On launch day of the long-anticipated 1/32 Sea Fury kit, we sit down with the owners of DBMK for an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about what it took to bring this flagship release to life.

In this interview, they open up about the journey from concept to production—covering the challenges of developing a large-scale kit, the design decisions that shaped the final product, and the passion that drives the brand forward. From tooling hurdles to community feedback, nothing is off the table as they reflect on the realities of running a modern model company in a demanding hobby space.

We also dig into the identity of DBMK as a business: where they see themselves in the industry, how they balance ambition with sustainability, and what sets their approach apart in an increasingly competitive market.

Looking ahead, the conversation turns to the future. What’s next after the Sea Fury? Are more large-scale kits on the horizon? Will they expand into new subjects, scales, or even new directions entirely? The answers offer an exciting glimpse into what modelers can expect from DBMK in the months and years to come.

Whether you’re here for the aircraft, the craftsmanship, or the story behind the brand, this is a must-watch discussion that captures a pivotal moment in DBMK’s journey.

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.
