THE NEWS OF THE COMPETITION

A while back, in 2006 to be exact, our club recieved the news of a competition to build a gaming table for Warhammer 40.000 from our retailer Land of Magic (which was its name at that time, it's called Carta Magica these days), so we immediately started working on ideas to put on the table. First, we had a ''brainstorming'' meeting where we all suggested various ideas for items that should go onto the table. After the list of all possible ideas was made, we decided which ones to use.

These were the following: - flowing water through a canal, - a force field (made by laser pointers going through fog/mist made by a fogger), - various street lights (both blinking and normal), - a spinning radar, - a landing pad (with running lights), - some vents to be put in an industrial part of the city, - also to make this part of the city appear more industrial we decided to put in the railroad tracks

Next step was to make blueprints of the table in such a manner that no special effect interferes with another. It is of vital importance when dealing with projects of such a magnitude to delegate and divide the work apropriately. Good organisation is crucial as well as setting strict deadlines, and abiding by them.

TABLE FRAME

Because of all the extra features on our table we had to make at least one part of the table higher to store all the SF mumbo-jumbo inside (like the power source, electronic circuits, water pump and fogger along with two separate water tanks). To build this higher part of the frame we used 40 x 95 mm wooden planks for sturdiness and durability. The cover was made from 5 mm thick plywood that was screwed to the planks so it could be removed (if necessary). We also made a drawer where we put all the electronic circuits and switches for all of the special effects. We also left room for a canal through which the water will flow.

WATER FEATURES

We decided to have two separate water features. One is a sewage canal coming from the factory. It consists of a water pump, hidden within the factory, a verical pipe that pumps the water into the canal. The water is dyed into green for even more repugnant effect. The other water feature is a fogger, a machine that converts water into fog and can be found in most stores dealing with lamps or garden decorations. The machine itself comes from a lamp that is made up of a bowl (that needs to be filled with water) inside which it is placed. We put the fogger underneath the city so the fog will appear to be rising from the sewers.

NOTE: When dealing with real water you must be carefull to insulate everything. Put lots of clear varnish over the terrain where the water will run. If there is even the smallest hole, water will find its way through.

IMPORTANT: It is really dangerous to put high voltage in or even near running water for obvious reasons so make sure that trained professionals do that part of the job. When you use lesser voltages (like 5V or 12V) such precautions are not necessary because of water's relatively low conductivity. This effect can be further reduced if you use distilled water whose conductivity is even lower than regular water's.

Water pump and canal

Fogger – Water tank and effect

ELECTRONICS

We decided to use the AT power unit from an old PC. The output voltages from the device were everything we needed, 220V AC, 24V DC, 12V DC and 5V DC. We used 220V AC to power the waterpump, 24V DC to power the fogger, 12V DC for different vents and electronic circuits with flashing and running LEDs and 5V DC for normal LEDs and servos. When we decided to use all those special effects we didn't realise how time consumig the process would be. More than half of the time spent on this project was spent on either research or engineering of these effects. So bear that in mind. However, internet helped a lot because almost all the circuits used on this project can be easily found there. Although the process was made up of a lot of trial-and-errors to make one circuit work we never wavered and it finally payed off.

IMPORTANT: Always have the device plugged out before you start working on electrical and electronic components!

TERRAIN FEATURES

Skyscraper

The skscraper itself is 70cm high. The base and the walls of the skyscraper were built from balsa wood while the windows were made form PVC see-through sheets cut into shape. When the inside of the tower was painted the side walls (PVC) were glued. Once everything was dry we cut holes in the windows and painted the rubble after which we added PVC bits as the broken glass. On the roof of the tower a small greenhouse was made to give a bit of life in the grim world of the City od Death...

Factory

The practical purpose for factory was to house the water tank and the pump. The building itself was built around the tank with one part of the roof built in such a way so it can easily be lifted for the water to be poured inside. Note the special engine that came from an old model car in scale 1:16. After the building itself was finished, some vents (which actually rotate and the LEDs beside them light up gradually and then dim also gradually) were placed on top and around it, just to give it a more industrial feel. There is one basin filled with resin as well as a significant ''chemical'' spillage in the place where the pipelines go underground which is also made from resin.

Warehouse and the railroad

To continue with the industrial feel of that part of the table we put some HO railroad tracks coming out of the factory and running all across the table. On the other side of the railroad tracks there is a loading terminal connected to a warehouse. The loads can be lifted from the carts onto the plateau with a crane which is also moveable. There is also a couple of LEDs which serve as street lights and one LED in the foreman's cabin inside the warehouse. The roof of the cabin can be lifted so you can play inside.

