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.

It’s the most wonderful time… to talk plastic! In this year’s Just Making Conversation Christmas special, Malcolm and James don their festive jumpers, pour something warm (or alcoholic), and catch up on all the hobby happenings as the year wraps up.
They each share 5 gift ideas they’d give (or secretly want to receive), with plenty of banter, last-minute inspiration, and probably a few questionable choices. Whether you're shopping for a modeller or just looking for an excuse to treat yourself, this episode is stuffed fuller than a stocking with sprue-themed cheer.
🎁 Last-minute gift ideas
🛠️ Hobby updates and project confessions
🍪 Bonus biscuit talk (because, of course)
So pop on the kettle, grab a mince pie, and settle in for a festive episode of Just Making Conversation!

Fresh from the madness of Telford’s Scale Model World, Malcolm and James sit down to debrief, decompress, and maybe deny a few purchases. There were sprues, there were snacks, and yes… an Airfix 1/24 Bf 109 may or may not have been licked.Join the lads as they chat about the kits they couldn’t resist, the people they met, and the moments that made Telford 2025 unforgettable. From hobby highs to wallet woes, it’s all in this post-show therapy session for modellers.🍻 Grab a brew.🍪 Hide the hobnobs.🎧 And welcome to Sprue Lickers Anonymous.

🎙️ Episode 21Its time for us to just make conversation about the amazing world of model making. After an enforced break, James and Malcolm return to the bench, the mics, and the mild chaos that is Just Making Conversation. The glue has dried, the paint’s cured, and somehow… they’re still friends.In this long-overdue catch-up, the lads chat about what’s been going on during the downtime — including prepping their Golden Walnut and Hobnob builds for the upcoming Scale ModelWorld show in Telford. Expect tales of misplaced parts, ambitious deadlines, and the eternal optimism of “it’ll be fine on the night.”It’s the same mix of banter, honesty, and hobby nonsense you’ve missed — James and Malcolm are back in the glue again, and things are about to get delightfully sticky.
