The Bust Saga (part 3)

Marko Paunović, 22nd April 2021

If you are a bit older and from Zagreb, you probably remember Saga o Pičekima? If not, the joke will elude you. Well, hopefully beside the Croatian pun, you will like the rest of this saga. Goran and Marko will take you on a miniature painting journey while they build and paint one and the same bust for their Admin Challenge. Why call it a saga? Because everyone who knows them knows this will take a while to finish.... They chose a bust by Crecy Models that comes in two options – as King Ladislav Jagellone and as Grand Master of Teutonic Order Ulrich von Jungingen. Goran and Marko will do different versions...

MARKO: I continued putting on the basecolor I started last week. First I painted the cloak blue, and then the two shields yellow or gray - as the first step to get white.

Then I decided to put one layer of wash on the cloak to get the first outline of the shadows. Since the cloak has the largest grooves - I decided on a rather dark shade. After drying I ended up with weird white stains. I’m not quite sure what they were, but I coated them with another layer of wash. I hope it looks better next week: D

GORAN: This time I decided to focus entirely on the cloak of the bust.Since I started to achieve a result that is as similar as possible to the official one from the manufacturer's site, I started with the layering / glazing technique to achieve gradual transitions between shady and lighter parts of the fabric. I first went with Rainy Gray paint by Scale75 to fill the coverage of the entire mantle. Then I set off with a mix of Nacar and Rainy Gray by Scale75 to do the first lighter layers.

What is important to emphasize here is that this technique requires VERY diluted paint and very good brush control, which I have not fully mastered, but with practice to perfection. Then I set off with a clean Nacar to further illuminate, and then returned to Rainy Gray to fix the transitions and shadows. I finished with pure Birch paint by Scale75, which I put wider on the lighter parts, starting to slowly achieve the final tones of the mantle.

MARKO: For the end, and I wanted to deal with that this week, I decided to deal with the insignia freehand. During the week I found the coat of arms of Ladislav Jagellone on the net, which consists of four separate coats of arms. The Polish one that I plan to put on the chest (white eagle on the red field), the coat of arms of Jagelović that will go on the cloak (yellow stylized cross on the blue field), and the stylized Croatian and Bohemian coats of arms that will go on the shields. Unfortunately, I forgot the pencil with which I would sketch the coats of arms so I contented myself with an exercise on paper. In any case, before drawing live on your miniature, I would recommend this method to "get into your hand".

	Radionica se provodila kroz dva dana (cijeli vikend) i polaznici su bojali tri različite figure za igru Trench Crusade (prema izboru). Fokus ovih predavanja bilo je bojenje više minijatura odjednom prepoznatljivim GRIMDARK stilom, 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 bile su korištene akrilne boje na bazi vode te uljni efekti jednostavni za korištenje. Predavanja su prilagođena tako da voditelji posveti jednako vrijeme svim polaznicima i može se prilagoditi svim kategorijama minijaturista (od početnika do malo naprednijih).

	

	

	

	

	Radionica je uključivalai sljedeće tematske cjeline:

	1. Planiranje i priprema te sastavljanje minijatura

	2. Obrada minijatura prije bojanja

	3. Osnovne grimdark stila i izbor boja

	4. Osnovne boje

	5. Tehnike shadinga i highlighta

	6. Naknadno podizanje gotovog paintjoba na višu razinu, uljni efekti

	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..

	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.