Houses with the McCragge shuttle

Moving along the table, we now come to the raised part of the table. On one side there are a couple of ruined houses and a statue. Houses were made from balsa wood and decorated by some bits from the Cities of Death sprues. The great thing about those bits is that they can be easily interchanged and also added to other materials used to build structures like balsa wood. Among the houses we placed the shot down shuttle from the Battle for McCragge box set. We made sure that the flight path goes through at least one building where it hits and deflects from the path to the left. Underneath those houses the before mentioned water tank with the fogger is concealed. We left holes under the shuttle for the fog to pass so it appears as if the shuttle just crashed.

Turrets

The design of the turrets was taken from Forge World. They are octagonal, two-storey concrete buildings with three firing slots per storey built exclusively from balsa wood. One of them also houses a servo motor which operates the searchlight on top of the turret. In it there are also three laser diodes which point across the street to the other turret creating a force field. Of course, untill you put your model in front of the laser beam you can not see it. And that is where the fogger comes into play! We built a small canal underneath the street where the fogger makes the fog. The fog is then lifted by a small concealed vent into the air right into the path of the laser beams, making them visible!

Statues and posters

To add a bit of personal touch and to make the city seem more ''Imperial'' we added some statues, namely one of a Steel Legion Lieutenant and one of a Comissar. Those really lift the entire table. What we also added to the buildings is some posters. But that was not enough for us. We asked ourselves what else do you find in a city? The answer was so obvious that we didn't see it for quite a while... Road signs! So we drew them on a PC, printed and glued them in logical places (on a walkway above the road).

Sentinel and the Predator

What kind of a battle torn city this would be if it didn't have any casualties? Therefore we sacrifised one Imperial Sentinel (slightly converted) and a Predator. The Predator was placed partly inside a building which collapsed around it. Extra care was taken in painting the interior of the Predator, and the back hatch is left moveable so you can actually hide your models inside!

Landing pad

Our landing pad also draws its idea from Forge World's one with the octagonal design. It was hand-made from scratch. Each of the six legs has 51 separate parts! It has 8 yellow LEDs and 4 times 7 red LEDs that have their own circuit which makes them apear as if running to the middle of the pad.

Cities of Death buildings

And finally we come to the Cities of Death buildings. We made three large buildings. One is a part of the factory exclusively made up of parts on the Manufactorium sprue. The other is a large complex that once served as a courthouse but is now a pile of rubble where the army moved in and made its HQ with a specially built landing pad and radar. This remnants of the courthouse were made of Sanctum Imperialis sprues. The third building was built from the Basilica Administratum sprues.

The great thing about Cities of Death sprues is its multiplicity. You can build as many different buildings as you like (or can afford). The painting is easy, even the beginners can paint it masterfully, just by using drybrush techniques in several shades. But the buildings really come alive if you add just a couple of details in another colour. Of course the parts are so intricate that you can easily spend a couple of hours painting and perfecting just one part of the building. It all depends on how much time and effort you are willing to put in.

EXTRA DETAILS

Wooden Boxes

These are easily made from 2 mm thin balsa wood sheets. Just cut the sides of the boxes (ours were 2x5cm, 2x3cm and 2,5x3cm), glue them together, draw lines into the balse to represent the planks and glue thin strips of card as metal reinforcements. You may even add small dressmaker's pins as rivets.

Lamp conversions

It is easy to convert the Cities of Death lamp posts with LEDs so that they actualy give light. Just remove the bottom part of the lamp, drill a hole through the lamp for the wires and attach the LEDs.

You must watch out not to connect the + and the – wires because you will short circuit the LED.

Metal plates, hatches and mesh

Metal plates can be easily made by using card cut into squares and glued onto the base repetively one beside another. When finished, just add dressmaker's pins as rivets. Hatches are also done with card. Just cut the hatch frame and both sides of the doors and glue together. You can also add pins as rivets. Mesh is done with plastic anti-mosquito nets found in most stores. It is easy to cut, form and glue and yet it gives excellent results.

Trussed metal constructions

Trussed constructions are a bit fidly to make but once finished they will be worth while. They are made from two strips of wood, one 2x2mm and the other 5x5mm while the length is up to you. You use the thicker ones for the frame and you put the smaller ones in between at a 45 degree angle to the frame. The finished product not only looks great but is also very sturdy and can withstand suprisingly big loads.

