2. Kup Zagreb
3. Train Exhibition by KZMZ
4. Svet v Malem 2024 – Pivka, Slovenia
5. ITTD 2024 - Jalžabet
6. PSMK 2024 – Budapest, Hungary
7. Wednesday's Hobby Corner
8. Agram Group Build

And in this article, we will bring the impressions of our volunteers from all the actions that we have organized, as well as in which we have participated - either as visitors, competitors or as presenters...

 

Miniature Painting Workshop - Bretonnia

Click for enlarged picture

The workshop was held over two days (May 4 and 5) and participants painted a Bretonnian knight on horseback for the Warhammer The Old World tabletop strategy game. 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 assembled his own knight with a spear, shield and ornamental helmet as well as a horse according to his own discretion. The workshop presented colors and accessories, preparation of figures, several techniques for painting miniatures from basic to more advanced, as well as techniques for placing stickers, and finally basing the figure. Water-based acrylic paints were used as part of the workshop.

Kup Zagreb

The Zagreb Cup, a modelling competition organized by ZMMS, was held this year over two days on May 18-19, 2024. in the Family Mall. The organizer asked us to participate by presenting our programs and projects, to which we responded with pleasure.

Mario: "I consider the Zagreb Cup a successful representation of Agram. I had fun talking to the people who came to the stand and I managed to paint the helicopter from Heavy gear. Plus, I got myself a little Jeep Grand Cherokee from the car show waiting for a diorama.”

Kruno: "This year's Zagreb Cup will remain in my memory because we represented Agram in direct contact with the visitors. I was surprised how many people are also interested in our hobby, they just didn't know that someone was "organized" into it. I can also say that I am satisfied with the result achieved in the competition. I am sorry that the number of exhibits is relatively small, but I believe that this will also change in the future."

Svet v Malem, Pivka, Slovenia

Click for enlarged picture

Svet v Malem, a model competition show was held at the Museum of Military History in Pivka, Slovenia on May 25, 2024. We also presented our programs and activities at this competition. For the first time, our Norwegian member, Sebastian, went with us, for whom this was also the first competition abroad in which he participated.

In addition to the competition, traditionally, our Slovenian partner Back to Basics and Miniatures.si organized miniature painting workshops. Our Marko was also invited to hold one - quick painting of the Bretonnian Man-at-Arms.

Kruno: "Traditionally, there is a lot to see at the SVM from exhibited works, shops and museum exhibits. This year I finally dared to cross paths with other competitors and I am quite satisfied with my success. The ambience, atmosphere and exhibits (museum and competition) are still impressive and I recommend everyone who hasn't been yet to dare to go."

Sebastian:” We left Zagreb for Pivka early in the morning on Saturday 25ht of May, and soon found ourselves leaving Croatia. Driving through Slovenia, to Pivka, was very nice, with lots of rich, green, tranquil landscapes, and mountains in the distance. It was my first time at the event, SVM (Svet v malem) and I was excited. Kruno and Marko have been before, but since we all had brought entries for the competition, I think we were all curious to see what the day would bring. “

„First of all, the location of the event is perfect for a miniature convention. The Park of Military History in Pivka has an interesting story, and learning about its historical and geographical importance, as well as Yugoslavian military history at their museum, was certainly interesting, although the best part of the place for me was the large airplanes, helicopters, tanks and cars hanging or standing around the venue. This brings a perfect complement and contrast to all the tiny miniatures being exhibited. The exhibition mostly consisted of military and historical vehicles, dioramas or displays, but the three of us entered in the somewhat smaller categories of "Wargaming", "What If (Sci-fi)", "Movie scenes", "Bust" and "Figures all scales". Even here though, there were some pretty good entries. But most impressive of all were some of the dioramas displaying historicial military events (also complementing the museum exhibits and several historical artefacts to be found there), such as Winter Relax, Alsace 1944, the "Best of Show" from Moson. This large, spinning diorama, complete with well-lit interiors and a completely realistic winter scene of vehicles, soldiers and equipment, was mindblowing to me so we awarded it the BEST OF SHOW by UMS AGRAM award and presented the award to the author Giampiero Bianchi. “

