<p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-size: 20.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"><strong>Beyond The Box Art® — Episode 31</strong><br /></span><strong><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">ResKit</span></strong> <span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">with CEO Oleksii Ukhan</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Hiya Benchmates — Episode 31 has landed, and this one is unlike anything we've ever done before.</span></p> <ul> <li class="isselectedend"> </li> </ul> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Apple Color Emoji'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Apple Color Emoji';"> 🎙️</span> <span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"><strong>Feature Discussion — ResKit: Modelling Through War</strong></span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">For this episode we travel virtually to Ukraine to spend time with one of the most respected aftermarket manufacturers in the modelling world.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Joining us is Oleksii Ukhan, CEO of ResKit, for a candid, fascinating and at times deeply moving discussion about the company's history, growth, innovation, and the extraordinary challenges of running a world-class manufacturing business in an active war zone.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">We discuss how ResKit evolved from a small specialist producer into a globally recognised name synonymous with quality, accuracy, and innovation. Oleksii also gives us a unique insight into what daily life looks like for both the company and its staff while operating during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Despite the challenges, ResKit continues to produce some of the finest aftermarket products available anywhere in the hobby, and Oleksii shares the determination, resilience, and spirit that has helped keep the company moving forward.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">We also reveal an exciting major announcement from ResKit and bring listeners a world-exclusive look at some of the company's upcoming releases.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">This is more than just a modelling interview.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">It's a story of perseverance, innovation, community, and the remarkable people behind one of the hobby's most respected brands.<br /> <br /> And instead of our normal theme tune at the end - we have changed it for this episode to a piece called: "Stay With Ukraine"...<br /> <br /></span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Apple Color Emoji'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Apple Color Emoji';"> ⭐</span> <span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"><strong>Beyond The Box Art® Ukraine Community Support Initiative</strong></span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">This episode also marks the launch of a brand-new initiative from Beyond The Box Art®.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Following our discussions with ResKit, we are proud to announce our Ukraine Community Support Initiative.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">The aim is simple.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Any scale modelling company continuing to operate from within Ukraine during the ongoing war will be offered free promotional and advertising support through the show.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">This isn't sponsorship.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">This isn't a commercial arrangement.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">It's simply our way of supporting fellow hobbyists and businesses who continue to keep our hobby alive under incredibly difficult circumstances.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">We hope this initiative helps shine a spotlight on the remarkable work being carried out by Ukrainian manufacturers and demonstrates the modelling community's ability to come together when it matters most.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Apple Color Emoji'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Apple Color Emoji';"> ⭐</span> <span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"><strong>IPMS Dispatches</strong></span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">This episode's IPMS Dispatches heads to the South West as we catch up with the team from IPMS Avon.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">The branch joins us to talk about their thriving club, their members, and the hugely successful Avon Model Show, which has become one of the UK's premier modelling events.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">We discuss what visitors can expect from this year's show, the work that goes into organising an event of this scale, and why clubs like IPMS Avon remain such an important part of keeping the hobby welcoming, vibrant, and community-focused.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Apple Color Emoji'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Apple Color Emoji';"> ⭐</span> <span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"><strong>Stash Inflation Report</strong></span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">As always, the team round up the latest releases, aftermarket temptations, kit announcements, and wallet-destroying arrivals from across the modelling world.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">From aircraft and armour to ships, sci-fi, and enough aftermarket resin to make your postal carrier question your life choices, the stash inflation continues its relentless advance.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">There may also be at least one questionable segue.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Possibly several.</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">And as always, somebody will almost certainly claim they're "not buying anything else this month."</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">(History suggests otherwise.)</span></p> <p class="isselectedend"><span style= "font-family: 'Apple Color Emoji';

Episode 30 - Sam Dwyer, Scott Taylor & John Marley - Australia Calling!

<h1>Beyond The Box Art® — Episode 30</h1> <h2>Australia Calling! with Sam Dwyer, Scott Taylor & John Marley</h2> <p>Hiya Benchmates — Episode 30 has landed, and this one comes with a distinctly Australian flavour running right through it… so there's every chance the stash inflation may need to be measured in kangaroos per square metre!</p> <p>As June begins, Beyond The Box Art® also proudly celebrates Pride Month and inclusion across the hobby community. Modelling is — and always should be — for everyone, regardless of background, identity, experience, or what happens to be on your workbench.<br /> Our special Pride show logo this month is a small but important reminder that the show/Benchmates community is built around respect, support, friendship, and a shared love of the hobby.</p> <p><strong>🎙️ Feature Discussion — Australia Calling!</strong></p> <p>For this episode the team head down under for a brilliant conversation with friends of the show from Australia, covering modelling, community, creativity, and how the hobby scene continues to thrive on the other side of the world — even if absolutely everything seems to want to kill you there.</p> <p>Joining us are Sam Dwyer, Scott Taylor from The Scale Modellers Supply, and John Marley from Peace by Piece, for a hugely enjoyable discussion that bounces between modelling, mateship, mental health, community projects, and the simple reality that scale modellers everywhere are fundamentally the same — just with different accents and possibly more dangerous wildlife!</p> <p>We also celebrate an incredible milestone for The Scale Modellers Supply as the company marks its 10th anniversary, reflecting on how SMS has grown from a small Australian business into one of the hobby's most respected names worldwide.</p> <p>Alongside that, John Marley joins us to discuss the fantastic Peace by Piece initiative and the genuinely meaningful impact modelling can have beyond the bench itself.</p> <p>As expected… things occasionally drift gloriously off course into humour, hobby chaos, and several moments where the team probably should have been supervised.</p> <p><strong>⭐ IPMS Dispatches</strong></p> <p>This episode's IPMS Dispatches heads to East Anglia as we spend some time with the team from IPMS West Norfolk.</p> <p>The branch give us a great insight into their club, members, local modelling scene, and the work they do supporting the hobby within the community. We also hear about their upcoming events, club atmosphere, and why local branches remain such an important part of keeping modelling social, welcoming, and alive.</p> <p><strong>⭐ Stash Inflation Report</strong></p> <p>As always, the team round up the latest releases, aftermarket temptations, kit announcements, resin wizardry, and wallet-threatening arrivals from across the modelling world.</p> <p>From aircraft to armour, ships to sci-fi, and more Gundam-related plastic than is probably medically advisable, the stash inflation continues to rise faster than an Australian summer temperature reading.</p> <p>There may also be at least one questionable segue, a dangerous amount of enabling, and the usual promises that "this is definitely the last kit for a while."</p> <p>(We all know that's a lie.)</p> <p><strong>⭐ Pride Month & The Modelling Community</strong></p> <p>This month also gives us an opportunity to simply say something important:</p> <p>The hobby is for <strong>everyone</strong>.</p> <p>Whether you build aircraft, armour, cars, figures, Gunpla, ships, sci-fi, or something completely impossible to explain to normal people — the bench should always be a place where people feel welcome, accepted, and able to simply enjoy creating.</p> <p>Beyond The Box Art® remains incredibly proud of the wonderfully diverse global community that has grown around the show, and we genuinely thank <strong>every</strong> single Benchmate for helping make it such a positive & inclusive place to be.<br /> <br /> <br /></p> <p>So… grab a brew, avoid the drop bears, clear a space on the bench, and prepare for another wander into the wonderful world of scale modelling.</p> <p>BTBA Episode 30 starts <strong>NOW</strong>!</p> <p>Brownie & the Beyond The Box Art® team<br /> <strong>Models.
