    Today with the post arrived number two of this 3 month magazine.
    As I whas a little scared to buy number one I wasn't disappointed. So, the moment the announcement for number two came I immediately ordered a copy.

    Well, it come with a great bang on the doorstep.
    After a few hours I couldn't wait to open the carboard box where the magazine was hidden in.
    A outstanding picture of Pegaso Roaming Knight at the cover.
    So I don't had it anymore and go to my cave to explore this new magazine.

    First: Ernesto Reyes give's a great article with the Roaming Knight and did a SBS with awesome pictures how he tackeld that difficult but also great figure.

    Second: The Award winning model of Alexandre Cortina Bonastre with his Edward Teach. He gives inside information to paint with Humbrol, oil and printers ink.
    For me as oiladdict a great article.
    Third: Grigoris Marmatakis bring's the article about a WW 1 Stormtrooper in 1917 at the Western front. He build up a great trench with a skeleton and a great dirty up German Soldier.
    Fourth: Templar Knight 90 mm painted by Ernesto Reyes. Great article about building the figure and some tricks about filling the gaps.

    Fift: A new section: Masterclass Figure Gallery.

    Here some of Louis D'orio's award winning models come in a showcase where every figure is page filling. Outstanding pictures.
    Sixth and last article is from Massimo Pasquali who is giving us the in and outs about painting the Greek Merenary in the difficult color black.

    For me this is for us figure painters a TOP magazine. I'm so excited about it that i'm allready looking forward to number 3.
    I can only say it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, first about the quality of the figures, second the great articles.
