UMS "Agram" : SCATTER TERRAIN FOR A WILD WEST GAMING BOARD < Articles < Hobby

SCATTER TERRAIN FOR A WILD WEST GAMING BOARD

Marko Paunović, 11th September 2020

Having built a decent number of bigger, „feature“ gaming terrain for my Wild West gaming board for Malifaux, I've decided I now need a lot of smaller terrain that will add some fun to the games. Bigger terrain will create the atmosphere, while the smaller ones will provide many gaming options, such as hard and soft cover, rough terrain, woods and provide additional challenges and opportunities to any player to further enhance the gaming experience.

Idea and planning

The basic outline of each of these terrain is pretty straightforward and simple. After a couple of days planning, I've decided what terrain I'll need to have a complete and versatile board that will provide gamers with plenty of atmosphere and challenge during their games. In this article, I'll cover the following subjects: forests, outhouse, well, town entrance, fences, rough terrain, a wooden crate and a metal coal container.

I'll build four forests roughly 15 x 15 cm in size. To tie them in with the rest of the scenery I've already built, they'll be pine forests. I'll also build four pieces of rough terrain varying in size from really small ones 5 x 5 cm to a slightly larger one 10 x 15 cm. The idea behind these is that, although they hinder movement, they do not allow any cover. A nuisance on the battlefield, really.

I'll also be making four 1,5 x 10 cm fences and a 20 x 5 cm western town entrance. Fences will provide soft cover in my Malifaux games as well as impede movement a bit.

Next, I'll be building several smaller pieces of terrain: an outhouse (because what is a western town without at least one outhouse) and a wooden well. These smaller pieces would provide hard cover and provide hinderance in movement and in line of sight. To finish this issue's build, I'll be adding some containers. One will be a metal container for coal and the other will be simple wooden crate. Both will be slightly bigger than one would expect, but I've decided to go down that road because I want these to provide enough space for the models to be placed on top of them should the player wish to.

Materials and tools

Once I've had most of the design ready, I could finally make a list of tools and materials needed. For this project I will need the following materials:
- one 5x5 mm linden slat (it comes in 1 m length)
- roughly one plank of 2 mm balsa wood (they come in 10 x 100 cm planks)
- roughly half a plank of 5 mm balsa wood
- a small piece of 5cm thick HD styrofoam
- about 50x30 cm piece of 4mm thick MDF board
- superglue
- PVA glue
- gravel (at least three sizes)
- static grass / tufts
- sanding paper (1 sheet)
- plasticard (0,75 mm thick, one sheet 20x30cm)
- masking tape
- office pins
- slate
- roots and twigs
- pine/fir trees
- Siligum (one package)
- plaster

The tools needed are:
- scalpel blade
- marker pen
- modelling saw
- pin vice (or an electric mini drill)
- brushes – various sizes – for painting/washing and for drybrushing
- pliers and pincers
- icepick
- plastic glue, PVA glue and superglue
- black primer spray
- electric jigsaw*
- electric disc sander*

* I will be using my Proxxon disc sander and jigsaw on the MDF to make the bases. However, the bases can be cut with hand held tools such as modeller's saw and be sanded down with sanding paper. It'll only require a bit more time and strength.

Building the bases

After drawing the rough outlines of my bases on the MDF board with a marker pen, I proceeded to cut it with my jigsaw. When the rough shapes, squares, were done, I drew the exact shapes of my terrain pieces on the MDF bases and again using the jigsaw I cut them to size. Once the cutting was done, I chamfered the base edges with my disc sander. This will ensure a nice transition between the table and the base of the terrain.

After the basic shapings of my terrain were done, I now had to distribute various scenic elements on the bases. This meant getting out my stash of fir/pine trees and pieces of slate I use for my terrain. Slate is an incredible type of stone which allows you to shape it without any effort (or at least with only minimum effort). It's built from many parallel layers that can be peeled off and when the stone's thickness is reduced enough it can even be broken with hands. This is especially useful in smaller scenic pieces such as bases for the miniatures themselves. If you are careful enough, you can even drill through it so you can even pin your models to the stones and subsequently to their bases as well. Other great thing is that the mountain right next to the city I live in is made of slate so it's really handy to get by. One other thing I discovered while hiking is that the forest usually has some upturned trees. These, obviously, have their roots out and these in turn look great as dried trees on your bases and even terrain which I'll demonstrate later on in this article. But for now, we'll turn to the slate. Before you use the slate pieces on your bases/terrain, I suggest washing them down with a hose (something I suggest you do with the roots as well) and dry them in the sun. First, you'll remove the dust of the stones which will prevent the stone (or root) from fully adhering to the surface of the base, but also the paint won't peel or fall off the stones. Second, and more important, the stones and roots coming from a forest, might contain some germs and other filth, even cause mouse fever so it's really important to wash them thouroughly. After washing, leave to dry slowly on the sun. Remember to always wash your hands thouroughly after handling the unwashed slate and roots! Also, if you have handy, use protective gloves when possible. With the slate now dry, I could place them and the fir/pine trees on my bases and dry-fit them to find a suitable size and pattern. Once I was satisfied with the placement, using PVA glue, I glued the pieces of slate to the bases in appropriate places. The trees were grouped according to the bases they would eventually be placed on and marked carefully (both the trees and the bases) so there would be no confusion later on. The trees I used are NOCH trees that come in a bag of 50 and cost about 40 USD (NOCH is a German model train accessories manufacturer). I removed the trunks of the trees and glued them to the bases. This will enable easier painting of the terrain and once the painting is done, I'll simply glue the rest of the trees back in their respective trunks.

