  	In this series of articles, we will follow our Goran, Kruno and Marko in the making of a diorama set in New York / Gotham in the mid-1980s. Diorama is being built as part of a new UMS "Agram" project called Agram Group Build, which was created after the trio discussed joint projects to be done on Wednesdays and how cool it would be to gather more people to work on something together… This gave birth to the idea of Group Builds... The idea is for everyone to do something on each of these three projects - the main rule (except that there are no rules) is not to mess with other people's work. That we all participate and make some kind of Frankenstein monster ...
  
  	  
  
  	KRUNO: After the obligatory introductory lemonade, I tried designing a window for a diorama. I tried to keep the proportions as in the pictures, and Marko forgot (aha!) to print the blueprints. That's why I used an unusual technique with a ruler on a mobile phone.. Satisfied with the result.
  
  	  
  
  	After designing, we threw ourselves into building… I assembled half of a Mini Art garbage container. I gave up mid way due to home chores… handed over Marko to Goran and went to self-register…
  
  	  
  
  	GORAN: Immediately after Kruno's departure, I started to remove the plastic gas bottles from the frame (sprue). In cooperation with Marko, I successfully completed this activity on one example, while at the same time he also successfully mastered the challenging assignment on a smaller copy - in my own case, I attribute this to running training, after which I was quite exhausted. All in all, a slow but promising start, I look forward to continuing the collaboration.
  
  	  
  
  	MARKO: What to say that my esteemed colleagues haven't said before. In parallel with Kruno, I assembled a bucket and a garbage container. With a little more success (aha, Kruno, back at ya!) Because I finished both the bucket and the container.
  
  	  
  
  	When Kruno fled and Goran came, we continued our work by assembling the gas cylinders. One bigger and one smaller.
  
  	  
  
  	Feel free to contact us here if you are interested! We are every Wednesday from 8 pm to 10 pm in KD ZZTK on Trg žrtava fašizma 14.

Da svi sudjelujemo i napravimo nekakvo frankensteinovo čudo...
  
  	  
  
  	KRUNO: Nakon obavezne uvodne limunade, okušao sam se u dizajniranju prozora za dioramu. Trudio sam se zadržati omjere kakvi su na slikama, a Marko je zaboravio (aha!) isprintati slike. Zato sam koristio neobičnu tehniku ravnalom po mobitelu… zadovoljan rezultatom.
  
  	  
  
  	Nakon projektiranja bacili smo se u izradu… sklopio sam pola kontejnera za smeće tvrtke Mini Art. Odustao sam na pola zbog kućnih obaveza… predao Marka Goranu i otišao se samopopisati…
  
  	  
  
  	GORAN: Netom nakon Kruninog odlaska, krenuo sam skidati plastične plinske boce sa okvira (engl. sprue). Ovu aktivnost sam u suradnji s Markom na jednom primjerku uspješno priveo kraju, dočim je on istovremeno na manjem primjerku uspješno isto tako savladao izazovno slaganje - ovo u vlastitom slučaju pripisujem odrađenom treningu trčanja nakon kojeg sam bio poprilično iscrpljen. Sve u svemu, polagan, ali obećavajuć početak, veselim se nastavku suradnje.
  
  	  
  
  	MARKO: Što reći, a da kolege nisu već rekli prije. Paralelno sa Krunom, slagao sam kantu i kontejner za smeće. Sa malo više uspjeha (aha, Krunom, back at ya!) jer sam završio i kantu i kontejner.
  
  	  
  
  	Kad je Kruno zbrisao, a Goran došao, nastavili smo posao sklapanjem plinskih boca. Jedna veća i jedna manja.

  	In this series of articles, we will follow our Goran, Kruno and Marko in the making of a diorama set in New York / Gotham in the mid-1980s. Diorama is being built as part of a new UMS "Agram" project called Agram Group Build, which was created after the trio discussed joint projects to be done on Wednesdays and how cool it would be to gather more people to work on something together… This gave birth to the idea of Group Builds... By the end of the year, probably three projects (diorama, some figure and some bust) will be launched so whenever you come and whatever your preference might be, you will have something to do. The idea is for everyone to do something on each of these three projects - the main rule (except that there are no rules) is not to mess with other people's work. That we all participate and make some kind of Frankenstein monster ...
  
  	Given that we still don’t know anything about finances in 2021 from the City at the moment, the trio decided to start with a diorama (since it doesn’t require additional investment - which the figure and bust require).
  
  	MARKO: Since September, we have been making a diorama from the picture. In short: the end of the 20th century, something between New York and Gotham. Lots of different materials - concrete, brick, stone, metal, plastic, wood ... studded with details such as air conditioning, electricity distribution and various garbage, bins and the like on the floor. Scale 1/35 or 54mm. For now, we have no plans to put up figures, but you never know ... Basically, it looks similar to the Chestnut Ink template from the picture ... After a couple of brain storming meetings, we came up with a rough outline for our project.

  	S obzirom da trenutno i dalje ne znamo nista o financijama u 2021 od Grada, trojac je odlučio krenuti sa dioramom ( s obzirom da ona ne zahtjeva dodatna ulaganja - što figura i bista zahtijevaju).
  
