Beyond The Box Art® — Episode 29 1st Anniversary show — with Stephen Woodhead from Gunpla UK Hiya Benchmates — Episode 29 has landed, and somehow… we've reached our first anniversary. Twelve months ago Beyond The Box Art® started as an idea built around long-form conversation, community, and a love of the hobby. One year later, the show has now been downloaded in 82 countries around the world — and it genuinely still feels slightly surreal saying that out loud. For this special anniversary edition, the team are joined by Stephen Woodhead from Gunpla UK for a wide-ranging and very honest discussion covering Gunpla, creativity, community, and the ever-growing crossover between traditional scale modelling and the wider world of mecha modelling. And yes… things became slightly chaotic halfway through, but the reason behind this is explained at the very end of the show! We also unfortunately suffered some internet gremlins during Stephen's interview which impacted parts of the audio quality, but we're already planning a return visit for part two in the coming months. ⭐ IPMS Dispatches This episode also features a special IPMS Dispatches discussion with incoming IPMS(UK) President Rich Middleton alongside outgoing President Paul Regan, reflecting on the society, the community, and the future ahead. Plus some of the members from IPMS Romsey give us a lowdpwn on the branch and there upcoming show. ⭐ Stash Inflation Report As always, the team round up the latest kit announcements, aftermarket temptations, new releases, and all the dangerous things likely to cause "accidental" additions to the stash. We also say thank you to Luke Slaney-Hewitt for joining us with and insight into Project Harrier – the new tooled 1/32 Harrier due in 2027! ⭐ One Year of Beyond The Box Art® More than anything, this episode is really about saying thank you. To every guest who has given up their time. To every sponsor who believed in the show. To every club, manufacturer, reviewer, creator, and supporter who helped spread the word. And especially to the Benchmates community around the world who continue to listen, share, interact, and make the show feel like something genuinely special. It's been one hell of a first year. So… clear a space on the bench, line up the sprues, grab a brew… BTBA Episode 29 starts NOW! Brownie & the Beyond The Box Art® team Models. Modellers. Meaning.
