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.

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 two two-hour workshops on Saturday after the official opening of the competition and two 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.

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

That brought this wonderful weekend to a close and all that was left to do was to award the winning painters.

During the following two weeks on workdays from 16:00 until 20:00 we organised Warhammer 40.000 demo games. Next to the wargaming table we set up a painting booth where our visitors could paint the miniatures we provided (or they brought with themselves) using our painting material. This interactive part of the workshop was a nice new feature to our standard exhibition setup.

During the second weekend of the Exhibition, on 04.-05.03., we organised a MINIATURE PAINTING WORKSHOP – Batchpainting Ork Boyz.

 

Click for enlarged picture

During the weekend workshop the attendees painted the Ork Boyz figures for Warhammer 40,000 board strategy games. The focus of these lectures was painting 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. 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. The lectures were adapted so that the presenters will devote equal time to all participants and will be able to adapt to all categories of miniaturists (from beginners to slightly advanced).

First, the lecturer sits at his desk and explains and demonstrates each step in painting a miniature/mockup on his specimen. His work is shown on a screen through a camera and projector, which the participants listen to, look at, and ask questions about. Afterwards, the participants sit at their desks and apply the acquired knowledge. Leaders circulate between participants and check how each participant is doing. In this way, they can be adapted to each student individually. The workshop included the following thematic units

1. Planning and preparation and assembly of miniatures 2. Processing of miniatures before painting 3. Basic colors 4. Shading and highlighting techniques 5. Batch Painting 6. Subsequent elevation of the finished paintjob to a higher level 7. Basing the miniatures

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

    Last year, after participating in the Black Queen H&MPC 2024, our friends from Hungary, Gabor and Erika, asked me if I would be willing to judge at the Mosonshow 2025. I must admit that the question caught me off guard, I did not expect such an honor. I accepted in principle, considering that the competition itself was quite far away at that time.

    Click for enlarged picture

    As you can see in the photo, I accepted and headed to Hungary on the last weekend in April. This is my first time participating in this big competition and I have to admit that I wasn't really attracted to it before – precisely because of its size. Long waiting lines, endless lines at registration and the like are really something that didn't make me happy. After a little bit of asking around, I came up with a plan to come on Friday (I even took a day off for this) as soon as the doors opened and to do the registration and set up of the models (in categories that I don't judge, right :D ) so that on Saturday I could deal with the competition in peace.

    Saturday started, as I expected, with work. Being a judge, although "prestigious", is not a fun activity at all. Count on a good part of your Saturday being taken up by duties. First there is a judges' meeting where the organizer introduces us to the criteria and method of judging they want. After more or less questions, the meeting ends and (fortunately) there is a meal prepared for the judges. And the organizer realizes that it is better for the judges to be satisfied, or at least full. After the reception, we head to the judging. On the spot, you meet the members of the jury whom you will be judging with. There are two category ranks. Hobby and Master. I judged three Hobby categories (Fantasy/SF figures, Fantasy/SF busts and Fantasy/SF dioramas and vignettes). Alongside me in the jury for these categories, there were Eszter Elek from Hungary and Keigo Murakami from Japan. The judging lasted until about 4 pm. That meant I missed the workshops I wanted to visit - but that is the price of judging.

    Tijekom prošle godine, nakon sudjelovanja na Black Queen H&MPC 2024. naši prijatelji iz Mađarske, Gabor i Erika, su me upitali da li bih bio voljan suditi na Mosonshow-u 2025. Moram priznati da me pitanje zateklo, takvu čast nisam očekivao. Načelno sam prihvatio, s obzirom da je samo natjecanje bilo dosta udaljeno u tom trenutku.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Kao što vidite na fotografiji, prihvatio sam te sam se zadnjeg vikenda u travnju uputio prema Mađarskoj. Ovo je prvi puta da sudjelujem na tom velikom natjecanju i moram priznati da me prije nije baš privlačilo – upravo zbog svoje veličine. Dugi redovi za čekanje, nepregledne kolone pri registraciji i slično stvarno je nešto što me nije veselilo. Nakon malo raspitivanja što i kako, skovao sam plan da dođem u petak (uzeo i godišnji zbog toga) čim otvore vrata i da odradim registraciju i postavljanje modela (u kategorije koje ne sudim, jel :D ) tako da se u subotu mogu u miru baviti sa natjecanjem.

    Subota je počela, kako sam i očekivao, radno. Biti sudac, iako „prestižno“, nije nimalo zabavna aktivnost. Računajte da vam dobar dio subote otpada na dužnosti. Prvo ide sudački sastanak na kojem nas organizator upoznaje sa kriterijem i načinom suđenja koji želi. Nakon više ili manje pitanja, sastanak završava i (na svu sreću) slijedi gablec za suce. I organizator shvaća da je bolje da suci budu zadovoljni, ili barem siti. Nakon gableca, upućujemo se na suđenje. Na licu mjesta upoznajete članove žirija s kojima sudite. Postoje dva ranga kategorija. Hobby i Master. Ja sam sudio tri Hobby kategorije (Fantasy/SF figure, Fantasy/SF biste i Fantasy/SF diorame i vinjete). Pored moje malenkosti u žiriju za ove kategorije bili su Eszter Elek iz Mađarske te Keigo Murakami iz Japana. Suđenje je trajalo do cca 16h. Time sam propustio radionice koje sam htio posjetiti – ali to je cijena suđenja.

    Our team is preparing to perform at the Turnip28 tournament called H.R.E.N.28 in Slovenia in July. Ana, Mario, Domagoj, Seb and Antoni assemble their armies and paint, and we follow them on their way!

    MARIO: „My next step was working on Proboscis, I wanted to add some texture to it so I sculpted his fur from brown stuff, along with a textured mass of mud on his back. I wanted to achieve the effect of overgrown plants and mushrooms on the skin. I also finished the existing trunks and added another pair.“

    SEB: „Over the past week I have continued work on the conversion of the cannon Snail Knight.

    I added Liquid Green Stuff (from GSW) to the metal parts (the paperclip) and then sponged it on to get a rust plus algae effect so that the overall impression was: they just came out of the water.

    Today I added textures to the base.

    And to end this part of the army building, before my trip to England/Scotland, here's a close-up of the snails pulling the cart. The rest will follow at the end of May, as far as I'm concerned!

    MARIO: „Moj sljedeći korak je bio rad na Proboscisu, želio sam mu dodati teksture pa sam mu kipario krzno od brown stuffa, zajedno sa teksturnom masom blata na leđima. Želim postići efekt obraslog bilja i gljiva na koži. Ujedno sam doradio postojeće surle i dodao još jedan par.

    SEB: „U proteklom tjednu nastavio sam rad na konverziji topovskog Snail Knighta.

    Na metalne dijelove (spajalicu) sam dodao Liquid Green Stuff (od GSW-a) i onda ga stipplao spužvicom da dobijem efekt hrđe plus algi kako bi cjelokupni dojam bio: upravo su izašli iz vode.

    Danas sam dodao teksture po bazi.

    I za kraj ovog dijela izrade vojske, prije mog puta u Englesku/Škotsku, evo jedan close-up puževa koji vuku zapregu. Nastavak slijedi krajem svibnja, što se mene tiče!“
