    I don't know of any that still exist in print now.

    The aforementioned "Figure Painter Magazine" is an online publication and is very heavily biased towards fantasy. Which is fine if fantasy is your thing, but not so much if you're into military/historical.

    I'd forgotten about Mr. Black!

    Marc is Soldatini still going in print, or is it just online now?

    The Italian magazine "Soldatini" is in print only in the Italian version

    It is in the online version in English and Italian.

    On paper do not know what the best .. on line definitely are all the forums where you can compare yourself and learn different techniques and styles

    Not sure if it is still in print but my all time fav was Figurines from France. Unlike some other mags which seem to focus exclusively on acrylic painting, Figurines was always crammed pack with info on acrylics, enamels and most importantly for me OILS. In addition just like Soldatini (my 2nd fav), there was plenty of uniform reference articles. Too bad they did not try an English version like Soldatini.

    Hi

    In Print, "Figurines" (which I hunderstand will start publishing again in the near future) is superb and many back issues are still available - beware it has only ever been published in French. "Military Modelling" is increasing it's figure conjtent.

    Online magazines which I enjoy are "Figure Painter" - good technical content but, as already pointed out, had a leaning towards fantasy. Soldatini International in English is also a good read and some of the specials are excellent.

    Hope this helps somewhat.

    Cheers
