  	The end of this year 2024 has come, in which after the chaotic 2023, things have returned to normal again, and in which, in addition to traditional programs, we introduced two new programs and published two new books! The first program builds on the 2023 partnership with Back to Basics and consists of miniature coloring workshops for the youngest that we conducted in the City of Zagreb Libraries, while the second program is the Agram Lego Section. Read about all of this, as well as the two new books, below.

  	Another novelty is that since 2024, UMS Agram has its own Instagram profile . During 2024, we published around 150 posts and gathered almost 200 followers!
  
  	  
  
  	But let's go back to the beginning of the year, which, like every year, began with our traditional Exhibition...

  	We started the year with preparations for our annual Miniatures and Models Exhibition, during which we also organized a weekend miniature painting workshop and, for the fifth time this term, our international miniature painting competition, the Black Queen Hobby and Miniature Painting Competition. As always, the Exhibition presented a cross-section of the work of the Association, its members, participants of its courses and workshops, and members of the Miniature Painters Croatia FB group. In a large number of showcases, there were numerous miniatures for tabletop strategy games, board games, and an entire showcase was dedicated to award-winning exhibits from previous miniature competitions. Several showcases were dedicated to projects that the Association has been implementing for 21 years, such as the UMS "Agram" Library and Reading Room, the Spatial Model Making Workshop, and the Miniature Painting Workshop. The works of our member Ana Polanšćak had a special place in the showcases.
  
  	  
  
  	Exhibition of Miniatures and Tabletop Scenery Agram 2024 was held this year from 22.2. to 10.03. 2024. The exhibition was held on Wednesday 21.2. in the afternoon and was attended by a large number of members and friends of the Association who exhibited their works.

  	This year we hosted a special exhibitor, Gardens of Hecate. A Zagreb-based craft that makes and paints miniatures and terrains for tabletop strategy games.
  
  	  
  
  	During the first weekend of the Exhibition, February 24-25, we held the 18th annual international miniature painting competition Black Queen Hobby and Miniature Painting Competition!
  
  	  
  
  	As contestants arrived and registered for the competition, our hardworking staff photographed all the exhibits before sorting them into categories and carefully placing them in glass cases.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	WARGAMING DEMOS
  
  	  
  
  	This year, for the first time, we organized demonstrations of the tabletop strategy games Forbidden Psalm and The Doomed. Over the course of both days, a handful of games were played on beautiful terrain!
  
  	  
  
  	SELLERS' COURT
  
  	During the weekend our sponsors were present with their sellers' booths: The Bigbear Miniatures, The Zone Miniatures i Carta Magica.
  
  	  
  
  	MINIATURE PAINTING DEMONSTRATIONS
  
  	The Vladimir Horvat Gallery space allows for workshops to be held over the weekend. Therefore, we organized three demonstration workshops over the weekend. This year, the workshops were held in a cinema hall. The lecturers' work was recorded with a camera and projected onto a projection screen in the hall.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	BACK TO BASICS PAINTING WORKSHOPS FOR THE YOUNGEST
  
  	  
  
  	Throughout the weekend, we held our new workshops for the youngest, in which our youngest participants painted their first miniatures.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	SPEED PAINTING CONTEST
  
  	  
  
  	On Sunday afternoon, a miniature speed painting competition was held. Participants had 90 minutes to paint one miniature. Thanks to our sponsor Hobby Chest, who provided us with a large donation of painting materials from AK Interactive, we organized a miniature speed painting competition.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	With that, we came to the very end of this wonderful weekend and all that remained was the distribution of prizes and awards to the winners.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	OPEN MINIATURE PAINTING WORKSHOPS
  
  	Over the next two weeks, our volunteers held open miniature painting workshops on weekdays from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Miniature painting workstations were set up where our visitors could paint miniatures we had prepared (or their own if they had brought them) using our materials and tools.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	On Wednesday 06.03.2024. the annual session of the Assembly was held, where we determined the guidelines for work in 2024..

  	During the second weekend of the Exhibition, March 4-5, we organized a MINITURE PAINTING WORKSHOP – Frostgrave.
  
