    Episode 27 - Rob Riviezzo & Spencer Pollard
    Apr 23 2026
    Beyond The Box Art® — Episode 27 The Hobby Today - an in depth discussion with Rob Riviezzo & Spencer Pollard

    Hiya Benchmates — Episode 27 has landed, and this one brings together two hugely respected voices from opposite sides of the Atlantic.

    Joining us for this episode is the return of co-host Spencer Pollard alongside Rob Riviezzo for what became a fascinating, funny, and surprisingly wide-ranging discussion about the hobby today.

    From the way the hobby has changed, to the differences between the UK and US modelling scenes, to where scale modelling is heading next — this is one of those conversations that could probably have gone on for another three hours.

    🎙️ Feature Discussion — Rob Riviezzo & Spencer Pollard

    In this episode, Rob and Spencer join Brownie for a genuinely transatlantic conversation on all corners of the hobby.

    We explore:

    • How the hobby has changed over the years
    • Mental health & the influence of social media, YouTube, and online communities
    • Whether modern kits are making modelling easier — or more complicated
    • The rise of aftermarket, 3D printing, and premium accessories
    • Why people build models — and what keeps us all coming back to the bench
    • and much much more...

    Despite being known for very different areas of the hobby, Rob and Spencer found themselves agreeing on far more than ANYONE expected!

    ⭐ IPMS Dispatches

    We continue our regular IPMS Dispatches feature with a chat about IPMS Middleton Cheney, the local club scene, and some very different themes for there annual displays - and they don't have alchol at there branch meetings... They have cake!

    ⭐ Stash Inflation Report

    As always, we bring you the latest kit announcements, new releases, aftermarket updates, and all the temptations likely to be heading towards your stash in the weeks ahead.

    ⭐ Plus All the Normal Banter

    Alongside the feature discussion, there is plenty of the usual Beyond The Box Art® banter, bench chat, laughs, and the sort of meandering modelling conversation that only seems to happen when Benchmates get together.

    If you enjoy hearing passionate modellers talking honestly about the hobby — where it is today and where it may be going tomorrow — then this is an episode you do not want to miss.

    So… clear a space on your bench, line up the sprues, grab a brew…

    BTBA Episode 27 starts NOW!