Town Entrance

Once the glue on the tree trunks and small pieces of slate was dry, I could now turn myself to building the town entrance. At first I wanted to make it from man-carved wooden beams but looking at my roots and twigs stash, I found three twigs that were perfect for the Old West look I was after. Using my pin-vice, I drilled two holes in appropriate places on the base. I used a drill bit that was roughly the size of the office pin I was about to use as a pin. However, threading the pin through the bottom of the base would mean that the pin head would stick from the bottom and make the entire terrain wobbly. To prevent that from happening, I used a larger drill bit and just made a small insertion just big enough to house the entire pin head. Using superglue I glued the two Y-shaped twigs in place and connected them with a straight twig. Then I cut several 5 mm wide balsa pieces (about 7 cm long) and made the town sign.

Fences

Same as with the town entrance, I drilled two holes per fence base to enable the pinning of the fence posts. Using 5 x 5 mm linden slat I made 8 fence posts (2 per base) which I chamfered along each edge to get a worn look. I pinned and glued the fence posts using superglue. Then I cut eight strips of 2 mm thick balsa wood (same as used on the town sign) roughly 12 cm in length and had their edges chamfered with the scalpel blade. Again, using superglue I glued them in place, two per fence. Intentionally, I didn't glue them perfectly aligned to acchieve that worn look.

Outhouse

Next up was the outhouse. Using 2 mm thick balsa wood, I cut the four walls and a roof in desired sizes (written on the sketch during the design phase). I glued the wall pieces on the appropriate base with superglue. NOTE: All the wooden bits could be glued with PVA glue, but the PVA glue sets a lot longer so I opted for this quicker method. Once the structure was in place, I decided to add individual planks to the outer walls. This would make the worn effect even more highlighted. I cut individual planks at about 3 – 4 mm wide. When the walls were done, I spreyed the black primer inside – because the door would be slightly ajar and the inside would be visible if not painted. When the primer was dry, I glued the roof in place and made a small hole on the door.

Well

I've decided not to make the well out of individual planks like the outhouse, but rather to use engraved balsa wood to mimic the wooden walls of the well. The vertical beams were once again made from linden slats to provide the whole well some structural integrity. The roof was once again made from 2 mm thick balsa wood.

Crate

Just like the well, I used engraved balsa wood to make the sides of the crate. I glued the sides using superglue. The frame of the crate was done with balsa cut to size and I even added rivets using office pins. Since my crate was big enough to fit entire office pins, I didn't cut them. If you build smaller crates, then before sticking the pins, you should cut them to size first.

Making multiple crates

Once the crate was done, I decided to make a mould out of it. To make moulds I usually use Siligum. Siligum is a two component mix that once combined sets in 10 minutes and forms a rubbery supstance great for making molds. It comes in 100 g and 300 g packages. It is similar to green stuff in how it's gnawed to make the end product. Once the mould was done, I mixed some plaster of paris and poured it in my mould. About half an hour later, I had my first cast.

Coal Container

Coal container was made from 0,75 mm thick plasticard. Plasticard at this thickness is really easy to cut, but it does lack some structural strength. It bends quite a bit. For that reason, I cut some HD styrofoam to fit inside the plasticard frame and hold it in place. To glue the plasticard I used Revell plastic cement. When the frame was dry, I used the same thickness plasticard to add the detailing to the sides. The rivets were made from blobs of PVA glue. The inside of the container was covered with PVA glue and the largest pebbles were placed inside to represent coal once painted.

Adding texture

Next step on the bases was to add texture. I covered everything with diluted PVA glue and started adding the gravel. Remember, start with the biggest granulate and end with the smallest. I used three different sizes, from small pebbles to chinchilla sand. The larger pebbles and gravel I placed strategicly around the bases to form some clutter. The two smallest granulates were freely dispersed throughout the terrain making sure I get even coverage throughout and no area is left without texture. I also used chinchilla sand to mark the road (on the town entrance piece) and the paths (on the outhouse and through the forests) just to add some diversity. When the texture was dry, I undercoated everything in black matt primer.