  	  
  
  	The workshop was held over two days (the whole weekend) and participants painted five different figures for the Frostgrave game, which can also be used for DND sessions. The focus of these lectures is 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 received 1 wizard (male/female), 3 warriors (2 male and 1 female or 2 female and 1 male) and 1 male barbarian. 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 are adapted so that the leaders devote equal time to all participants and can be adapted to all categories of miniaturists (from beginners to slightly advanced).
  
  	  
  
  	
  
  	During the weekend, May 4th-5th, we organized a MINITURE PAINTING WORKSHOP – Bretonnia.
  
  	The workshop was held over two days and the participants painted a Bretonnian knight on horseback for the tabletop strategy game Warhammer The Old World. The focus of these lectures was painting multiple miniatures at once, but the knowledge from the workshop is equally applicable to painting armies for board games and collections of figures for pen&paper RPGs. Each participant assembled their own knight with a spear, shield and ornamental helmet as well as a horse according to their own wishes. The workshop presented paints and accessories, figure preparation, several techniques for painting miniatures from basic to advanced, as well as techniques for applying stickers, and finally basing the figure. Water-based acrylic paints were used as part of the workshop..
  
  	  
  
  	The workshop included the following thematic units: 1. Planning and preparation and assembly of miniatures 2. Processing miniatures before painting 3. Basic colors 4. Shading and highlighting techniques 5. Placing matte stickers 6. Freehand basics
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	During the weekend, 21-22.9.2024, we held a new weekend miniature painting workshop called Dragon Busts. Guided by this, the organizers selected suitable dragon busts by the famous miniaturist Karol Rudyk, which all participants painted. Each participant received a unique bust from his set of busts limited to 100 copies. As part of the workshop, acrylic paints were primarily used, but oil effects could also be used.
  
  	  
  
  	The participants learned how to properly prepare a resin figure/bust before painting and then made an inner base for the frame from balsa, into which they placed their dragons at the very end of the workshop. This time, each participant was able to explore various effects through their painting at their own discretion. The choice of “color scheme” or whether they want to use OSL effects or anything else is left to the participant.

  	In 2024, we started a new program called Back to Basics miniature painting workshops for the youngest in collaboration with the Zagreb City Libraries. We held a total of four workshops during October and November with 29 participants, our youngest fellow citizens.

  	As part of our Agram Lego Section, we have been organizing a series of expert lectures related to our current group LEGO project since 2024. Our experts lead lectures in various fields such as architecture, mechanical engineering, naval architecture, sculpture, etc. In 2024, we covered the topic of Hogwarts – sacral and fortification architecture of the Middle Ages.

  	As part of this UMS "Agram" project called Agram Group Build which was created after Kruno and Marko talked about joint projects on Wednesdays and how cool it would be to bring more people together on Wednesdays to work on something together. From that came the idea of Group Builds. In 2024 we worked on a series of busts of Musketeers .

  	Wednesday's Hobby Corner is conceived as a collection of free activities in the space used by UMS "Agram" during Wednesday evening sessions. Most activities are open to everyone, with some benefits for UMS "Agram" members, such as storing miniatures in display cases between sessions or borrowing books from our extensive Library.

  	During November and December, we organized a program called Advent in Agram, which consisted of interactive workshops on making Christmas balls and shorter demonstration workshops during December. Interactive workshops involve participants making their own models according to instructions and under the supervision of a leader. No registration is required for the demonstration workshops in December, and they consist of a series of separate topics that cover model-making methods, effects, and materials related to the winter period, such as making snow, ice, and the like, which the lecturer demonstrates from behind the desk. As part of Advent, we organized:
  
  	Miniature Photography Workshop
  
  	  
  
  	Demonstrations In Making Winter Terrain 
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Workshop for making Christmas decoration in shape of a Hobbit Hole 
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Secret Santa
  
  	  
  
  	Bits and Miniatures Fleamarket
  
  	  
  
  	APPEARANCES AT COMPETITIONS, CONVENTIONS, EXHIBITIONS AND OTHER EVENTS
  
  	Kup Zagreb
  
  	  
  
  	The Zagreb Cup, a model-making competition organized by ZMMS, was held this year over two days on May 18-19, 2024, at Family Mall. The organizer asked us to participate by presenting our programs and projects, which we were happy to do.
  
