Just Making Conversation episodes

  • Telford and Nuts. Scale Model World is such a riotous 2 day celebration of modelling its hard to condense it down to 57 minutes. But we did.

    Hello! In this episode James talks to Malcolm about his Scale Model World experience including the competition review, the traders and The Nuts Award.  After having met so many good folk and looking at so many fantastic model making projects it is inevitable that Malcolm forgot some people to mention.

  • FAQ's. What are the same innane questions from the public at model shows that we hear over and over again.

    Hello!  In this episode James and Malcolm get a bit annoyed at hearing the same questions at model shows from non modellers.  What are these questions, why are they asked and how do we answer them?  We come to some enlightening conclusions.  This is episode 18 of Just Making Conversation.

  • Gender Diversity. A complex subject that James and Malcolm expect to fix in an 80 minute podcast.

    Hello!  In this episode we are just making conversation about the gender diversity in the model making hobby.  Where are all the women at?  Is it something we said?  We ask expert women Lisa Mason (@Goldfinch_minis) and Nat Williamson (@Dextrous Crafter) why there it is more men in the hobby and what we can all do to change that.   This is Season 2, Episode 16 of Just Making Conversation

  • Duxford Day Release

    Hello! In this episode we will be making conversation about our extra special visit to the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, UK.  Reference photographs for the Mustang P-51B was our mission.  We took a trip around just three hangers at the Museum but did not have the time to explore the entire space.  Maybe a return trip is on the cards? Our thanks to the the staff for giving us the space to make this podcast and view their amazing exhibits.  Particular thanks to the restoration staff for their time and expertise.