  	MARKO: Od rujna smo krenuli sa izradom diorame sa slike. Ukratko: kraj 20.stoljeća, nešto između New Yorka i Gothama. Puno različitih materijala - beton, cigla, kamen, metal, plastika, drvo... načičkat detaljima poput klima, razvoda struje te raznog smeća, kanti i sličnog na podu. Mjerilo 1/35 odn 54mm. Za sad nemamo planove stavljat figure, ali nikad ne znaš... Uglavnom, da zgleda slično kao i predložak od Chestnut Inka sa slike... Nakon par brain storming sastanaka došli smo do okvirnog nacrta za naš projekt

  	Radionica bojanja minijatura - bista Hellboya se održala tijekom vikenda 18.-19.09.2021. u kino dvorani Zagrebačke zajednice tehničke kulture na Trgu žrtava fašizma 14. Oba dana radionica je trajala od 10 - 18h i sveukupno je bilo 10 polaznika koji su bojali bistu Hellboya.
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	Radionica se provodila kroz dva dana (cijeli vikend). Glavni fokus ovih predavanja bit će bojanje demonske kože, tekstura grubog tekstila odnosno kožnih dijelova te specijalnih efekata poput OSL. Time vođeni, voditelji su izabrali prikladnu bistu Hellboya. U sklopu radionice, korištene su akrilne boje kao i uljni efekti.
  
  	Predavanja su bila prilagođena tako da su voditelji posvetili jednako vrijeme svim polaznicima i moglii se prilagoditi svim kategorijama minijaturista (od početnika do malo naprednijih). 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 za svojim individualnim stolovima primjenjuju stečeno znanje. Ana i Marko kruže između polaznika i provjeravaju kako svakom polazniku ide. Na taj način, mogu se prilagoditi svakom polazniku ponaosob.
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	Radionica je uključivala sljedeće tematske cjeline:
  
  	1. Postavljanje biste na bazu
  
  	2. Pripremni radovi na bisti te temeljna boja
  
  	3. Bojanje demonske kože
  
  	4. Kožne/tekstilne površine kaputa
  
  	5. Specijalni efekti: OSL akrilima 
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	Tijekom trajanja radionice primjenjivale su se sve propisane EPIDEMIOLOŠKE MJERE:
  
  	Ispravno nošenje maski je bilo obavezno.
  
  	Dezinficijens je bio na raspolaganju svima.
  
  	Od ove godine koristimo kameru i projekcijsko platno kako bismo pokazali rad predavača svim polaznicima bez potrebe da se oni okupljaju oko predavača što omogućava socijalnu distancu.
  
  	Svaki polaznik imao je svoj stol koji je bio razmaknut propisanim razmakom.

• Adding texture to a pre-made tabletop board

  	In preparation for a multiplayer scenario, I redid some surfaces on a plastic modular gaming board.
  
  	The board had the texture of cobbled streets, but there were a few surfaces that were completely textured for some reason. In addition, modern manholes are modelled on the board, which do not correspond to the world in which the scenario will take place. I decided to cover these parts with my own stone slab texture.
  
  	  
  
  	I cut a large amount of rectangles out of thick paper to act as stone slabs.
  
  	  
  
  	I glued the boards one by one with PVA glue (drvofix) to the places that needed to be textured. Drvofix is cheap, dries more slowly so I have plenty of time to set the boards, and the paper sticks well to the plastic.
  
  	  
  
  	When the glue dried I went with a layer of diluted PVA over all the paper stone slabs to impregnate the paper with glue. This makes it tougher, it will be even harder to peel off and it will absorb water less. The latter is desira-ble because when it comes to painting I will use techniques with a lot of water.
  
  	  
  
  	When everything was completely dry, I sprayed the whole board with uneven matte black, white and (mostly) gray spray.
  
  	  
  
  	Several layers of dirty brown and greenish washes went over this after drying. I applied this with a sponge be-cause it is a large area and should have looked smeared and neglected.
  
  	  
  
  	Finally, the outer edge of the board is painted matte black.

  	U pripremi za jedan multiplayer scenarij doradila sam kupovnu plastičnu modularnu tablu za igranje.
  
  	Tabla ima teksturu kamenih ulica, no postojalo je nekoliko površina koja su bile potpuno bez teksture iz nekog razloga. Osim toga, na tabli su izmodelirani moderni šahtovi, koji ne odgovaraju svijetu u kojem će se sce-narij održati. Te sam dijelove odlučila prekriti vlastitom teksturom kamenih ploča.
  
  	  
  
  	Iz debelog papira izrezala sam poveliku količinu pravokutnika koje će glumiti kamene ploče.
  
  	  
  
  	PVA ljepilom (drvofix) sam zalijepila ploče jednu po jednu na mjesta koja je trebalo teksturirati. Drvofix je jeftin, sporije se suši pa imam dovoljno vremena namještati ploče, i dobro lijepi papir na plastiku.
  
  	  
  
  	Kad se ljepilo osušilo prošla sam sa slojem razvodjnjenog PVA preko svih papirnatih kamenih ploča da se papir impregnira ljepilom. Od toga postane žilaviji, još teže će se odlijepiti i slabije će upijati vodu. Ovo posljednje je poželjno jer kad dođem do bojanja koristit ću tehnike s puno vode.
  
  	  
  
  	Kad je sve bilo potpuno suho posprejala sam cijelu tablu nejednolično mat crnim, bijelim i (najviše)sivim sprejem.
  
  	  
  
  	Preko toga je nakon sušenja išlo nekoliko slojeva prljavih smeđih i zelenkastih washeva. To sam nanosila spužvom jer je velika površina i trebalo je izgledati zmazano i zapušteno.
  
  	  
  
  	Na kraju, vanjski rub ploče obojan je u mat crnu.
