 by     Welcome to the incredible Bank Holiday Castle Painting Adventure. Introducing Robby's famous uncle Banky Van Daime the painter man!!     Armed only with a bucket of paint and a six inch pure bristle painting brush, Banky Van Daime sets out to make the most of the Bank Holiday and paint his exquisite castle.

Pero que su vuelta, puede ser una noticia destacable, es incuestionable. El próximo 3 de mayo, en RetroBarcelona y a las 17:00 h., será la presentación del regreso de MicroHobby en papel. De momento, no sabemos para cuando será el primer número ni si se podrá adquirir, directamente, en el kiosco de la "esquina" o vía internet, pero si podemos confirmar que vuelve con mucha fuerza y ganas. Estaremos atentos, a ver que nos dicen el sábado. Fuente: X
