Hey guys. I've been playing catch up with my podcast listening. I always enjoy your review of what's coming out in the model world. Both for the information and the back and forth comments. Keep it up! What's on my bench: Tamiya P-38 with way too much aftermarket. Revell SR-71a for when I need a break from the P-38 nightmare I created What I'm reading: I just finished the Geddy Lee book, much like Brent did. I've been a Rush fan since my first Rush purchase in 1976. I was lucky enough to see Geddy earlier this year on his book tour. The date of the event coincided with Holocaust Remembrance Day so he spent some extra time talking on that subject. A great evening that was. Dust - this is the third book in the Silo series. They made the TV series after the first book. The next season will start looking at book 2, Shift. The Cactus Air Force: Air War over Guadalcanal - A good read. Nothing else has ever held a candle to Neptune's Inferno, but still very enjoyable. Be well everyone and keep building! Bob Bair - Charlotte, NC www.theVOICEofBOB.com From Martin Hulst: Recommended Frans G. Bengtsson The Long Ships, historical Viking fiction. We want to hear from you!

Beyond The Box Art® — Episode 34 Scale Model Podcast — Episode 162 IPMS UK & USA Presidents - TOGETHER Hiya Benchmates — Episode 34 has landed, and this is one we've genuinely been looking forward to for a very long time. For only the second time, Beyond The Box Art® joins forces with our great friends at The Scale Model Podcast for another special transatlantic collaboration, bringing together voices from both sides of the Atlantic for what has become a truly landmark episode. This time, however, we're making a little bit of history... Feature Discussion — The First Public IPMS Presidents Round Table For the first time ever, the Presidents of IPMS UK, IPMS USA, and IPMS Canada come together publicly for one conversation. Joining Brownie, Balders, Dan & Shane are Terry Miesle and Geoff Heyland, plus: Ian Middleton — President, IPMS UK • John Noack — President, IPMS USA Together they discuss the future of IPMS, attracting new generations of modellers, supporting clubs and shows, the challenges facing modelling organisations around the world, and why the hobby remains as relevant today as ever. Rather than a formal interview, this is a genuine round-table discussion between friends who all share the same goal — ensuring scale modelling continues to thrive for many years to come. There are thoughtful discussions, plenty of laughs, a healthy amount of good-natured banter, and more than a few moments where international diplomacy is tested over plastic kits. Stash Inflation Report The team's wallets once again take a considerable battering as they round up the latest kit announcements, aftermarket releases and modelling temptations from around the world. Aircraft, armour, naval subjects, Gunpla and everything in between all come under the spotlight, with plenty of opportunities to add "just one more kit" to the stash. As always, expect a few questionable purchasing decisions, several enabling comments, and at least one declaration that "I definitely don't need another one..." (We all know how that ends.) This episode is more than simply another podcast. It's a celebration of what can happen when modelling communities work together rather than apart, proving that while our accents, club badges and favourite subjects may differ, we're all united by exactly the same passion for scale modelling. We sincerely hope this becomes the first of many annual conversations bringing together IPMS organisations from around the world. So grab a brew, pull up a chair at the bench, and join us for a truly international conversation celebrating our hobby.

Scale Model Podcast — Episode 161 Beyond The Box Art® — Episode 28 Breaking the Hiatus! Hiya Benchmates — and a very warm welcome to something a little bit special. This episode sees Beyond The Box Art® joining forces with the Scale Model Podcast as we help cover the gap SMP has left since Stuart took a break to look after his better half following a prolonged health issue — and what better way to do it than with a proper transatlantic natter session. Joining Brownie for this one from the UK are Dan Brazil & Shane Cowie and from SMP we have dusted off Geoff Heyland and Terry Miesley for a general hobby conversation and how BTBA was robbed at the moosaroo cup ???? amongst many other topics. Unfortunately we had a technical issue whilst recording, so there are a few bits of the conversation which sound a bit odd or not to the normal quality we try to put out – but it was better than losing a big chunk of the show!
