As some of you might know, FPM was discontinued after issue 51. However, all issues are available to download for free. Also there is still new content comming to the social media sites, but just not in magazine format anymore.

Hi Everyone,
It with sadness that I have decided to stop producing Figure Painter Magazine and Initiative Magazine. With the growing popularity of other media and people self publishing, coupled with the UK’s economic uncertainty, both magazine have steadily become unviable publications over the last year. So, I have taken the decision to stop them. Our servers will be turned off soon and the magazines will be removed from sale, so if you want them before they disappear, now is the time.

But fear not, we are not disappearing. We are keeping the social media pages going and we’ll continue to share with you the best examples our hobbies has to offer as well as the most up-to-date news from the hobby and we’ll also be publishing some new articles, review and tutorials directly on our social media pages, which have some of the greatest number of followers this hobby has, so more people can read them for free.

I would like to thank everyone who read the magazines while they were being produced, their support kept us going since 2013 and keep an eye out for new projects from the FPM and IM teams coming in the future.

This is an offer simply too good to ignore so share the hell out of this post. All back issues of FPM free to all modellers anywhere in the world! FPM made friends all over the world and we feel its the least we can do to try and encourage our friends to stay at home and to relieve some of the boredom if you are in lockdown. We are a universal family who speak a language few outside of our hobby understand but what draws us together is a shared passion and a lot of care for our community.
