Our very own Chris Cooper (Lonewolf) is recognised in the latest Society magazine with an article on the 'Tatie Bulker' ... ... well done Chris, I'll look forward to reading your exploits about the build. Truck modelling accounts for a small portion of the plastic modelling hobby, and articles like this show folks just what can be done and advertise our presence. So, what are you waiting for? ... If you're building something different, document your experience and photograph the build progress, put it all into an article, about 2000 words, and get it off to JT for the magazine. If you've never written an article before, don't panic, jot down notes about the build in a logical sequence and string it all together. If you need assistance, you can either contact Chris Cooper and ask him how he did it, or contact JT or myself and we'll give you all the encouragement and information you need. I remember the first time I saw my name in print, it's quite a buzz, so go on, why not try it ... and you get paid for your efforts. Magazine Editor ~ John Tapsell: john.tapsell@ntlworld.com.

I think just a quick article to finish the build don't you?
Then there's the weathering challenge, I think that could be a joint effort just to document what it was all about, with piccies of course!

Well I could probably round up enough build photos to do summat.
The weathered challenge thing is OK by me, I have plenty of pics of the F10.
Who is going to be on editor duty?

Cheers Dave! ;D
What can we entice you with? A nice Scania perhaps. A mucky old Volvo?
Have a look at your local hauliers and see what they use. Dunno which part of the West Country you are at but theres Wincantons or that lot from Somerset....oh yeah Keedwells run nice light blue wagons.
Truck SIG on hand here for help and advice. You have to join though hehehe.

Chris Awesome write up and build but who copied and pinched you're idea for the build and put it in truck model world magazine. Ironic that two tatie bulkers where built at the same time. Both awesome builds though. Just wish I could put my ideas into plastic better, I always know what I want to do just spend ages trying to do it and with a lot of failing which really gets me wound up. Congrats
