Beyond The Box Art®

Beyond The Box Art® — Episode 27 The Hobby Today - an in depth discussion with Rob Riviezzo & Spencer Pollard Hiya Benchmates — Episode 27 has landed, and this one brings together two hugely respected voices from opposite sides of the Atlantic. Joining us for this episode is the return of co-host Spencer Pollard alongside Rob Riviezzo for what became a fascinating, funny, and surprisingly wide-ranging discussion about the hobby today. From the way the hobby has changed, to the differences between the UK and US modelling scenes, to where scale modelling is heading next — this is one of those conversations that could probably have gone on for another three hours. 🎙️ Feature Discussion — Rob Riviezzo & Spencer Pollard In this episode, Rob and Spencer join Brownie for a genuinely transatlantic conversation on all corners of the hobby. We explore: How the hobby has changed over the years Mental health & the influence of social media, YouTube, and online communities Whether modern kits are making modelling easier — or more complicated The rise of aftermarket, 3D printing, and premium accessories Why people build models — and what keeps us all coming back to the bench and much much more... Despite being known for very different areas of the hobby, Rob and Spencer found themselves agreeing on far more than ANYONE expected! ⭐ IPMS Dispatches We continue our regular IPMS Dispatches feature with a chat about IPMS Middleton Cheney, the local club scene, and some very different themes for there annual displays - and they don't have alchol at there branch meetings... They have cake!

If you enjoy hearing passionate modellers talking honestly about the hobby — where it is today and where it may be going tomorrow — then this is an episode you do not want to miss.

Ma.K built the Wright way! Hiya fellow Benchmates, This episode we're heading into something pretty special — the 48 in 48 global charity build, where modellers from around the world unite for forty-eight hours of creativity, community, and building hope in scale for Models for Heroes. We're joined by Steff Keighley and James Skiffins, who take us behind the scenes of the event — how it started, what makes it tick, and why this incredible weekend has become such a powerful force within the modelling community. From live builds and auctions to merch and community spirit, this is modelling with real purpose. Then things get seriously interesting as we sit down with the Ma.K master himself — Lincoln Wright. This isn't your typical interview. We dive deep into Maschinen Krieger philosophy, artistic mindset, creative process, and what it really means to push modelling beyond instructions, beyond expectations… and sometimes beyond comfort zones. Alongside the main features, you'll find all the usual Beyond The Box Art® goodness: ✦ Stash Inflation Report — the new releases quietly plotting against your wallet ✦ Bench-top banter and community natter ✦ Benchmates Mail and listener interaction If you're passionate about modelling as creativity, community, and connection — this episode is absolutely for you.

In this episode of Beyond The Box Art®, we're joined by one of the most quietly influential names in modern scale modelling — Petr Herrmann of ArtScaleKit (ASK). Coming to us from the Czech Republic, Petr (joined by his son Petr Jnr) talks us through how ASK began, why so many of their aftermarket masks exist because something annoyed him at the bench, and how real-world modelling experience continues to drive everything they design. English may not be Petr's first language, but the passion, humour and insight come through loud and clear — with Petr Jnr helping translate along the way. We also get into the thinking behind some of ASK's best-known products, the importance of practical problem-solving, and yes… the unexpected modelling uses for Zippo lighter fluid (not that kind). Elsewhere in the episode, we're joined by friend of the show Luke Slaney-Hewitt from Revell, as the 2026 range is revealed at the 75th Anniversary Nürnberg Toy Fair at 16:00 UTC on the 27th January — which is why this episode has droped a little earlier than usual. Add in the usual bench-side banter, a healthy dose of Stash Inflation, and the odd wander off-topic, and you've got another classic BTBA episode. So grab a brew, move the extra thin out of harm's way, and settle in. This is Episode 20 of Beyond The Box Art®. Models. Modellers. Meaning.

Hiya Benchmates, Airfix have revealed their 2026 range — and there are some serious surprises in store. From new tool announcements to long-awaited favourites, we break down what modellers really need to know. We're also joined by Carl Robertshaw and Christopher Mercer from Fischkopp, diving deep into extreme Spitfire super-detailing — pushing plastic to museum-level realism with advanced aftermarket techniques, engineering insight, and hard-won bench wisdom. Alongside the main feature, we've got all the usual Beyond The Box Art® goodness: ✦ Stash Inflation Report ✦ Bench chat & community natter ✦ What's catching our eye at the workbench If you love Airfix, Spitfires, and taking your builds far beyond the instructions — this one's for you. We also chat with Bolders and Wongy about our local IPMS show in Bolton on the 25th January, at the Toughsheet stadium Bolton - details on the show in the show(!) and available here: https://boltonmodelclub.co.uk/show/ Where you will be able to SEE what Airfix have announced as they are attending (along with Revell!) We also have our normal chat for which we are joined by our Gundam expert Shane and the return of Luke Flynn from Mach Models on the back of his recent Tamiya F14D build video. PLUS! Although the range announcements from Airfix dropped the day before this episode went live, we through cation to the wind and recorded a special addition to the Stash Inflation Report with all the new release news!

🎉 Happy New Year, Benchmates! 🎉 Welcome to Season 2 of Beyond The Box Art® — and we're kicking off 2026 exactly how we mean to go on… loudly, enthusiastically, and surrounded by brilliant people. After surviving the festive fallout of leftover turkey, mince pies, and suspiciously stalled bench progress, we're back with a proper New Year special stacked with guests, news, and a few surprises along the way. 🔹 Joining us first is modelling extraordinaire Jon Tabinor, magazine editor at our newest sponsors Guideline Publications. Jon steps in as guest host for the episode and gives us an exclusive rundown of what's coming across the full Guideline titles in the February issues — plus the thinking behind them. 🔹 We're also joined by the one and only Pod-father himself — Dave Goldfinch from On The Bench, the original scale modelling podcast. Dave dives into the realities of starting and running a show, the state of the hobby, and his uncanny ability to predict kit announcements… sometimes before the manufacturers even realise they've announced them. 🔹 And because it's New Year… we've saved something special. We're joined by the Managing Director of Kōtare - Mark Robson, giving us an update on their latest developments — only that's not actually why they were invited on. All is revealed when they're announced as the winner of the Beyond The Box Art® Benchmates Kit of the Year 2025 🏆 So… clear a space on your bench, put your feet up, grab a brew — 🚀 BTBA 2026 starts NOW.

Hiya Benchmates, Welcome to a surprise bonus episode in which we are joined by Luke Slaney- Hewitt again with the first part of the 2026 range announcements for Revell and it's not just aviation, but everything they are planning on bringing out!   After Lukes announcment, you can hear those of us that were privy to the discussion talk about whats coming out - which has really annoyed the rest of the team, as we have not told them whats coming out (Luke said keep it a secret - and we have... since September when we recorded it!) :-D  Anyway, due to a slight technical fubar, we are also rerunning Scott Taylors interview from The Scale Modellers Supply as I had to re-upload the original recording due to an edditing error on my part, and as such,  we are running it again - and even with that, SMS have come onboard as a sponsor of the show!  Thank you Scott. Anyway, we will be back soon with our normall content and hopefully some interviews from Telford as well as reaction to the show. 👉 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube Music, or wherever you get your modelling fix!