Painting

When the undercoat was dry, it was time to paint all the terrain. I started painting the bases first. Wanting all my terrain to fit one theme (and consequently one tabletop) it was only natural I use the same colours and colour scheme as on the earlier pieces. Therefore once again, I used Pebeo Deco color range. I used Brown (29) for the basecoat and continued drybrushing with Ocre (51). Lighter shades were done with a 50:50 mixture of Ocre (51) and White (41). The final highlight was done with Antique White (69). The road and paths were first basecoated with Brown (29) then heavily drybrushed with Ocre (51) and a 50:50 mixture of Ocre (51) and White (41). The last two highlights were Antique White (69) and pure White (41). This way, I had a visual difference between the normal groundwork and the worn out road.

The slate was painted by drybrushing a 50:50 mixture of Black (55) and Grey (54). Next layer was pure Grey (54) and the finishing highlight was pure White (41).

The buildings and structures have two different surfaces and consequently textures – roof and wooden walls. I proceeded to paint the wooden walls by drybrushing first using a 50:50 mixture of Black (55) and Grey (54). Next layer was pure Grey (54) and the finishing highlight was Ash Brown (70). I was not quite satisfied with the result, so I added another highlight of pure White (41). The roof was painted first with a mixture of Black (55) and Grey (54) and then a mixture of Grey (54) and Antique White (69) finishing with almost a pure coat of Antique White (69).

The wooden parts of the town entrance were covered using masking tape to prevent any paint from reaching it as the dried wood (from the roots) provided a good enough effect. Once the rest of the base was painted, I removed the masking tape and washed the balsa sign with a diluted mixture of black wash just to stain it a bit. When the wash was dry, I wrote Malifaux on the sign.

Metal coal containter was painted pure (old Citadel) Boltgun Metal. When the paint was dry, it was then covered generously with black wash (Nuln Oil, in this case). Once the wash was dry, I used Model Mates' Rust Effect on the metal bits and in the end I put Model Mates' Soot Black effect to mimic the coal residue on the metal parts. The coal inside was painted black with some dark grey highlights.

Vegetation

After the painting, it was time to add the vegetation to the bases. First up, I decided to re-plant my pine trees. Using superglue to fix the trees in place, I simply guided the wire on the bottom of the trees into the small hole of the plastic tree trunk. Before gluing, I made sure that the trees fit their trunks by doing a quick mock-up of the assembly.

With the trees in place, I could now add the static grass. I made a mixture using several green, brown, yellow and black shades of static grass and when I was satisfied with the end product, I glued it in random patches throughout the bases. One thing I made sure of is that I put static grass over any and all of the remaining holes where the wooden structures met their bases in order to hide the unintentional mistakes. Once the static grass was in place, I applied several shades of different tufts. Again, as in the former articles, I used tufts made by a Portuguese company called Gamer's Grass that is also available in USA.

For the forest and the rough terrain, I added some longer static grass bits as well as some pieces of wood (twigs, roots and whatnot from my forest hike). This will provide sufficient semblance of the rough terrain or forest floor without unnecessary hindrance of movement during gaming. This marked the end of the building process and I could now make my final shots of the finished terrain.

The year 2025 has also come to an end, in which, in addition to the traditional programs, we created a series of our own miniatures for the first time, published the first book in English, and also made our own miniatures for awards for our Black Queen in 2026! In cooperation with Algebra Bernays University, two of their students, Jana Pahel and Monika Bešenić, designed Agramer figures according to our design, which we already used this year in our Back to Basics workshops. In addition to these miniatures, for the needs of our miniature painting competition, Black Queen H&MPC also created a bust and a 75mm and 120mm miniature of Barbara Celjska, known in these parts as the Black Queen. Read about all that below.

A G R A M E R S

In September, at the Days of Technical Culture, we presented our Agrameri miniature line for the first time. It consists of six miniatures depicting a dragon, a knight, a barbarian, a princess, a king and a wizard..

But let's go back to the beginning of the year, which, like every year, began with our traditional Exhibition...

E X H I B I T I O N O F M I N I A T U R E S A N D T A B L E T O P S C E N E R Y A G R A M 2 0 2 5

We started the year with preparations for our annual Exhibition of Miniatures and Tabletop Scenery, during which we also organized a weekend miniature painting workshop and, for the fifth time this term, our international miniature painting competition, the Black Queen Hobby and Miniature Painting Competition..

The Exhibition of Miniatures and Tabletop Scenery "Agram 2025" took place this year from 20.2. to 9.03. The exhibition was set up on Wednesday 19.2. in the afternoon and was attended by a large number of members and friends of the Association who exhibited their works.

As always, the Exhibition presented a cross-section of the work of the Association, its members, participants of its courses and workshops, and members of the Miniature Painters Croatia FB group. A large number of showcases contained numerous miniatures for tabletop strategy games, board games, and an entire showcase was dedicated to award-winning exhibits from previous miniature competitions. Several showcases were dedicated to projects that the Association has been implementing for 21 years, such as the UMS “Agram” Library and Reading Room, the Workshop for Making Spatial Models, and the Miniature Painting Workshop.

