Beyond The Box Art®

Beyond The Box Art® — The Scale Modellers Podcast

More than kits. More than plastic. It's the people, stories and passion behind the hobby.
Every fortnight, Beyond The Box Art® brings scale modellers around the world together for lively conversation, informed opinion, honest discussion and plenty of bench-side banter.
From aircraft, armour, ships, cars, bikes, sci-fi and Gundam to the people and companies shaping the hobby, we go beyond simply talking about what's in the box.
We speak to manufacturers, designers, historians, authors, retailers, event organisers and some of the best-known personalities in scale modelling — alongside the everyday modellers who make this hobby what it is.

Whether you're returning to modelling, opening your very first kit or have decades at the bench behind you, Beyond The Box Art® is designed to be your companion at the workbench, on the commute or wherever you choose to listen.
Regular features include:

Stash Inflation Report — new kits, accessories and aftermarket releases from across the modelling world

Modelling News & Events — clubs, shows, organisations and events from the UK and around the world

Feature Interviews — in-depth conversations with the people, companies and organisations behind the hobby

Bench Chat — techniques, tools, products, experiences and the occasional modelling controversy, discussed without taking ourselves too seriously

Now listened to in 84 countries globally, Beyond The Box Art® has grown into a genuinely international community of scale modellers — our Benchmates.

Wherever you are, whatever you build and whatever your level of experience, pull up a chair and join us at the bench.

Models. Modellers. Meaning.