  	  
  
  	Svet v Malem, Pivka, Slovenija
  
  	  
  
  	Svet v Malem, a model-making competition, 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, came with us, for whom this was also the first competition abroad in which he participated. In addition to the competition, as is tradition, our Slovenian partner Back to Basics and Miniatures.si organized demonstration workshops on painting miniatures. Our Marko was also invited to hold one – on quick painting of the Bretonnian Man-at-Arms.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	“First of all, the venue is perfect for a miniature convention. The Military History Park in Pivka has an interesting story, and learning about its historical and geographical importance, as well as Yugoslav military history in their museum, was certainly interesting, although for me the best part of the place were the large planes, helicopters, tanks and cars hanging or standing around the venue. This provides a perfect complement and contrast to all the tiny miniatures on display. The exhibition mostly consisted of military and historical vehicles, dioramas or displays, but the three of us entered in the slightly smaller categories of "Wargaming", "What If (Sci-fi)", "Movie Scenes", "Bust" and "Figures of All Scales". Even here, there were some pretty good entries. But most impressive of all were some of the dioramas depicting historical military events (also complementing the museum exhibits and several historical artifacts housed there), such as Winter Relax, Alsace 1944, a "Best of Show" from Moson. This large rotating diorama, complete with well-lit interiors and a completely realistic winter scene of vehicles, soldiers and equipment, was so impressive to me that we also awarded it the BEST OF SHOW by UMS AGRAM award and presented it to the author, Giampiero Bianchi.”
  
  	  
  
  	International TableTop Day 2024, Jalžabet
  
  	  
  
  	On June 8th, we organized an interactive miniature painting workshop as part of International Tabletop Day 2024 in Jalžabet near Varaždin.
  
  	Our Mario, with the help of local Viking Sebastian, led a miniature painting workshop that was supposed to last two hours, from 10 am to 12 pm. However, due to great interest, the duration was extended to almost 5 pm.
  
  	  
  
  	PSMK 2024, Budapest, Hungary
  
  	  
  
  	In parallel with the workshop in Jalžabet, our second delegation headed to Budapest to represent UMS Agram at the international model-making competition PSMK 2024. Our team, Kruno and Marko, headed there on Friday and stayed until Sunday, even though the competition itself was a one-day event.
  
  	Upon arrival in Budapest, we joined the miniaturist team for a welcome dinner with Hungarian specialties. Throughout the weekend, it was a pleasure to exchange experiences and knowledge with world-class figures such as Margot Crombeecke, Chloe Plattner, James Zhou and Miklos Bute.
  
  	  
  
  	On Saturday morning, we arrived at the competition and set up our stand (which later won a “We Like It” souvenir from the organizers). We then placed the exhibits in the corresponding categories and the competition could begin.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	After a short deliberation, the decision to award the BEST OF SHOW by UMS AGRAM was easy to award to Chloe Plattner's wonderful display.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Kamping Kitbash
  
  	
  
  	Kamping Kitbash is a three-day event dedicated to indie board games and miniatures making. This is the first edition of Kamping Kitbash, and it took place at BROEI - a converted old factory near the center of Ghent, and was organized by Nerdlab, a local collective dedicated to promoting the fusion of fine art and technology.
  
  	
  
  	Throughout the weekend, there were large tables where we could all model and paint miniatures, as well as piles of figures, parts, paints, tools, brushes and kitbashing supplies.
  
  	There was at least one workshop every day of the Kitbashing Camp. On the first day, Helge (@wilhelminiatures) led a workshop on polymer clay modeling, and Terran (@conjuredcraft) on face modeling for beginners. On Saturday, there was a workshop on experimental painting led by our own Ana, and Arjan (@atelier.ag) on silicone mold making and resin casting of miniatures. On Sunday, Tara (@manglingminis) had a workshop on tabletop game design.
  
  	Modelling Cup Crna Kraljica 2024
  
  	On 05.10.2024. we performed at the Black Queen organized by HUVM. In addition to the presentation stand, our members competed and achieved notable success (all our competitors won at least a medal). Congratulations!
  
  	
  
  	XIII DAYS OF TECHNICAL CULTURE 2024
  
  	On October 18th and 19th, 2024, we participated in the XIII Days of Technical Culture organized by the Zagreb Technical Culture Association.
  
