    "Inside the Box Revealed! " 🦌🦘

    In this episode of Just Making Conversation, come and join Malcolm and James for the moment you’ve been waiting for… The Moosaroo Cup 2025 Challenge is finally revealed! 🦌🦘 That’s right, we’ve teamed up with IPMS Hamilton (the fine folks who brought you plastic model glory and more raffle tickets than you can shake a sprue at) and Light Speed Global (because what’s faster than light? …nothing, except maybe a modeller racing against a show deadline). This year’s challenge is BIGGER, BOLDER, and possibly more glue-covered than ever before. 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