CONCLUSSION

To sum it all, this table contains over 15l of water, over 100m of cables and wires, weighs around 75kg (without the water), has 2,5m of walkways, over 10m of handmade trussed structures, a dozen various electronic circuits, 63 LEDs, 3 laser diodes, 6 working vents, 2 servo motors, a waterpump, a fogger, one factory, one skyscraper, one warehouse, a railroad terminal, 3 small buildings, 2 large buildings, 2 statues, 3 wrecks (tenk, sentinel and a shuttle), 2 turrets...

As you can see it is much more than the mere sum of its parts because over 1000 working hours after the initial sketches, the final product was before us.

	Vikend radionica bojanja minijatura održana je u subotu 13. i 14.09. u Kino dvorani ZZTK. Tema je bila korištenje kontras/speed paint boja na većem broju minijatura.

	

	Radionica se provodila kroz dva dana (cijeli vikend) i polaznici su bojili nekoliko (2-3) različitih figura koristeći Contrast boje za brzo bojanje minijatura. Fokus ovih predavanja bio je bojenje više minijatura odjednom, no znanja s radionice jednako su primjenjiva i na bojenje vojski za boardgame igre te kolekcija figura za pen&paper rpg-ove. Svaki polaznik je složio dvije do tri figure iz našeg fundusa, ali po prvi puta im je omogućeno i donođšenje vlastitih figura za rad na njima. Na radionici su bile predstavljene boje i pribor, priprema figura, nekoliko tehnika bojenja minijatura od osnovnih do naprednijih, te tehnike i trikovi za brzo i efikasno bojenje većih količina figura odjednom. U sklopu radionice bile su korištene akrilne boje na bazi vode s posebnom pažnjom posvećenom Contrast bojama. Predavanja su bila prilagođena tako da je voditelji posvetiti jednako vrijeme svim polaznicima i mogao se prilagoditi svim kategorijama minijaturista (od početnika do malo naprednijih).

	

	Radionica se odvijala na sljedeći način:

	Prvo, predavač sjedi za svojim stolom te objašnjava i demonstrira pojedini korak u bojanju minijature/makete na svojem primjerku. Njegov rad se preko kamere i projektora prikazuje na platnu što polaznici slušaju, gledaju, ali i postavljaju pitanja.

	Potom, polaznici primjenjuju stečeno znanje. Voditelj kruži između polaznika i provjerava kako svakom polazniku ide. Na taj način, može se prilagoditi svakom polazniku ponaosob.

	

	

	

	

	Radionica je uključivala sljedeće tematske cjeline:

	1. Planiranje i priprema te sastavljanje minijatura

	2. Obrada minijatura prije bojanja

	3. Stavljanje bazne boje (sprejanjem).

	4. Osnovni slojevi korištenjem Contrast boja

	5. Dodatno detaljiziranje i highlighti

	6. Naknadno podizanje gotovog paintjoba na višu razinu

	7. Baziranje minijatura

The main effects on the diorama will be LED lighting, but also the application of the tensegrity principle.

	  

	It's been a while since the last article. In the meantime, we've done the calculations for the electricity, but also confirmed the practical calculations. We decided on 6 circuits - each of which is powered by its own Cr2032 battery at 3V. In addition, we decided to create a parallel power supply for all circuits via a single transformer from 220 V AC to 3 V DC. The switch will determine which power supply is used. In theory, it sounds feasible, but it needs to be tested.

	  

	According to the sketch, the most loaded circuit is the one from the flying car, which has as many as 9 LEDs in it. Therefore, we put together a circuit with all nine LEDs on the test board - four blue, two white, two red and one green and connected everything to one Cr 2032 battery.

	  

	Everything worked so we decided to let them burn overnight. All the LEDs burned for about 10 hours. Which is satisfactory for group performances – because they will certainly burn for the duration of the performance. And for the exhibition, it will still be necessary to connect the diorama to a 220 V transformer.

Glavni efekti na diorami biti će LED rasvjeta, ali i primjena tensegrity principa.

	  

	Prošlo je dosta vremena od zadnjeg članka. U međuvremenu smo odradili proračune za struju, ali i potvrdili praktično proračune. Odlučili smo se na 6 strujnih krugova – svaki od kojih je pokretan svojom Cr2032 baterijom na 3V. Pored toga, odlučili smo da napravimo i paralelno napajanje svih strujnih krugova preko jednog transformatora sa 220 V izmjenično na 3 V istosmjerno. Prekidač će određivati koje napajanje se koristi. U teoriji zvuči izvedivo, ali potrebno je to i testirati.

