Hiya fellow Benchmates,
This episode we're heading into something pretty special — the 48 in 48 global charity build, where modellers from around the world unite for forty-eight hours of creativity, community, and building hope in scale for Models for Heroes.

We're joined by Steff Keighley and James Skiffins, who take us behind the scenes of the event — how it started, what makes it tick, and why this incredible weekend has become such a powerful force within the modelling community. From live builds and auctions to merch and community spirit, this is modelling with real purpose.

Then things get seriously interesting as we sit down with the Ma.K master himself — Lincoln Wright. This isn't your typical interview. We dive deep into Maschinen Krieger philosophy, artistic mindset, creative process, and what it really means to push modelling beyond instructions, beyond expectations… and sometimes beyond comfort zones.

✦ Stash Inflation Report — the new releases quietly plotting against your wallet

So… clear a space on your bench, put your feet up, grab a brew —
