Scale Model Podcast Ep 162 - IPMS Presidents

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.

Beyond The Box Art® Episode 34 & The Scale Model Podcast Episode 162 starts NOW!
