  Last year, after participating in the Black Queen H&MPC 2024, our friends from Hungary, Gabor and Erika, asked me if I would be willing to judge at the Mosonshow 2025. I must admit that the question caught me off guard, I did not expect such an honor. I accepted in principle, considering that the competition itself was quite far away at that time.
  
  	  
  
  
  As you can see in the photo, I accepted and headed to Hungary on the last weekend in April. This is my first time participating in this big competition and I have to admit that I wasn't really attracted to it before – precisely because of its size. Long waiting lines, endless lines at registration and the like are really something that didn't make me happy. After a little bit of asking around, I came up with a plan to come on Friday (I even took a day off for this) as soon as the doors opened and to do the registration and set up of the models (in categories that I don't judge, right :D ) so that on Saturday I could deal with the competition in peace.
  
  
  
  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  
  Saturday started, as I expected, with work. Being a judge, although "prestigious", is not a fun activity at all. Count on a good part of your Saturday being taken up by duties. First there is a judges' meeting where the organizer introduces us to the criteria and method of judging they want. After more or less questions, the meeting ends and (fortunately) there is a meal prepared for the judges. And the organizer realizes that it is better for the judges to be satisfied, or at least full. After the reception, we head to the judging. On the spot, you meet the members of the jury whom you will be judging with. There are two category ranks. Hobby and Master. I judged three Hobby categories (Fantasy/SF figures, Fantasy/SF busts and Fantasy/SF dioramas and vignettes). Alongside me in the jury for these categories, there were Eszter Elek from Hungary and Keigo Murakami from Japan. The judging lasted until about 4 pm. That meant I missed the workshops I wanted to visit - but that is the price of judging.
  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  
  During the judging, I also decided to award the Best of Show by UMS Agram award which went to Mr. Zijie Li in China.
  
  	  
  
  
  The following is a gallery of some of the more notable works from the miniatures category.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  
  Of course, at this huge competition, with over 2,500 exhibits, it was impossible to photograph everything, and below are some of the author's more interesting works.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  
  Besides the handful of truly beautiful entries, the best part of the competition was, as always, the social aspect. Socializing with foreign friends and making new friends is the highlight of such competitions.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  
  Finally, there was some shopping, and the Bolyai Makett Klub from Budapest made sure I didn't leave empty-handed. Thank you!!

  Tijekom prošle godine, nakon sudjelovanja na Black Queen H&MPC 2024. naši prijatelji iz Mađarske, Gabor i Erika, su me upitali da li bih bio voljan suditi na Mosonshow-u 2025. Moram priznati da me pitanje zateklo, takvu čast nisam očekivao. Načelno sam prihvatio, s obzirom da je samo natjecanje bilo dosta udaljeno u tom trenutku. 
  
  	  
  
  
  Kao što vidite na fotografiji, prihvatio sam te sam se zadnjeg vikenda u travnju uputio prema Mađarskoj. Ovo je prvi puta da sudjelujem na tom velikom natjecanju i moram priznati da me prije nije baš privlačilo – upravo zbog svoje veličine. Dugi redovi za čekanje, nepregledne kolone pri registraciji i slično stvarno je nešto što me nije veselilo. Nakon malo raspitivanja što i kako, skovao sam plan da dođem u petak (uzeo i godišnji zbog toga) čim otvore vrata i da odradim registraciju i postavljanje modela (u kategorije koje ne sudim, jel :D ) tako da se u subotu mogu u miru baviti sa natjecanjem.
  
  
  
  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  
  Subota je počela, kako sam i očekivao, radno. Biti sudac, iako „prestižno“, nije nimalo zabavna aktivnost. Računajte da vam dobar dio subote otpada na dužnosti. Prvo ide sudački sastanak na kojem nas organizator upoznaje sa kriterijem i načinom suđenja koji želi. Nakon više ili manje pitanja, sastanak završava i (na svu sreću) slijedi gablec za suce. I organizator shvaća da je bolje da suci budu zadovoljni, ili barem siti. Nakon gableca, upućujemo se na suđenje. Na licu mjesta upoznajete članove žirija s kojima sudite. Postoje dva ranga kategorija. Hobby i Master. Ja sam sudio tri Hobby kategorije (Fantasy/SF figure, Fantasy/SF biste i Fantasy/SF diorame i vinjete). Pored moje malenkosti u žiriju za ove kategorije bili su Eszter Elek iz Mađarske te Keigo Murakami iz Japana. Suđenje je trajalo do cca 16h. Time sam propustio radionice koje sam htio posjetiti – ali to je cijena suđenja. 
  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  
  Tijekom suđenja, odlučio sam dodijeliti i Best of Show by UMS Agram nagradu koja je otišla u ruke gospodinu Zijie Li-u u Kinu. 
  
  	  
  
  
  Slijedi galerija nekih zapaženijih radova iz kategorija minijatura. 
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  
  Naravno, na ovom golemom natjecanju, sa preko 2500 izložaka bilo je nemoguće sve fotografirati, a u nastavku slijede neki od autoru zanimljivijih radova. 
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  
  Pored pregršt usitinu predivnih radova, najbolji dio natjecanja bio je kao i uvijek društveni aspekt. Druženje s inozemnim prijateljima te stjecanje novih prijateljstava vrhunac su ovakvih natjecanja. 
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  
  Za kraj, bilo je tu i shoppinga, a da ne odem praznih ruku, pobrinuo se Bolyai Makett Klub iz Budimpešte. Hvala!!

  	MARIO: „My next step was working on Proboscis, I wanted to add some texture to it so I sculpted his fur from brown stuff, along with a textured mass of mud on his back. I wanted to achieve the effect of overgrown plants and mushrooms on the skin. I also finished the existing trunks and added another pair.“
  
  	  
  
  	SEB: „Over the past week I have continued work on the conversion of the cannon Snail Knight.
  
  	  
  
  	I added Liquid Green Stuff (from GSW) to the metal parts (the paperclip) and then sponged it on to get a rust plus algae effect so that the overall impression was: they just came out of the water.
  
  	  
  
  	Today I added textures to the base.
  
  	  
  
  	And to end this part of the army building, before my trip to England/Scotland, here's a close-up of the snails pulling the cart. The rest will follow at the end of May, as far as I'm concerned!

  	MARIO: „Moj sljedeći korak je bio rad na Proboscisu, želio sam mu dodati teksture pa sam mu kipario krzno od brown stuffa, zajedno sa teksturnom masom blata na leđima. Želim postići efekt obraslog bilja i gljiva na koži. Ujedno sam doradio postojeće surle i dodao još jedan par.
  
  	  
  
  	SEB: „U proteklom tjednu nastavio sam rad na konverziji topovskog Snail Knighta.
  
  	  
  
  	Na metalne dijelove (spajalicu) sam dodao Liquid Green Stuff (od GSW-a) i onda ga stipplao spužvicom da dobijem efekt hrđe plus algi kako bi cjelokupni dojam bio: upravo su izašli iz vode.
  
  	  
  
  	Danas sam dodao teksture po bazi.
  
  	  
  
  	I za kraj ovog dijela izrade vojske, prije mog puta u Englesku/Škotsku, evo jedan close-up puževa koji vuku zapregu. Nastavak slijedi krajem svibnja, što se mene tiče!“