During the first weekend of the Exhibition, 22-23 February, we held the 19th annual international miniature painting competition, the Black Queen Hobby and Miniature Painting Competition. !

As contestants arrived and registered for the competition, our hardworking staff photographed all the exhibits before sorting them into categories and carefully placing them in glass cases.

WARGAMING DEMO GAMES

This year, organized by our friends from Slovenia from the Amulet D20 club, demonstrations of the tabletop strategy game Turnip28 were held. Over the course of both days, a handful of games were played on beautiful terrain!

SALE CORNER

During the weekend we hosted our sponsors with their sales stands: Swood.si and Carta Magica.

MINIATURE PAINTING DEMONSTRATIONS

The ZZTK space allows workshops to be held during the weekend in the cinema hall in the basement, so we also organized demonstration workshops during the weekend. The work of the lecturers was recorded with a camera and projected onto the projection screen in the hall. Many thanks to our domestic and foreign lecturers: Ana Polanšćak (CRO), Vladimir Matić-Kuriljev (SRB), Luka Jaret and Vanet Dolenc (SLO), doc.dr.sc. Winton Afrić (CRO) and Marcello Rizza (I).

SPEED PAINTING CONTEST

On Sunday afternoon, a miniature speed painting competition was held. Participants had 90 minutes to paint one miniature. Thanks to our sponsor Hobby Chest, who provided us with a large donation of painting materials from AK Interactive, we organized a miniature speed painting competition according to the following rules:

- competitors have 90 minutes to paint a miniature

- all competitors paint the same (same type) miniature

- we provided paints from AK Interactive

- we provided brushes from AK Interactive.

With that, we came to the very end of this wonderful weekend and all that remained was the distribution of prizes and awards to the winners.

BACK TO BASICS WORKSHOPS FOR KIDS

On weekdays from 17:00 to 18:00 we held our new workshops for the youngest, in which our youngest participants painted their first miniatures..

OPEN MINIATURE PAINTING WORKSHOPS

Over the next two weeks, our volunteers held open miniature painting workshops on weekdays from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Miniature painting workstations were set up where our visitors could paint miniatures we had prepared (or their own if they had brought them) using our materials and tools.

U srijedu 05.03.2025. održana je godišnja sjednica Skupštine na kojoj smo odredili smjernice rada u 2025..

W E E K E N D M I N I A T U R E P A I N T I N G W O R K S H O P S

During the second weekend of the Exhibition, March 1-2, we organized a MINITURE PAINTING WORKSHOP – Frostgrave.

The workshop was held over two days (the whole weekend) and participants painted five different figures for the Frostgrave game, which can also be used for DND sessions. The focus of these lectures was painting several miniatures at once, but the knowledge from the workshop is equally applicable to painting armies for boardgames and a collection of figures for pen&paper rpgs. The workshop presented paints and accessories, preparation of figures, several techniques for coloring miniatures from basic to more advanced, and techniques and tricks for quickly and efficiently coloring large quantities of figures at once. As part of the workshop, water-based acrylic paints were used.

During the weekend, 17-18.05., we organized a MINITURE PAINTING WORKSHOP – Kitbashing and Converting.

The workshop was conducted over two days (a whole weekend) and focused on making two (up to three) of their own miniatures from various parts (several different miniatures) with the addition of modeling the parts using modeling clay (Green Stuff). It consisted of two parts, a theoretical and a practical part. During the workshop, participants were introduced to tools, materials and techniques for performing simple and complex conversions, including the use of modeling putties.

Over the weekend, September 13-14, 2025, we held a new weekend miniature painting workshop called Contrast paints.

The workshop was held over two days (the whole weekend) and participants colored several (2-3) different figures using Contrast colors for quick coloring of miniatures. The focus of these lectures was coloring several miniatures at once, but the knowledge from the workshop is equally applicable to coloring armies for boardgames and a collection of figures for pen&paper rpgs. Each participant put together two to three figures from our collection, but for the first time they were also able to bring their own figures to work on. The workshop presented paints and accessories, preparation of figures, several techniques for coloring miniatures from basic to more advanced, and techniques and tricks for quickly and efficiently coloring large quantities of figures at once. As part of the workshop, water-based acrylic paints were used, with special attention paid to Contrast paints. The lectures were adjusted so that the presenters could devote equal time to all participants and could be adapted to all categories of miniaturists (from beginners to slightly advanced).

B A C K T O B A S I C S Miniature painting workshops for kids

During October and November, we held our Back to Basics miniature painting workshops for the youngest at the Zagreb City Libraries. We held a total of six workshops during October and November. And in combination with the Association's appearances at various events throughout 2025, a total of 100 participants, our youngest fellow citizens, went through the B2B workshop program..

