The glue has dried, the paint’s cured, and somehow… they’re still friends.In this long-overdue catch-up, the lads chat about what’s been going on during the downtime — including prepping their Golden Walnut and Hobnob builds for the upcoming Scale ModelWorld show in Telford. Expect tales of misplaced parts, ambitious deadlines, and the eternal optimism of “it’ll be fine on the night.”It’s the same mix of banter, honesty, and hobby nonsense you’ve missed — James and Malcolm are back in the glue again, and things are about to get delightfully sticky.

Will it involve tanks? Planes? Spaceships made of moose antlers? You’ll have to listen in to find out!👉 Expect banter, expect laughter, and expect us to completely forget the rules at least once.💡 What is the Moosaroo Cup?A globe-spanning modelling showdown where the best plastic wranglers in the hobby go head-to-head in a build-off for eternal bragging rights (and maybe snacks).So grab your hobby knife, pour a fresh cup of paint water (don’t drink it), and join us as we uncover the madness of Moosaroo Cup 2025.#MoosarooCup2025 #ScaleModels #JustMakingConversation
