Agram Group Build #Project2 – part 1.

Marko Paunović, 2nd July 2025

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.

After a long time of this project "cooking", and after successfully completing three projects (Full Tilt game boards with figures - #Project4, busts of musketeers - #Project3 and busts of Iron Maiden Eddie - #Project6), it's time to start with the dioramas. We had two projects to choose from. #Project1 - a diorama of New York/Gotham in a scale of 1:35 and #Project2 - a diorama of a flying dieselpunk island.

Since we managed to find an adequate set for making a flying platform in Carta, the decision fell on #Project2. We used the Necromunda Platforms and Walkways set. We glued two platforms one on top of the other in opposite directions, thus obtaining the construction of an island.

We used the walkways to expand the surface of the platform and added a 40k container to it, on which we cut windows on one side. In this way, we will make a burger joint (or some such fast food facility) out of the container.

While some of us had fun making the island, others started looking for bits that we could use in the diorama. As this project has been in development for four years, over time we managed to acquire the appropriate bits that now needed to be found first. We found garbage containers, bottles, demijohns, canisters, buckets, garbage bags, but also a few 3D printed actors – robots in various poses.

A lot of these parts required extra work – removing unnecessary 40k insignia. We left skulls here and there… every burger joint should have some poison in its barrels…

In addition to the above parts, we also found satellite dishes and welding gas tanks and assembled them.

Next time we'll start with creating the interior of the container, or rather, creating a kitchen, but maybe also creating high beds where the boss will grow vegetables and spices for his burgers.

	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.

	  

	As we announced last time, we started checking the electronic components. Dunja brought us micro LEDs in various colors: cool and warm white, green, red and blue. The first step was to see how to connect the LEDs to the power supply. Unfortunately, it was not successful, because obviously LEDs of different colors use different voltages and consume different amounts of current, so further testing will be needed to determine what the exact values are so that Marko can calculate the resistors that are apparently needed to stabilize the system. Namely, like this, some LEDs shine very brightly while others are quite dim, and some do not shine at all.

	  

	Last week, Marko also acquired the vehicles for the diorama – two cars and a truck that we will convert into flying vehicles (Renault, Citroen and the Spanish Sava work truck). To make sure the meetup doesn't go to waste, we tested how the Renault would look with LEDs. There will be two cool white lights at the front, two red lights at the back, and a green one in the cabin on the dashboard.

	  

	In addition, we have made a first draft of the entire diorama (see the introductory image) which finally shows the arrangement of elements and vehicles.

	Od 2021. Udruga za svoje članove organizira i grupne projekte na kojima sudjeluje više članova odjednom. Program pod nazivom Agram Group Build je nastao nakon što su naši članovi srijedama razgovarali o zajedničkim projektima i kako bi bilo zgodno okupiti više ljudi srijedama na našem Hobby kutku srijedom i to oko rada na zajedničkom „nečemu”… Projekt #2 predstavlja dieselpunk dioramu letećeg otoka sa štandom za fast food i nekoliko dokova za leteće automobile, a kao predložak služi nam predivan art Alejandra Burdisija. Glavni efekti na diorami biti će LED rasvjeta, ali i primjena tensegrity principa.

	  

	Kao što smo prošli put najavili, krenuli smo sa provjerama elektroničkih komponenata. Dunja nam je donijela mikro LEDice u raznim bojama, hladna i topla bijela, zelena, crvena i plava. Prvi korak bio je da vidimo kako spojiti LEDice na napajanje. Na žalost nije bilo uspješno, jer očito LEDice raznih boja koriste različiti napon i troše drugačije jakosti struje pa će trebati daljnje testiranje da ustanovimo koje su to točno vrijednosti pa da Marko može proračunati otpornike koji su očito potrebni da ustabile sustav. Naime, ovako, neke LEDice sjaje jako sjajno dok su druge dosta tamne, a neke uopće ne svijetle.