A G R A M L E G O S E C T I O N

As part of our Agram Lego Section, we have been organizing a series of expert lectures related to our current group LEGO project since 2024. Our experts lead lectures in various fields such as architecture, mechanical engineering, naval architecture, sculpture, etc. In 2025, we covered two topics: Leonardo da Vinci – the inventor and the Orient Express.

In February, our Mario Grgurev covered the topic of inventor Leonardo da Vinci as part of the construction of his flying machine.

In April, our engineers held a series of lectures about the Orient Express, steam engines and locomotives as part of the construction of a model of this most famous train in the world.

A G R A M G R O U P B U I L D

As part of this UMS "Agram" project called Agram Group Build, which was created after Kruno and Marko discussed joint projects on Wednesdays and how it would be cool to gather more people on Wednesdays to work on something together. From this, the idea of Group Builds was born. In 2025, we worked on a series of busts on the theme of Iron Maiden and on the creation of a dieselpunk diorama of a flying island.

H O B B Y C O R N E R O N W E D N E S D A Y S

Hobby Corner on Wednesdays is conceived as a collection of free activities in the space used by UMS "Agram" during Wednesday evening sessions. Most activities are open to everyone, with some benefits for UMS "Agram" members, such as storing miniatures in display cases between sessions or borrowing books from our extensive Library.

A D V E N T I N A G R A M

During November and December, we organized a program called Advent in Agram, which consisted of interactive workshops on making Christmas balls and shorter demonstration workshops during December. Interactive workshops involve participants making their own models according to instructions and under the supervision of a leader. No registration is required for the demonstration workshops in December, and they consist of a series of separate topics that cover model-making methods, effects, and materials related to the winter period, such as making snow, ice, and the like, which the lecturer demonstrates from behind the desk.

Miniature photography course

10.12. as part of Advent in Agram, a miniature photography course was held, in which the lecturer showed how to photograph miniatures and how to make all miniatures sharp.

One of the largest miniature painting competitions in the world has been taking place in Warsaw since 2021. The Knezović clan visited Kontrast for the first time in 2023. The event was great and they enjoyed almost 1500 works, many of which were made by masters at the highest artistic level.

Our results were beyond expectations. Petar did not return with a medal, because for 2 years he worked mostly on orders. Jure Cukar, for whom we wore 3 models, won 1 silver in the Standard class. Filip won 2 silvers in the Standard class for his lizards (diorama) and for his environmental soldier (single model up to 54 mm). Ivan won gold in the Standard Historical and Realism category and the Alternity Miniatures award, silver in the Standard Storytelling category, gold in the Standard category for models larger than 54 millimeters and gold in the Standard Diorama category, the medal of Verko's Vault (miniature museum in Las Vegas) and what I really did not expect, the Best of Standard - award for the best work of all works in the Standard category. In addition, he also won a silver medal in the Master category.

Svet v Malem, Pivka, Slovenia

On Saturday, May 24, 2025, we headed to Pivka, Slovenia, for the traditional international competition Svet v Malem. As in previous years, this time it was held in the Military History Park in Pivka, located in a former military barracks.

Amulet D20 Grand Tournament, Ljubljana, Slovenia

In early October, our Domagoj had the opportunity to visit his neighbors from the Amuletd20 association. This time it wasn't an artsy Turnip28 event, but a huge tournament in AOS and Conquest games.

Monte San Savino Show, Monte San Savino, Italija

A small town in Italy has hosted one of the largest and most prestigious miniature exhibitions in the world every year since 2006, bringing together miniaturists from all over the world. The Knezović clan decided it was a shame that Croatians didn't come to the Monte San Savino Show, so after having a great time at Kontrast, a miniature exhibition in Warsaw, they decided to visit Italy as well.

Kup Zagreb, Zagreb

On Saturday, December 6th, our members competed in the 20th Zagreb Cup. The competition was held at the Juraj Kaštelan Elementary School in Zagreb.

Modelling Articles

And finally, our most comprehensive program should be mentioned. The online publication of articles from miniatures and model making that started in 2020 continued in the following years and even in 2025 with over 50 published articles this year. We would like to thank all members for their hard work and dedication in making miniatures and models, but especially for taking time to photograph work in progress and writing articles for our site.

Došao je kraj i ovoj 2025. godini u kojoj smo pored tradicionalnih programa po prvi puta izradili i seriju vlastitih minijatura, izdali prvu knjigu na engleskom jeziku, ali i napravili vlastite minijature za nagrade za naš Black Queen 2026.! U suradnji sa sveučilištem Algebra Bernays, dvije njihove studentice, Jana Pahel i Monika Bešenić su prema našem dizajnu dizajnirale figure Agramera koje smo već ove godine koristili u našim Back to Basics radionicama. Pored tih minijatura, za potrebe našeg natjecanja u bojanju minijatura, Black Queen H&MPC, izradile su i bistu te 75mm i 120mm minijaturu Barbare Celjske, u ovim krajevima poznatu pod imenom Crna Kraljica. O svemu tome, pročitajte u nastavku.

