Black Templars Sword Brother – part 1

Goran Krunić, 21nd November 2020

In this series of articles, I will explain my approach to painting a Black Templar Sword Brother from the old metal box, in the first article, I will be explaining the miniature preparation step.

Since we are talking about a metal miniature, the needed tools are: small diamond files (the author owns a Gale Force 9 set), a sharp scalpel, a bowl with warm soapy water and an old toothbrush.

Using the scalpel, remove the smaller mould lines which occur as a consequence of casting on places where the mould halves meet.

Using the diamond files, remove the mould lines from the larger, rounder areas, such as the lower and outer side of the miniature’s cape.

After all of the visible mould lines have been removed, there is a possibility that the edges and jagged parts of the miniature still contain flash (the top of the claws or feet), this flash can easily be removed using a scalpel.

After the removal of the mould lines and flash, it is recommended to place the miniature into a bowl of warm, soapy water, because powder or a similar medium, which is used as a mould release agent, as well as oil and grease from your fingers can still be present on the miniature in a smaller or larger amount, which can pose adherence issues when applying the primer on the miniature. After the miniature has dried, it can be placed on its base or a similar holder, and using light horizontal movements, apply a spray black primer onto the whole surface of the miniature (the author has used black matte spray by Cosmos).

	U srijedu 25.2. u sklopu naše Izložbe minijatura i maketa Agram 2026, naša Agram Lego Sekcija je odradila svoj četvrti projekt. Nakon Hogwartsa u 2024. te Leonarda i Orient Expressa u 2025., prvi projekt u 2026. bio je bolid Formule 1 sa početka 1990-ih. 

	

	Kao što je već tradicija kod naše Lego Sekcije, prije izgradnje modela, valjalo se malo educirati o temi. Ovoga puta naš dežurni strojar Marko Paunović održao je predavanje o bolidu FW14b, pobjedničkom bolidu iz 1992. tima Williams s kojim su postali svjetski konstruktorski prvaci, a kojeg je Nigel Mansel vozio do svjetske titule. U svojem predavanju, Marko je obradio teme aerodinamike, aktivnog ovjesa, mjenjača na volanu te ostalih inovacija koje je ovaj bolid uspješno instalirao. 

	

	Ulaz na predavanje bio je besplatan, a prijave nisu bile potrebne!

	

	

	Izrada makete je rezervirana za članove Agram Lego Sekcije. 

	

	

	

	Ukoliko se želite uključiti u sljedeće projekte, javite se za više informacija na ums.agram@gmail.com .

	

	Sljedeći projekt bit će u travnju, a tema će biti Gospodar Prstenova. Očekuju vas pregršt zabavnih predavanja.

	

	Vidimo se!

	In this series of articles, we will follow my work on a new diorama, another in the 1986 series. This time I have again decided to use a former country. Another version of the SFRY 1986.

	  

	So far I have finished making the base, painting the base, painting the interior of the vehicle and painting the figures. Now it's time to add the vegetation

	  

	The pines/trees were already fixed to the base before painting, so the first vegetation I added was tall shrubs that filled the volume of the base.

	  

	Then I added lower vegetation like tall grass and lower bushes.

	  

	Finally, I added some short grass, making sure when I was making the parking lot and path that there was no vegetation in the places where the wheels pass.

	  

	The paint on the base has just dried up, so next time I'll add the vegetation.

	  

	When the diorama is turned to the back, the volume of the forest is visible.

	  

	Before placing the vehicles and miniatures on the base, the diorama looks like this.

	Do sada sam završio s izradom baze, bojanjem baze, bojanjem interijera vozila i bojanjem figura. Sada je došlo vrijeme za dodavanje vegetacije

	  

	Borovi/drveće je već bilo fiksirano na bazu prije bojanja pa je prva sljedeća vegetacija bila visoko žbunje kojim sam popunio volumen baze.

	  

	Potom sam dodao niže raslinje poput visoke trave i nižeg grmlja.

	  

	Na kraju sam dodao i nisku travu pri čemu sam pazio kad sam radio ugibalište i puteljak da vegetacije ne bude na mjestima gdje prolaze kotači.

	  

	Kada se dioramu okrene, vidi se volumen vegetacije u šumi. 

	

	Prije postavljanja vozila i minijatura, diorama izgleda ovako:

	After the base and the vehicles, I started painting the miniatures. Two policemen and a truck driver. The first step was the base color – black and then white..

	  

	After that, I started with the basic colors, concentrating a little more on the truck driver..

	  

	Considering the year and location of the action, I decided that his jacket should have the logo from the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics..

	  

	Then I threw myself at the policemen..

	  

	The paint on the base has just dried up, so next time I'll add the vegetation.

	Nakon baze i vozila, bacio sam se na bojanje minijatura. Dva milicajca i vozač kamiona. Prvi korak je bila temeljna boja – crna pa bijela.

	  

	Nakon toga, krenuo sam s osnovnim bojama, malo više se koncentrirajući na vozača kamiona.

	  

	S obzirom na godinu i mjesto radnje, odlučio sam se da mu jakna ima logo od ZOI Sarajevo 1984.

	  

	Zatim sam se bacio na milicajce.

	  

	Taman se tako nekako osušila i boja na bazi pa ću sljedeći puta obraditi i dodavanje vegetacije.

	In this series of articles, we will follow my work on a new diorama, another in the 1986 series. This time I have again decided to use a former country. Another version of the SFRY 1986.

	  

	As I announced last time, it's time to get down to the vehicles. The first thing I did was disassemble the models and take out the interiors of all three vehicles.

	  

	As you can see in the picture, the interior of the vehicle is poorly or not at all painted, so a lot of attention and time was spent there. I painted the upholstery in shades of gray, or brown on the Tristač. I brought out the details on the dashboard and around the gearbox.

	  

	There was something missing from the start on the Fićo, but I couldn't figure out what it was until Kruno pointed out to me that the flashing lights were missing. I fixed that with a small 3mm clear LED that I painted in Tamiya Clear Blue with a silver edge.

	  

	This completes the painting of the vehicles’ interior.

	  

	The finishing touches are the decorations in the truck's cabin.

	  

	Next time we will continue with painting the figures.

	U ovoj seriji članaka pratit ćemo moj rad na novoj diorami, još jednoj u nizu serijala 1986. Ovaj put sam se opet odlučio za bivšu državu. Druga verzija SFRJ 1986..

	  

	Kao što sam najavio prošli put, vrijeme je da se bacim na vozila. Prvo što sam napravio jest da sam rastavio modele i izvadio unutrašnjost sva tri vozila

	  

	Kako je vidljivo na slici, unutrašnjost vozila je slabo ili nikako obojana stoga je tu otišlo mnogo pažnje i vremena. Tapecirunge sam obojao u sive nijanse, odnosno u smeđe na tristaču. Izvukao sam detalje na komandnim pločama te oko mjenjača.

	  

	Na fićeku mi je otpočetka nešto falilo, ali nisam mogao skužiti što dok mi Kruno nije skrenuo pažnju da fali rotirka. Nju sam sredio pomoću jedne male 3mm prozirne LED koju sam obojao u Tamiya Clear Blue sa srebrnim rubom.

	  

	Time je završeno bojanje unutrašnjosti vozila.

	  

	Završni detalji su ukrasi u kabini kamiona.

	  

	Sljedeći put nastavljamo sa bojanjem figura.
