an inspiration to me.His name is Steve Groombridge and yes I have invited him to join us here on Truckorama and share some insites but due to a medical condition he has declined,so I have volunteered my gallery space to bring these excellent trucks to this forum.

Steve can be reached through his site though.

Excellent trucks. Í can easily see why models like these are an inspiration. Its a pity the photos are not in colour. Hopefully your friends medical condition is not serious or long term .... he would be a welcome addition. Thanks for sharing.

Russ they are fantastic models. I cannot pick between them but I will say I like the look of the breakdown, Austin K6 at the top.

Looks like this addition to the site might take off.. Excellent, just one problem. I haven't got enough time now, how am I going to find the time to start again on my Scania 143?

Roo. if you like wreckers and that, here's a pic from a Austrian Website, model is by a guy called Robert.



Cheers

Really nice models, very well done.
I like the B&W photos, kind of adds an era look to the models.

Russ, you've shown me some of Steve's stuff before, and they really make me feel inadequate ( modelling wise that is!!LOL)
Wish he could join us here!

Henk this forum is not the new addition for civilian based trucks. Jim has set up a new forum just for all the civilian based stuff.

Yes I love wreckers and breakdown trucks, BUT WW2 ones and older.

My most humble appologies, I think my muddeled brain has started to lump averything without tracks and armourplating on one big heap...... Note to self, must pay more attention!
