Just Making Conversation

By James Skiffins and Malcolm Childs

We apologise in advance. The JMC podcast is mostly about the hobby of scale models, making and painting hobbies in miniature. When not modelling, James and Malcolm are just making conversation.

Recorded under the cover of lightweight and practical anorak.

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.

Bongu!  In this episode, James and Malcolm make conversation about Wargaming Models. Are they really models or just tokens for silly games? Can you even enter them into competitions?  Are deliberately antagonising podcast descriptions considered clickbait?
