    Just Making Conversation – Latest Episode: Catching Up on 48-48, Moosaroo, and The Bench

    In this episode of Just Making Conversation, we’re catching up on all the latest happenings in the world of scale modeling! We dive into the madness of 48-48, reflecting on the highs, the challenges, and everything in between from the epic 48-hour live-streamed event. We also chat about the latest Moosaroo Cup developments—who’s building what, and how the competition is shaping up. And of course, we take a moment to check in on The Bench, discussing what’s been built, what’s been broken, and what’s still in the stash.

    Grab a cuppa, settle in, and join us for a laid-back chat about all things modeling. It’s time to make conversation!
