We visited: Slovenian State Championship in plastic modelling, Ljubljana 19.11.2022.

Goran Krunić, 29th November 2022

On Saturday, 19.11.2022. in Ljubljana, the Slovenian National Championship in plastic modeling was held. Our delegation performed in several categories and we all returned with medals. In total, we won 2 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals.

In addition to the awards, which are always praise for the work, the most important thing was to meet again and talk with colleagues from other cities and countries such as Slovenia, Serbia and Italy.

Below is a photo gallery of the works. Unfortunately, the lighting was not gentle on our cameras, so many details of the model are not visible.

As always, our members chose the best work of our choice and this time we awarded Boštjan Rener for his fantastic diorama. You can almost hear the tires screeching!

As part of the ...

Xmas Squig

Marko Paunović, 29th November 2022

In this article I will describe the speed paint of the Christmas GW Squig figure. I decided not to apply primer/undercoat but to start with basecoats right away. First I put a mixture of brown and red.

Then I applied a black wash.

When the wash was dry, I started panting in the red shades on the squig and the goblin coat/cap.

Finished with an orange tone.

I first painted the white details with off-white paint, and made the highlights with pure white. I also painted the green skin as well as the yellow details.

I then painted the teeth, horns and cables brown with black/brown washes.

I painted the beard white with a gray wash. Then I did the remaining details like the medals..

At the end I did the lights and balls. I painted them in yellow, red, green and blue Tamiya Clear paint.

Xmas Baby Yoda

In this article I will describe the speed paint 3D printed figures of Grogu. I decided not to apply primer/undercoat but to start with basecoats right away. First I put a mixture of brown and red.

Then I applied a black wash.

When the wash was dry, I started putting in the red shades.

Finished with an orange tone.

I first painted the white details with off-white paint, and made the highlights with pure white.

I painted Grogu's skin olive green and then covered it with a black wash.

Finally, I painted the highlights on the skin...

... and I painted the eyes in black with a white dot for reflection.

We visited: Lucca Comics&Games 2022

Ana Polanšćak, 22nd November 2022

Lucca Comics&Games is one of the largest comics, games and fantasy fairs in Europe. It takes place every year at the end of October in the Tuscan city of Lucca.

Lucca has perfectly preserved city walls from the Renaissance era that stretch around the old city center, and the Lucca Comics&Games fair occupies that entire space for several days. The streets were incredibly crowded from the first day (the number of daily visitors exceeded the local population many times over), so seeing the local sights was an impossible mission. The city was great to see on a normal weekend and visit the old churches, and the Torre Guinigi - a 45 meter tall tower topped with trees.

I visited the fair as a guest of the Italian publisher of comics and games Hollow Press, who presented several new projects there; among others the boardgame Boneforest, for which I did the painting and photography of demonstration figures.

Hollow Press also published a new book by John Bl...