“ There were a lot of people at the event, but we had more than enough time and space to take in the full exhibition. I did it twice, and was glad as I got more out of it the second time. There were a few interesting workshops (one held by our Marko), several booths to buy hobby equipment as well as a plethora of Revel kits and other brands - mostly vehicles, military and civilian. A lot of people came by our humble UMS Agram booth, chatted with us, showed interest, and took our fliers. When the award ceremony finally came around, we had seen everything we needed to see - the exhibtion is not very large, and is easily taken in in an hour or so - and we just wanted to know if we would get any awards, and then go home to Zagreb. Thankfully our work was appreciated, and Marko won two medals and got two commended, Kruno one medal and two commended, and I got commended for my only entry, a Necromancer diorama (keep an eye out for an article on the making of this diorama soon) I had been working on for a month, specifically for the Pivka exhibiton. This added an extra layer of excitement for me I think, as I didn't bring several works I already had at home, but rather put all my eggs in one basket, and just made one work. It was a relief to finish it in time (I glued my last spider the night before), which filled the day with extra good vibes for me, but also left me more disappointed than I expected at not receiving a medal. Although now a few days later, the disappointment is gone, I'm happy with my commended plaque, and with the great day the three of us had in Slovenia, and have already moved on to my next project. Also, we had a great meal at Reset Brewery in Brezice on our way back to Croatia - an awesome place for beer and grill if you find yourself in the area.”

International TableTop Day 2024, Jalžabet

Click for enlarged picture

On June 8, we organized an interactive miniature painting workshop as part of International Tabletop Day 2024 in Jalžabet near Varaždin.

Click for enlarged picture

Our Mario, with the help of the local viking Sebastian, led the miniature painting workshop, which according to the program was supposed to last for two hours, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. However, due to great interest, the duration was extended until almost 5 p.m.

Wednesday's Hobby Corner

Click for enlarged picture

During May and June, on Wednesdays, we also continued with our gatherings in our space at Trg žrtava fašizma 14. It is nice to see that the efforts of our volunteers are paying off and that with each new week the number of users increases - as well as new members of the association who recognize the work Associations. There are more and more requests for one-on-one Workshops, so we have reactivated on that front as well.

    U subotu i nedjelju, 17. i 18.5. održali smo novu vikend radionicu bojanja minijatura. Ovog puta tema je bilo konvertiranje i kitbashanje.

    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.

    Praktični dio Radionice se odvijao na sljedeći način:
    Prvo, predavač sjedi za svojim stolom te objašnjava i demonstrira pojedini korak na svojem primjerku dok polaznici slušaju, gledaju, ali i postavljaju pitanja. Potom, polaznici sjedaju za svoje stolove i primjenjuju stečeno znanje. Predavač potom kruži između polaznika i provjerava kako svakom polazniku ide. Na taj način, može se prilagoditi svakom polazniku ponaosob.

    ANTONI: „As for my latest pair of Fodder models, one carries a flag and the other carries a nest on its shoulders. The flag is made from a thin piece of copper that is clamped around a brass rod, secured with superglue, and then bent to look like fabric in the wind.

    The nest is made of a mixture of green stuff and milliput that I cut lines into. I put two chicken eggs from the Tamiya farm animal set inside and secured them with a drop of superglue. The other models have all sorts of new heads, from simple medieval helmets to gas cylinder caps. To make it easier to see what they are doing, most of them have candles on their caps. “

    MARIO: „As an unexpected addition to my army, I found an old pipe in the apartment and decided to turn it into a cannon. I had the legs from some bird monsters on the sprue and they turned out great for the conversion. My other toadie (which is supposed to be for Brutes) is a small knight and I wanted to give him some creature to stand out on to compensate. I found a stork from Muller, added the head of the pterodactyl I found on the floor of the Sferakon, and redid the legs. There are more things on the bird coming soon, but I have to decide which ones.“

