About this listen

Hiya Benchmates, In this episode we have taken a bit of a different direction for a one off with regards to the advantage of scale modelling and the benefits for mental health. We are joined by Malcolm Childs & James Skiffins from Models for Heroes (& the Just making conversation podcast) to take a deep dive into the benefits scale modelling can give.

We are also joined by our new team member - Luke Flynn (our guest on episode 5) who has helped bring down the average age of the rest of the team by several decades!!!

Looking forward to Episode 7 - we will be joined by Jon Tabinor, assistant editor for SAM - Scale Aircraft Modelling magazine as well as working on Model Truck World and Toy Soldier collector - so it's not all aviation!
