Our annual Exhibition of Miniatures and Tabletop Scenery Agram 2022 took place this year from 24.02.-13.03.2022. The setup was done on Wednesday 23.02.2022. in the afternoon. Many club members as well as some friends of the club and members of the local FB group Miniature Painters Croatia came by to help, provided their miniatures and helped with the setting up of the whole event.

As always, the exhibition showed a cross-section of the work of the Association, its members, participants in its courses and workshops and members of the FB group Miniature Painters Croatia. In a large number of showcases, there were numerous miniatures for tabletop wargames, board games, and an entire showcase was dedicated to award-winning exhibits from previous miniaturist competitions. Several showcases were dedicated to the projects that the Association has been implementing for 19 years, such as the Library of UMS "Agram", the Terrain Workshop and the Miniature Painting Workshop.

During the weekend of 26.-27.02. as a part of the Exhibition, we held our 16th annual Black Queen Hobby and Miniature Painting Competition!

Click for enlarged picture

In 2022 due to the Covid-19 epidemic, we had some changes in the format of the Black Queen Hobby and Miniature Painting Competition. The contestants had to pre-register for the event via e-mail. They then received the exact time when to register at the event (from 8:30 until 11:00). This was to limit the number of people at the venue at the same time.

Here is a quick run down through categories at this year's event:

1. Single Miniature (any 28-35mm single miniature)

2. Mounted and Large Miniature (mounted or large miniatures in 28-35mm scale)

3. Unit / Squad (unit of 5+ minis (28-35mm), or exceptionally 3+ minis (trolls, ogres etc))

4. Masterclass (our most prestigious category, anything goes as long as it's a single entry. Previous Masterclass winners can not compete in the first three categories.)

5. Diorama / Duel (self explanatory, two or more minis locked in combat or in any other interaction on a single base (no limit to the size of the base, if you can bring it, we'll display it!))

6. Open (anything that isn't covered in the categories above – primarily reserved for dragons, monsters, warmachines, but also scenery etc)

7. Bust (busts of any size can go in here)

8. Junior (under 18. The Junior entries will be assigned in the categories above as applicable and will compete with the rest of the entries. However, best three Junior entries in the whole competition will be awarded in Junior category.)

9. BEST OF SHOW (this is a new category which will be sponsored by UMS „Agram“. All of the entries will be judged and the best entry will be awarded a special prize!

Painting Workshops

The layout of the venue at the Vladimir Horvat Gallery makes it possible to hold several workshops throughout the weekend. Therefore, there were three one-hour workshops on Saturday after the official opening of the competition and three on Sunday before the awards ceremony. This year, the workshops were held in the cinema hall in the basement of the venue. The tutor's work was filmed with a camera and projected on the projection screen in the hall. That way the social distancing could have been maintained. Also, this setup means the workshops were capped at 10 people so registrations for the workshops also took place.

The workshop was a presentation of the Back to Basics product of a Fireman bust which comes with a simple and easy to follow video guide intended to help any modeler with their first steps in plastic modeling. The Back to Basics (BTB) video explains how much time is required to build the model and is divided into logical steps. This sequence of steps schematically illustrates the entire process of a model build without the use of sound. The method has been thoroughly tested and fine-tuned over the course of numerous workshops.

Speed Painting Contests

There was a speed painting contest organised on Sunday. Participants had an hour to paint a single miniature. Thanks to our sponsor Hobby Chest who secured a huge donation of painting materials by AK Interactive, we were able to hold a Speed Painting Contest with the following rules: - contestants had an hour to paint a miniature - all contestants painted the same (type of) miniature - we provided the paints by AK Interactive - we provided the brushes by AK Interactive

During the second weekend of the Exhibition, on 05.-06.03., we organised a MINIATURE PAINTING WORKSHOP – Painting Eyes.

Click for enlarged picture

During the weekend workshop the attendees painted the „EYES“ figurine by Nordlys Miniatures. The main focus of the workshop was painting of the eys, gaze and the parts of the face surrounding theyes. For this, the tutors chose some appropriate miniature for the attendees to paint with acrylic paints. The lectures were addapted so the tutors could spend equal ammount of time on each participant and therefore could addapt to all categories of miniature painters (beginer or advanced). This time, the user could explore his own limits through painting various effects at his own desire. Whether to use OSL, tattoos, make-up or anything else, it was up to each of the attendees to decide.

First the tutor sitting behind his desk explained and demonstrated each step of the painting on his example. His work was transmitted over a camera and a digital projector onto a screen in the cinema hall. The pupils watched and listened to the tutor but could also stop him/her and ask questions. Then, the pupils paint their own miniatures copying what they have learned while the tutors walk among them and check their progress. The following themes were covered:

1. Anatomy of the Eye – theoretical presentation by Jakob Skovgaard Villien, the author of the miniature

2. Painting the face

3. Painting the eyes

4. Special effects (OSL, tattoos, make-up)

The club provided all with the necessary equipment, paints, tools, brushes, lighting, glue as well as a set of paints.

Due to the pandemic, the following epidemiologic measures were enforced:

Correct wearing of masks was obligatory. The Disinfectant was at hand for all to use freely. Camera nad projection screen was used to ensure the social distancing while lecturing and separate tables for all the participants moved 2m apart to ensure the social distancing while the pupils paint.

    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.

    Click for enlarged picture

    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).

    Click for enlarged picture

    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.

    From 2021, the Association also organizes group projects for its members in which several members participate at once. The program called Agram Group Build was created after our members discussed joint projects on Wednesdays and how it would be convenient to gather more people on Wednesdays at our Hobby corner to work on a common "something"... #Project2 presents a dieselpunk diorama of a flying island with a fast food stand and several docks for flying cars, and the wonderful art of Alejandro Burdisi serves as a template. The main effects on the diorama will be LED lighting, but also the application of the tensegrity principle.

    Recently, we received new LEDs as well as 3D prints of bits and figures that will go on our diorama. The cars will get a new drive that looks fantastic. For each vehicle, we printed "wheels" in their size.

    In addition, we also got some fun on the truck. But also luggage for the vehicles… When everything is placed on the platform (although not where it will actually go), it already looks fantastic!

    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.

    Click for enlarged picture

    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.

    Click for enlarged picture

    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.

    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.

    Click for enlarged picture

    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.

    Click for enlarged picture

    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. 

    Click for enlarged picture

    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. 

    Click for enlarged picture

    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).