    Gnijezdo je napravljeno od mješavine green stuffa i milliputa u koju sam urezao crte. Unutra sam ubacio dva kokošja jaja iz Tamiya seta domaćih životinja i učvrstio ih kapljicom superljepila. Ostali su modeli dobili svakakve nove glave, od običnih srednjovjekovnih kaciga do poklopaca od plinskih boca. Kako bi bolje vidjeli što rade, većina ih ima svijeće na kapama. “

Moj drugi toadie (koji bi trebao biti za Brutes) je mali vitez i želio sam mu dati neko biće na kojem će se istaknuti za kompenzaciju. Našao sam rodu iz Mullera, dodao glavu pterodaktila kojeg sam našao na podu Sferakona i prepravio noge. Uskoro dolazi još stvari na pticu, ali se moram odlučiti koje.“

    In this article I’ll explain how I scratchbuild crates for the Star Wars Universe, to use on bases or in dioramas. It’s pretty simple and fun, and the required tools and barrier to entry is really low. These are the tools and materials I have at my disposal when I start the build.

    Click for enlarged picture

    My materials are two polystyrene sheets of different thicknesses. I choose the 1mm and the 0.25mm for this build, as well as square tubes of polystyrene 7.9mm X 7.9mm and a ruler. These are produced by Evergreen, and are widely available in hobby stores around the world. The tools I use are plastic cement (preferably with a brush), a hobby knife and a nail file.

    Click for enlarged picture

    I cut off a tip of the square tube, trying to make the length as equal to the width as possible, so 7.9mm. Now I have a cube.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Then I cut out smaller details for panels and parts (called greeblies in Star Wars lingo) from both the thinner and the thicker polystyrene sheets. Here I cut out as many as possible, to give myself options when assembling the crates.

    Click for enlarged picture

    An important aesthetic detail of the Star Wars universe is notches, and so I cut notches into several of my panels, like in this illustration.

    Another stylistic factor of SW is that very few things are symmetrical. So I chose to make all sides of my crates different, varying the panelling and details, using both thick and thin polystyrene for variation in depth. Here are some examples of different sides of my crates.

    Click for enlarged picture

    The larger crate is created only using the polystyrene sheets, and not from the square tube. So I measured and cut out five equal sides (the bottom is open) of the 1mm thick polystyrene and glued them together to form a cube. I used the thinner polystyrene to cut out and create lids for all my crates as well. Everything is glued together using plastic cement which creates a strong bond relatively fast by melting the plastics together. Because of this I now have sturdy crates that I can then use the nail file to polish and clean up - making sure all sides of the bigger crate are flush, that all crates are flat at the bottom, and file down all the hard corners of the crates into more rounded shapes.

    Click for enlarged picture

    I test out the placement of the crates on my base, and make sure the scale works, before I finish the base.

    U ovom ću članku objasniti kako izrađujem sanduke za Star Wars svemir, za korištenje na bazama ili u dioramama. Prilično je jednostavno i zabavno, a potrebni alati i prepreka za ulazak su stvarno niski. Ovo su alati i materijali koje imam na raspolaganju kada počnem graditi.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Moji materijali su dvije polistirenske ploče različitih debljina. Odabrao sam 1 mm i 0,25 mm za ovu konstrukciju, kao i kvadratne cijevi od polistirena 7,9 mm X 7,9 mm i ravnalo. Njih proizvodi Evergreen i dostupni su u hobi trgovinama diljem svijeta. Alati koje koristim su plastični cement (po mogućnosti s četkom), hobi nož i turpija za nokte.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Odrezao sam vrh četvrtaste cijevi, pokušavajući da duljina bude što jednaka širini, dakle 7,9 mm. Sada imam kocku.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Zatim sam izrezao manje detalje za panele i dijelove (koji se u žargonu Ratova zvijezda nazivaju greeblies) i od tanjih i od debljih polistirenskih ploča. Ovdje sam izrezao što je više moguće, kako bih imao mogućnosti pri sastavljanju sanduka.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Važan estetski detalj Star Wars svemira su urezi, pa sam izrezao ureze u nekoliko svojih ploča, kao na ovoj ilustraciji.

