Seb's Top Tip - paintRack app

Sebastian Søgård, 7th August 2025
Here's a little tip for hobbyists that have been useful for me lately.

It's a phone app called paintRack.

It's an app made specifically for our hobby, and has many useful features. 
 
Among these features are the Library where I register every paint color I own and from which paint brand. This gives me a good overview and I can always refer to it when I'm planning a project. 
 
Sets is where I write down my color schemes for different projects, so I'll remember them if I ever have to reproduce them again in the future.

Color tools is my most used feature. If there's a paint I don't own and I want to know the closest color possible within my paints, I find it and open it in color tools. Someone recommended me Vallejo's Light Brown, but since my local hobby shop doesn't sell Vallejo, I check which other color from for example Citadel or AK is a close match. The feature even provides you with a number showing how close of a match i...

WE VISITED: Bayerisches Armeemuseum in Ingolstadt

Krunoslav Belinić, 7th August 2025

This summer, Željko visited Ingolstadt, and its Bayerisches Armeemuseum is full of military history (albeit with a short gap for obvious reasons).

The Bavarian Military Museum in Ingolstadt is one of the largest military history museums in Europe. The collections focus on Bavaria in its European context and cover the period from the late Middle Ages to the present day.

March to Hren28 – Armies by UMS Agram members

Marko Paunović, 6th August 2025

Over the past few months, our team has been preparing for the Turnip28 invitational event called H.R.E.N.28 in Slovenia in July. Since the event was a success, we owe you photos of the armies that Mario, Domagoj, Seb and Antoni assembled and painted while we followed them on their journey!

MARIO: „Hugo the tiny, first captain of the Crow knights was maybe born small, but that didn't stop him from having great dreams. After the taming of the swamp bird, he now reigns over his underlings in despite of the jokes the warband tells of the "Tiny stout". He follows Boletus on his quest, but always biding his time for an inevitable coup. The model is based on a "fat knight" 3D print, which is scaled to around 30-ish%. The bird is a plastic stork toy with an added head from a toy pteranodon a friend found on a floor of a Con in Zagreb. The toilet is just a natural progression of the idea.

Followers of the cult of the roaming Proboscis and Boletus' vision. They, along with t...

MARIO: “ I was delighted with the imagination, effort and goodwill of the organizers. I met new and familiar good people, I think that is the best part of such events. Conversations with artistic passion are always inspiring and I will remember them for a long time. The game itself is very fun (I came with very little experience) and with the help of other players I think I picked up a lot. The terrains and scenarios are the stars of the event with their diversity, and the icing on the cake was the Sunday game Dredge28 designed by Vane, which turned out to be very chaotic and fun (I guess I am a "cannon guy", when it comes to ships). “

Agram Group Build #Project2 – part 4.

Krunoslav Belinić, 24th July 2025

From 2021, the Association also organizes group projects for its members in which several members participate at once. The program called Agram Group Build was created after our members discussed joint projects on Wednesdays and how it would be convenient to gather more people on Wednesdays at our Hobby corner to work on a common "something"... #Project2 presents a dieselpunk diorama of a flying island with a fast food stand and several docks for flying cars, and the wonderful art of Alejandro Burdisi serves as a template. The main effects on the diorama will be LED lighting, but also the application of the tensegrity principle.

As we announced last time, we started checking the electronic components. Dunja brought us micro LEDs in various colors: cool and warm white, green, red and blue. The first step was to see how to connect the LEDs to the power supply. Unfortunately, it was not successful, because obviously LEDs of different colors use different voltages and cons...