A G R A M E R I

U rujnu na Danima tehničke kulture po prvi puta smo predstavili našu liniju minijatura Agrameri. Sastoji se od šest minijatura koje prikazuju zmaja, viteza, barbarina, princezu, kralja i čarobnjaka.

No vratimo se na početak godine, koji je kao i svaki puta započeo sa našom tradicionalnom Izložbom...

I Z L O Ž B A M I N I J A T U R A I M A K E T A A G R A M 2 0 2 5

Godinu smo započeli pripremama za našu godišnju Izložbu minijatura i maketa tijekom koje smo organizirali i vikend radionicu bojanja minijatura te po peti puta u ovom terminu naše međunarodno natjecanje u bojanju minijatura Black Queen Hobby and Miniature Painting Competition.

Izložba minijatura i maketa "Agram 2025" održala se ove godine od 20.2. do 9.03. Postavljanje izložbe je održano u srijedu 19.2. u popodnevnim satima i sudjelovao je velik broj članova kao i prijatelja Udruge koji su izlagali svoje radove.

Kao i uvijek, Izložba je prikazivala presjek rada Udruge, njenih članova, polaznika njenih tečajeva i radionica te članova FB grupe Miniature Painters Croatia. U velikom broju vitrina našle su se brojne minijature za stolne strateške igre, igre na tabli, a cijela jedna vitrina posvećena je nagrađenim izlošcima sa prethodnih minijaturističkih natjecanja. Nekoliko vitrina bilo je posvećeno projektima koje Udruga već 21 godinu provodi poput Knjižnice i čitaonice UMS „Agram“, Radionice za izradu prostornih maketa i Radionice bojanja minijatura.

Tijekom prvog vikenda Izložbe, 22.-23.02.,održali smo 19. godišnje međunarodno natjecanje u bojanju minijatura Black Queen Hobby and Miniature Painting Competition!

Kako su natjecatelji pristizali i prijavljivali se na natjecanje, naše vrijedno osoblje je fotografiralo sve izloške prije nego li su ih rasporedili po kategorijama i pažljivo ih postavili u staklene vitrine.

WARGAMING POKAZNE PARTIJE

Ove godine u organizaciji naših prijatelja iz Slovenije iz kluba Amulet D20 održane su demonstracije stolne strateške igre Turnip28. Tijekom oba dana odigran je pregršt partija na predivnim terenima!

PRODAJNI KUTAK

Tijekom vikenda ugostili smo naše sponzore sa njihovim prodajnim štandovima: Swood.si i Carta Magica.

OGLEDNE RADIONICE BOJANJA MINIJATURA

Prostor ZZTK omogućuje održavanje radionica tijekom vikenda u kino dvorani u podrumu, stoga smo tijekom vikenda organizirali i ogledne radionice. Rad predavača snimao se kamerom i projicirao na projekcijsko platno u dvorani. Veliko hvala našim domaćim i inozemnim predavačima: Ani Polanšćak (HR), Vladimiru Matić-Kuriljevu (SRB), Luki Jaretu i Vanetu Dolencu (SLO), doc.dr.sc. Wintonu Afriću (HR) i Marcellu Rizzi (I).

NATJECANJE U BRZOM BOJANJU MINIJATURA

U nedjelju popodne održano je i natjecanje u brzom bojanju minijatura. Sudionici su imali 90 minuta vremena da obojaju jednu minijaturu. Zahvaljujući našem sponzoru Hobby Chest, koji nam je osigurao veliku donaciju materijala za bojanje od AK Interactive, organizirali smo jedno natjecanje u brzom bojanju minijatura prema sljedećim pravilima:

- natjecatelji imaju 90 minuta da oboje minijaturu

- svi natjecatelji bojaju istu (isti tip) minijaturu

- osigurali smo boje od AK Interactive

- osigurali smo kistove od AK Interactive.

S time smo došli do samoga kraja ovog predivnog vikenda i sve što je preostalo je bila podjela nagrada i priznanja pobjednicima.

BACK TO BASICS RADIONICE ZA NAJMLAĐE

Radnim danima od 17:00 do 18:00 održavali smo naše nove radionice za najmlađe u kojima su naši najmlađi polaznici bojali svoje prve minijature.

OTVORENE RADIONICE BOJANJA MINIJATURA

Tijekom naredna dva tjedna, naši volonteri su radnim danima od 16:00 do 20:00, držali otvorene radionice bojanja minijatura. Postavljene su radne stanice za bojanje minijatura na kojoj su naši posjetitelji mogli bojati minijature koje smo priredili (ili svoje ukoliko su ih donijeli) koristeći naše materijale i alate.

U srijedu 05.03.2025. održana je godišnja sjednica Skupštine na kojoj smo odredili smjernice rada u 2025..