	  

	Proteklog tjedna Marko je nabavio i vozila – automobile i kamion koje ćemo pretvoriti u leteća vozila (Renault, Citroen i španjolski radni kamion Sava). Da baš sve ne propadne, isprobali smo kako bi Renault izgledao sa LEDicama. Naprijed će biti dva hladno bijela svijetla, otraga dva crvena, a u kabini zeleno na instrumentnoj ploči.

	  

	Pored toga, napravili smo i prvi nacrt cijele diorame (vidi uvodnu sliku) na kojoj se konačno vidi i raspored elemenata i vozila.

The main effects on the diorama will be LED lighting, but also the application of the tensegrity principle.

	  

	After a strong start the past two weeks, we continued at the same pace. During the past few weeks of construction, we concluded that working on the island was very awkward, since it could not stand on its own. Therefore, we agreed that the first thing to make was some kind of stand on which the island could be placed while working on it. Kruno decided to make his own stand out of wooden slats. He cut the slats to the desired length, glued them with superglue, and also inserted pins for better support.

	  

	During this time, Marko set about making a rack for growing tomatoes and other herbs and spices that the burger master needs to make his juicy burgers. He used similar methods as he had done the week before to build the kitchen. He got the main shape using plasticard profiles, while he got the ground by modeling DAS clay (which he mixed with a little PVA glue to better adhere to the smooth plasticard.

	  

	Finally, we had to test everything we had made so far, and check how the elements we had made so far worked together, as well as all the characters we would place on the island. One character would be in the kitchen, one (an old sea wolf) would be by the railing, and the third would be sitting on the lower deck, looking into the distance and probably smoking a cigarette… In addition to the human crew, there would also be robots helping the team with the hard work. After checking, we weren’t sure what we were more pleased with, the composition or the fact that the stand was doing its job!

	  

	Next time we'll continue making parts. The burger joint needs a big sign, and maybe we'll even start installing electricity.

	Od 2021. Udruga za svoje članove organizira i grupne projekte na kojima sudjeluje više članova odjednom. Program pod nazivom Agram Group Build je nastao nakon što su naši članovi srijedama razgovarali o zajedničkim projektima i kako bi bilo zgodno okupiti više ljudi srijedama na našem Hobby kutku srijedom i to oko rada na zajedničkom „nečemu”… Projekt #2 predstavlja dieselpunk dioramu letećeg otoka sa štandom za fast food i nekoliko dokova za leteće automobile, a kao predložak služi nam predivan art Alejandra Burdisija. Glavni efekti na diorami biti će LED rasvjeta, ali i primjena tensegrity principa.

	  

	Nakon žestokog starta protekla dva tjedna, nastavili smo u istom tempu. Tijekom izrade proteklih tjedana, zaključili smo da je rad na otoku jako nespretan s obzirom da ne može samostalno stajati. Stoga smo dogovorili da prvo što treba izraditi je nekakvo postolje na koje će se otok moći staviti tijekom rada na njemu. Kruno se odlučio na samoizradu postolja od drvenih letvica. Letvice je odrezao na željene duljine, zalijepio ih superljepilom, ali i provukao pinove radi boljeg držanja.

	  

	Za to vrijeme, Marko se bacio na izradu stalaže za uzgajanje rajčica i ostalog bilja te začina koji su potrebni burgermajstoru za izradu svojih sočnih burgera. Koristio je slične metode kao i tjedan ranije za izradu kuhinje. Glavni oblik je dobio koristeći profile od plasticarda, dok je zemlju dobio modelirajući DAS glinamol (kojeg je malo pomiješao sa PVA ljepilom kako bi se bolje prihvatio za glatki plasticard.