	  

	Prema planu, najopterećeniji strujni krug je onaj iz letećeg auta koji u sebi ima čak 9 LEDica. Stoga smo na testnoj ploči složili strujni krug sa svih devet LEDica – četiri plave, dvije bijele, dvije crvene i jednom zelenom te sve spojili na jednu Cr 2032 bateriju.

	  

	Sve je radilo pa smo odlučili pustiti ih da gore preko noći. Sve LEDice su gorile cca 10 sati. Što je zadovoljavajuće za udružne nastupe – jer će sigurno gorjeti dok traje nastup. A za izložbu će ipak biti potrebno spojiti dioramu na transformator na 220 V.

	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 it is. A 0.00 is a perfect match. The closest one here is a 4.10 which is decent.

	 

	

	 

	The color tools also has another useful feature where you can upload any image and select any part of that image, and it provides you with the closest color match. Either from your own paints or all existing paint ranges (you can choose which paint brands you want it to show you).

	 

	

	 

	The last useful thing I want to mention about the paintRack app is something I only discovered recently, as I'm integrating more use of AI in my work and hobby. From the app you can export your library list of paints as a file. In my case I have all my paints registered in the app, so this provides me with an extensive list of all colors I have access to. This list I upload to an AI, and this lets me have a very useful conversation with it about color schemes and paint ideas.

	Evo malog savjeta za hobiste koji mi je u posljednje vrijeme bio koristan.

	To je aplikacija za telefon pod nazivom paintRack. 

	

	To je aplikacija napravljena posebno za naš hobi i ima mnogo korisnih značajki. 

	 

	Među tim značajkama je i Biblioteka u kojoj registriram svaku boju koju posjedujem i od koje marke boje. To mi daje dobar pregled i uvijek se mogu pozvati na to kada planiram projekt. 

	 

	Setovi su mjesto gdje zapisujem svoje sheme boja za različite projekte, tako da ću ih zapamtiti ako ih ikada budem morao ponovno reproducirati u budućnosti. 

	 

	

	 

	Alati za boje su moja najčešće korištena značajka. Ako postoji boja koju ne posjedujem i želim znati najbližu moguću boju unutar svojih boja, pronađem je i otvorim je u alatima za boje. Netko mi je preporučio Vallejo's Light Brown, ali budući da moja lokalna trgovina hobijima ne prodaje Vallejo, provjerim koja je druga boja, na primjer iz Citadel ili AK, bliska podudarnost. Značajka vam čak daje broj koji pokazuje koliko je blizu podudaranja. 0,00 je savršeno podudaranje. Najbliže ovdje je 4,10, što je pristojno.

	 

	

	 

	Alati za boje također imaju još jednu korisnu značajku gdje možete prenijeti bilo koju sliku i odabrati bilo koji dio te slike, a ona vam pruža najbliže podudaranje boja. Bilo iz vaših vlastitih boja ili svih postojećih raspona boja (možete odabrati koje marke boja želite da vam prikaže).

	 

	

	 

	Posljednja korisna stvar koju želim spomenuti o aplikaciji paintRack nešto je što sam tek nedavno otkrio, jer sve više integriram korištenje umjetne inteligencije u svoj posao i hobi. Iz aplikacije možete izvesti popis boja iz svoje biblioteke kao datoteku. U mom slučaju, sve moje boje su registrirane u aplikaciji, tako da mi to pruža opsežan popis svih boja kojima imam pristup. Ovaj popis prenosim na umjetnu inteligenciju, a to mi omogućuje vrlo koristan razgovor s njom o shemama boja i idejama za boje.

	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.

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	One of the museum's exhibits is a collection of tin soldier figures. In addition to individual figures and sets, there are also large dioramas of the Battle of Zusmarshausen in 1648, the Battle of Leuthen in 1757, and the Battle of Leipzig in 1813.

	Ovog ljeta Željko je posjetio Ingolstadt, a u njemu Bayerisches Armeemuseum prepun vojne povijesti (doduše sa kratkom rupom zbog poznatih razloga).

	  

	Bavarski vojni muzej u Ingolstadtu jedan je od najvećih muzeja vojne povijesti u Europi. Zbirke se usredotočuju na Bavarsku u njezinu europskom kontekstu i pokrivaju razdoblje od kasnog srednjeg vijeka do danas.

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	Jedan od postava muzeja je i zbirka figura kositrenih vojnika. Uz pojedinačne figure i setove prikazane su i velike diorame bitke kod Zusmarshausena 1648., bitke kod Leuthena 1757. i bitke kod Leipziga 1813. godine.