V I K E N D R A D I O N I C E B O J A NJ A M I N I J A T U R A

Tijekom drugog vikenda Izložbe, 01.-02.03., organizirali smo RADIONICU BOJANJA MINIJATURA – Frostgrave.

Radionica se provodila kroz dva dana (cijeli vikend) i polaznici su bojali pet različitih figura za igru Frostgrave, a koje se mogu koristiti i za DND sessione. Fokus ovih predavanja bilo jebojenje 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. 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 korištene su akrilne boje na bazi vode.

Tijekom vikenda, 17.-18.05., organizirali smo RADIONICU BOJANJA MINIJATURA – Kitbashing and Converting.

Radionica se provodila kroz dva dana (cijeli vikend) i bila je fokusirana na izradu dvije (do tri) vlastite minijature od raznih dijelova (više različitih minijatura) uz dodatak modeliranja dijelova uz pomoć modelarskih masa (Green Stuff). Sastojala se od dva dijela, teorijskog i praktičnog dijela. Tijekom radionice polaznici su se upoznali s alatima, materijalima i tehnikama za izvođenje jednostavnih i kompleksnih konverzija, uključujući uporabu masa za modeliranje.

Tijekom vikenda, 13.-14.9.2025., održali smo novu vikend radionicu bojanja minijatura pod nazivom Kontrastice.

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).

B A C K T O B A S I C S Radionice za najmlađe

Tijekom listopada i studenog u Knjižnicama Grada Zagreba smo održali naše Back to Basics radionice bojanja minijatura za najmlađe. Ukupno smo održali šest radionice tijekom listopada i studenog. A u kombinaciji sa nastupima Udruge na raznim događanjima tijekom 2025., sveukupno je kroz program B2B radionica prošlo 100 polaznika, naših najmlađih sugrađana.

A G R A M L E G O S E K C I J A

Kao dio naše Agram Lego Sekcije, od 2024. organiziramo serije stručnih predavanja vezanih na naš trenutni grupni LEGO projekt. Naši stručnjaci vode predavanja iz raznih područja poput arhitekture, strojarstva, brodogradnje, kiparstva i slično. U 2025. smo obradili dvije teme: Leonardo da Vinci – izumitelj te Orient Express.

U veljači je naš Mario Grgurev obradio temu izumitelja Leonarda da Vincija u sklopu izgradnje njegovog letećeg stroja.

U travnju su naši strojari održali niz predavanja o Orient Expressu te parnim strojevima i lokomotivama u sklopu izgradnje makete ovog najpoznatijeg vlaka na svijetu.

A G R A M G R O U P B U I L D

U sklopu ovog projekta UMS „Agram” pod nazivom Agram Group Build koji je nastao nakon što su Kruno i Marko srijedama razgovarali o zajedničkim projektima i kako bi bilo cool okupiti više ljudi srijedama oko rada na zajedničkom nečemu. Iz toga se izrodila ideja o Group Buildovima. U 2025. smo radili na seriji bisti na temu Iron Maiden te na izradi dieselpunk diorame letećeg otoka.

H O B B Y K U T A K S R I J E D O M

Hobby Kutak Srijedom je zamišljen kao suma besplatnih aktivnosti u prostoru kojeg koristi UMS „Agram” u terminima srijedom navečer. Većina aktivnosti je otvorena za sve, uz neke pogodnosti za članove UMS „Agram” poput skladištenja minijatura u vitrinama između termina ili pak posuđivanje knjiga iz naše bogate Knjižnice.

A D V E N T U A G R A M U

Tijekom studenog i prosinca organizirali smo program pod nazivom Advent u Agramu koji se sastojao od interaktivnih radionica izrade božićnih kuglica te kraćih oglednih radionica tijekom prosinca. Interaktivne radionice podrazumijevaju da polaznici izrađuju vlastite makete prema uputama i pod paskom voditelja. Za ogledne radionice u prosincu nisu potrebne prijave, a sastoje se od niza zasebnih tema koje obrađuju maketarske metode, efekte i materijale koji su vezani za zimski period poput izrade snijega, leda i sličnog koje predavač pokazuje za katedrom.

Tečaj fotografiranja minijatura

10.12. u sklopu Adventa u Agramu održan je i tečaj fotografiranja minijatura u kojemu je predavač pokazao kako fotografirati minijature i kako učiniti da sve minijature budu oštre.

	The day was beautiful and we soon reached the first point of our excursion. The Museum Svet v Malem.

	

	The lecture about the museum was given by our friends Bine Logar, Luka Jančič and Milan Hrestak.

	

	After the lecture, there was free time to view dioramas related to the history of Slovenia.

	

	

	

	

	

	

	

	

	

	

	After looking at the models on the ground floor, we went up to the first floor to the workshop area. The first thing that impressed us was the representation of Triglav. A train runs around the entire room, showing the past of Slovenia.