	  

	Za kraj, trebalo je isprobati sve do sada izrađeno, te provjeriti kako kompozicijski funkcioniraju do sada izrađeni elementi kao i svi likovi koje ćemo smjestiti na otok. Jedan lik će biti u kuhinji, jedan (stari morski vuk) uz ogradu, a treći na donjoj palubi sjediti, gledati u daljinu i vjerojatno pušiti cigaretu… Pored ljudske posade, tu će biti i roboti koji ekipi pomažu u teškim poslovima. Nakon provjere, nismo sigurni s čime smo zadovoljniji, kompozicijom ili činjenicom da stalak radi svoj posao!

	  

	Sljedeći put nastavljamo dalje izradu dijelova. Burgerdžinica treba veliki znak, a možda čak i krenemo sa instalacijom struje….

	This time we started making the interior of the container. As we said, the container will house a burger joint. Since the windows are open, what we were doing was the kitchen. The guys divided up the tasks, so Kruno started making the counter and window covers. He made the details out of thin plasticard.

	  

	During that time, Marko started building the kitchen itself. He also first made a double refrigerator out of plasticard, and then continued with the kitchen elements.

	  

	He installed an oven, a large griddle for grilling burgers and a sink in the elements.

	  

	In the end, we connected Kruno's part to Marko's and confirmed that it would be necessary to put in electricity if we want any interior detail to be seen.

Dečki su se podijelili u zadaćama pa je Kruno krenuo sa izradom pulta i poklopaca za prozore. Detalje je izradio od tankog plasticarda.

	  

	Za to se vrijeme Marko bacio na izradu same kuhinje. Također od plasticarda je prvo izradio dvostruki frižider, a onda je nastavio dalje sa kuhinjskim elementima.

	  

	U elemente je postavio pećnicu, veliki rešo za pečenje burgera te sudoper.

	  

	Na kraju smo spojili Krunin dio sa Markovim i potvrdili da će biti potrebno ubaciti struju.

Glavni efekti na diorami biti će LED rasvjeta, ali i primjena tensegrity principa.

Nakon duljeg vremena što se ovaj projekt „kuha“, i nakon uspješno odrađena tri projekta (Full Tilt igraće table sa figurama – #Projekt4, bisti mušketira - #Projekt3 i bisti Iron Maiden Eddija - #Projekt6), vrijeme je da krenemo i sa dioramama. Na izbor smo imali dva projekta. #Projekt1 – diorama New Yorka/Gothama u mjerilu 1:35 i #Projekt2 – diorama letećeg dieselpunk otoka.

S obzirom da smo u Carti uspjeli naći adekvatni set za izradu leteće platforme, odluka je pala na #Projekt2. Iskoristili smo Necromunda set Platforms and Walkways. Dvije platforme smo zalijepili jednu na drugu u suprotnim smjerovima i tako dobili konstrukciju otoka.

Walkwaye smo iskoristili da proširimo površinu platforme i na nju dodali 40k kontejner na kojemu smo na jednoj strani izrezali prozore. Na taj način ćemo od kontejnera napraviti burgerdžinicu (ili neki takav fast food objekt).

Dok se dio nas zabavljao s izradom otoka, drugi su se bacili na potragu za bitsima koje bismo mogli iskoristiti na diorami. Kako je ovaj projekt u razvoju već četvrtu godinu, tijekom vremena smo uspjeli nabaviti odgovarajuće bitseve koje je sada trebalo prvo pronaći. Našli smo kontejnere za smeće, boce, demižone, kanistere, kante, vreće za smeće, ali i nekolicinu 3D isprintanih aktera – robota u raznim pozama.

Dosta tih dijelova zahtjevalo je ekstra posla – micanje nepotrebne 40k insignije. Tu i tamo smo ostavili mrtvačke glave… svaka burgerdžinica treba imati ponešto otrova u bačvama…

Osim navedenih dijelova, našli smo i satelitske antene te tankove plina za zavarivanje te smo iste složili.

Sljedeći puta krećemo sa izradom interijera kontejnera odn. izradom kuhinje, ali možda i izradom visokih gredica gdje će šef uzgajati povrće i začine za svoje burgere.
