*************************************** Interview 1 David Lockhart - President IPMS USA Bio: I live in Duluth, GA (40 miles NE of Atlanta). Prior to my retirement (Aug 2021) I was in diagnostic microbiology sales. I started building models young (around the age 9-10). I modelled until college and like many, college, marriage, career & kids, but a bit of a hold on modelling. I started back when the kids got into middle school and started ignoring Dad. Since then, I’ve been going full steam ahead. I am a bit of an eclectic modeller: I build ships, planes, sci-fi. My favourite models are sailing ships. I’m finishing up a couple of chapter projects (Panther Ausf. D tank) and will get back to finishing my Revell 1/96 Constitution. [foogallery id="3260"] *************************************** WHAT’S ON THE BENCH Stuart - Trying to get the Beaufighter done for the “Let’s go Pacific group build” Too much club show planning and other real-life tasks have sucked bench time away.
Also reading Shattered Sword - The Untold Story of Midway Geoff - mostly real-world granddad stuff this time, but I did pick up a number of built-up kits in support of a local RCAF social group (1/144 Martin Mars, 1/72 Avro Avrocar, etc) and have been stripping them and cleaning them up. Most are rare, odd resin things and I’m really enjoying the process of bringing them back to life! Terry - I should be done with the 1/48 Fine Molds Mitshubishi Babs by the time this episode airs. I’ll get photos this week. Cleanup work on the 1/1400 Aldrin Class continues well. I have been replacing some greeblies, and need to to a bit of scribing reinforcement. That’s always the problem with 3D printed kits - if they have a lot of details it’s difficult to remove the grow lines. This will disappear as each generation of printers improves. I know how I want to paint this, and will need to order some registry decals from G-Cals. Just finished Tom Cleaver’s Under the Southern Cross, his second book of the early pacific air war. ************************************** SPONSOR AD #2 Seans Custom Model Tools ************************************** THINGS WE’VE SEEN Modeling for a Buck or Two https://reviews.ipmsusa.org/ https://www.nats2023.com/ G-Cals custom decals for SF subjects *************************************** THE LAST WORD SMP Ep. 118 is also sponsored by Return To Kit Form (R2KF).

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!