	

	

	

	

	The second thing our hosts surprised us with was a commemorative plaque rewarding us for successfully conducting Back to Basics workshops in 2025, in which we had 100 participants.

	

	On the way out, we signed the Guest Book.

	

	After visiting the museum, our hosts took us to lunch at Walter's (all recommendations for real Bosnian grill!)

	

	After that, we visited the B2B headquarters at the Kovačnica incubator in Kranj, where we discussed the state of technical culture in both Slovenia and Croatia over coffee.

	

	

	

	

	To end the gathering, the hosts took us for a short walk in nature.

	

	And this wouldn't be a hobby trip if we didn't take a peek at at least one LGS - Park Enigma in the center of Kranj!

	

	

	Before returning, there was still time for a coffee and a chat about the weekend's impressions!

	

	As always, more and bigger photos are on our social networks!

	Nakon nastupa na Državnom prvenstvu u Ljubljani, naša ekipa se u nedjelju ujutro uputila na izlet u Kranj na poziv naših partnera iz Back to Basics!

	

	Dan je bio predivan i ubrzo smo stigli do prve točke našeg izleta. Muzej Svet v Malem.

	

	Predavanje o muzeju su odradili naši prijatelji Bine Logar, Luka Jančič i Milan Hrestak.

	

	Nakon predavanja, uslijedilo je slobodno vrijeme za razgledavanje diorama vezanih na povijest Slovenije.

	

	

	

	

	

	

	

	

	

	

	Nakon razgledavanja maketa u prizemlju, popeli smo se na prvi kat u prostor radionice. Prvo što nas je impresioniralo bio je prikaz Triglava. Oko cijele prostorije prolazi vlak koji pokazuje prošlost Slovenije. 

	

	

	

	

	Druga stvar čime su nas naši domaćini iznenadili bila je prigodna spomenica kojom nas nagrađuju za uspješno vođenje Back to Basics radionica u 2025. u kojoj smo imali 100 polaznika.

	

	Na izlasku smo se upisali u Knjigu dojmova.

	

	Nakon posjeta muzeju, domaćini su nas odveli na ručak kod Waltera. (sve preporuke za pravi bosanski roštilj!)

	

	Nakon toga posjetili smo i B2B sjedište u inkubatoru Kovačnica u Kranju gdje smo uz kavu prodiskutirali stanje u tehničkoj kulturi kako u Sloveniji tako i u Hrvatskoj.

	

	

	

	

	Za kraj druženja, domaćini su nas odveli na kratku šetnju u prirodi.

	

	A ovo ne bi bio hobby put da nismo zavirili u barem jedan LGS - Park Enigma u centru Kranja!

	

	

	Prije povratka još je bilo vremena za jednu kavu i razgovor o dojmovima vikenda!

	

	Kao i uvijek, više i veće fotke su na našim socijalnim mrežama!

	On Saturday, November 22, 2025. in Ljubljana, the National Championship of Slovenia in Plastic Modeling was held. It was a jubilee, their 30th edition. For this occasion, our delegation performed in several categories, but also for the first time we had a presentation stand as well.

	

	After the set-up, the competition opened at 11 am with the cutting of a celebratory cake.

	

	Throughout the competition, our booth was very popular, and the biggest hit were the homemade chocolate chip cookies made by Marko's wife!

	

	Below is a gallery of exhibits.

	

	

	

	

	

	

	

	

	

	In our opinion, best of show went to Slovenia. Anže Zorko made a fantastic chieftain!

	

	The best part of the event itself was hanging out with fellow modelers and gamers. Many thanks to Amulet D20 for the Middle Earth SBG demo which our Seb thoroughly enjoyed!

	

	

	Finally, the tradition is that the most awarded member pays for the booze!

	

	Look for more photos in better resolution on our social networks!

	U subotu, 22.11.2025. u Ljubljani održavalo se Državno prvenstvo Slovenije u plastičnom maketarstvu, jubilarno, 30. Tom prilikom naša delegacija je nastupila u nekoliko kategorija, ali i po prvi puta sa prezentacijskim štandom.

	

	Nakon postavljanja, u 11 je natjecanje otvoreno uz prigodno rezanje slavljeničke torte.

	

	TIjekom cijelog natjecanja, naš štand je bio jako posjećen, a najveći hit su bili domaći chocolate chip cookies koje je izradila Markova supruga!

	

	U nastavku slijedi galerija radova.

	

	

	

	

	

	

	

	

	

	Po našem izboru, best of show otišao je u Sloveniju. Anže Zorko napravio je fantastičnog poglavicu!

	

	Najbolji dio samog događaja bilo je druženje s kolegama maketarima i gamerima. Veliko hvala Amulet D20 na demonstraciji Middle Earth SBG u kojoj je naš Seb izrazito uživao!

	

	

	Za kraj, tradicija da najnagrađivaniji član plaća cugu!