    Još jedan stilski faktor SW-a je da je vrlo malo stvari simetrično. Stoga sam odlučio napraviti različite strane svojih sanduka, mijenjajući obloge i detalje, koristeći debeli i tanki polistiren za varijacije u dubini. Evo nekoliko primjera različitih strana mojih sanduka.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Veći sanduk izrađen je samo od polistirenskih ploča, a ne od četvrtaste cijevi. Tako sam izmjerio i izrezao pet jednakih stranica (dno je otvoreno) polistirena debljine 1 mm i zalijepio ih da formiraju kocku. Koristio sam tanji polistiren za izrezivanje i izradu poklopaca za sve svoje sanduke. Sve je zalijepljeno plastičnim cementom koji relativno brzo stvara čvrstu vezu topljenjem plastike. Zbog toga sada imam čvrste sanduke koje zatim mogu upotrijebiti turpiju za poliranje i čišćenje - pazeći da su sve strane većeg sanduka u ravnini, da su sve sanduke ravne na dnu i isturpijam sve tvrde kutove sanduka u zaobljenije oblike.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Prije nego što dovršim bazu, testiram položaj sanduka na svojoj bazi i uvjeravam se da vaga radi.

    ANTONI: „My cult, Feast of Charybdis, is based on one or two of these Scuttlers (my plan is to make only one) that jump out of the mud, i.e. deployment is anywhere on the board and they have to make a charge. Also, their melee must end so that they or the target end up out of action, so the fight repeats until someone dies. The cult now allows all units to bury and jump out from turn to turn. I want it to end up looking like a walking island that rose out of the mud, so the top next to the tower will have some vegetation, and everything else will be muddy.

    The second unit I worked on is the blackpowder Fodder. They are the most numerous unit in Turnip (12) and rely on having as many of them as possible at all times. My idea is for them to look unmistakably like line infantry, but each one has a gimmick that sets them apart from the others, e.g. an underwater mine for a head, a barrel with a relic on its back. Since they consider the radish a sacred manifestation of "Root", their uniforms will be a pale purple, their helmets and weapons rusty.“

    MARIO: „This week, I did some minor converting as well as finishing work on the Proboscis which I managed to prime as well.“

    Naša ekipa se sprema za nastup na Turnip28 turniru pod nazivom H.R.E.N.28 u Sloveniji u srpnju. Ana, Mario, Domagoj, Seb i Antoni slažu svoje vojske i farbaju, a mi ih pratimo na njihovom putu!

    ANTONI: „Moj kult, Feast of Charybdis, bazira se na jednom do dva ovakva Scuttlera (moj plan je samo jednog napravit) koji iskaču iz blata, tj. deployment je bilo gdje na boardu i moraju napravit charge. Također, njihov melee mora završiti tako da oni ili meta završe out of action, znači fight se ponavlja dok netko ne pogine. Kult sada dozvoljava svim jedinicama da se iz turna u turn zakopavaju i iskaču. Želim da mi na kraju izgleda kao hodajući otočić koji se podigao iz blata, pa će vrh pored tornja imati malo vegetacije, a sve ostalo će biti blatno.“

    Drugi unit na kojem sam radio su blackpowder Fodder. Oni su najmnogobrojnija jedinica u Turnipu (12) i oslanjaju se na to da ih je što više u svakom trenutku. Moja ideja je da nedvojbeno izgledaju kao line infantry, ali da svaki ima neki gimmick koji ga razlikuje od drugih npr. podvodna mina umjesto glave, bačva s relikvijom na leđima. S obzirom da smatraju rotkvicu svetom manifestacijom "Roota", odore će im biti blijede ljubičaste boje, kacige i oružja zahrđala.“

    MARIO: „Ovaj tjedan malo sam konvertirao, ali i dovršio Proboscisa kojeg sam čak i prajmao.“

    UMS "Agram" je ove godine na svom štandu u subotu 10.5. organizirao interaktivne Back to Basics radionice bojanja minijatura prilagođene svim uzrastima (od 8-99). Radionice za do tri polaznika su u trajanju od sat vremena.

    Prijave nisu bile potrebne već po principu first come, first served. U pauzama između radionica, naši volonteri pokazivali su i demonstrirali razne minijaturističke tehnike.