  	
  
  	On Friday, we held three demonstrations of model-making and miniaturist techniques (Ana, Marko and Sebastian) and participated in the Forum organized by SUPTK and DPTK with a presentation about the miniaturist and model-making workshops we organize.
  
  	
  
  	On Saturday, after the official opening ceremony, we presented a new book published by UMS Agram - Miniaturism in the post-Corona era and held two series of Back to Basics workshops. The participants painted their first figures! After both days, it's time for our volunteers to have some well-deserved relaxation!
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	MODELMANIA @ FOTO VIDEO SHOW ZAGREB 2024
  
  	26.10. we performed at Model Mania Zagreb with the presentation of our programs:

  	VISITS TO EXHIBITIONS, COMPETITIONS AND OTHER EVENTS
  
  	KZMZ Train Exhibition
  
  	On Friday, May 24th, at the invitation of the organizers of KZMZ, we visited the Train Exhibition held at the Family Mall.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	FESTUNG CUP in Slavonski Brod
  
  	Our Vanja Ilijev performed at this year's FESTUNG CUP in Slavonski Brod.
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	National championship of Slovenia in plastic modeling 
  
  	On Saturday, 16.11.2024. in Ljubljana, the Slovenian National Championship in plastic modeling was held. Our delegation performed in several categories.
  
  	  
  
  	It was a special pleasure for us to present and give away several copies of our latest issue to our partners and friends from Back to Basics!
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Big Panda and Tiny Dragon, Character Drawing Workshop 
  
  	
  
  	During this year's Interliber, James Norbury, author of the books about the Big Panda and the Tiny Dragon, held several different events and meetings with readers. On Friday, November 15th, I had the opportunity to participate in a workshop on drawing characters from his books. Since James is an illustrator and his works include abstract landscapes, fantasy art, SF and cyberpunk comics, drawings and graphics, it was interesting for me to see how the panda and dragon characters are created using the technique of Japanese Zen painters.
  
  	ARTICLES IN MINIATURISM AND MODEL ART
  
  	  
  
  	And finally, our most comprehensive program should be mentioned. The online publication of articles from miniatures and model making that began in 2020 continued in the following years, including in 2024, with over 50 published articles this year. Hereby we would like to thank all members for their effort and commitment in making miniatures and models, but especially for taking the time to photograph work in progress and writing articles for our site.
  
  	B O O K S    P U B L I S H E D   B Y   U M S   „A G R A M“
  
  	  
  
  	During 2024, we published two books. The first is a Collection of Articles on Miniaturism and Modeling, the second part of which is called Miniaturism in the Post-Corona Era. The second book is the second, expanded Back to Basics edition of the Miniature Painting for Beginners manual.
  
  	UMS „Agram“ wishes you a happy New Year! See you in 2025!

  	Došao je kraj i ovoj 2024. godini u kojoj su se nakon kaotične 2023. opet stvari vratile koliko toliko u normalu i u kojoj smo pored tradicionalnih programa uveli dva nova programa te izdali dvije nove knjige! Prvi program se nadovezuje na partnerstvo iz 2023. sa Back to Basics i sastoji se od radionica bojanja minijatura za najmlađe koje smo provodili u Knjižnicama Grada Zagreba, dok je drugi program Agram Lego Sekcija. O svemu tome, kao i o dvama novim knjigama, pročitajte u nastavku.

  	Godinu smo započeli pripremama za našu godišnju Izložbu minijatura i maketa tijekom koje smo organizirali i vikend radionicu bojanja minijatura te po peti puta u ovom terminu naše međunarodno natjecanje u bojanju minijatura Black Queen Hobby and Miniature Painting Competition. Kao i uvijek, Izložba je prikazivala presjek rada Udruge, njenih članova, polaznika njenih tečajeva i radionica te članova FB grupe Miniature Painters Croatia. U velikom broju vitrina našle su se brojne minijature za stolne strateške igre, igre na tabli, a cijela jedna vitrina posvećena je nagrađenim izlošcima sa prethodnih minijaturističkih natjecanja. Nekoliko vitrina bilo je posvećeno projektima koje Udruga već 21 godinu provodi poput Knjižnice i čitaonice UMS „Agram“, Radionice za izradu prostornih maketa i Radionice bojanja minijatura. Posebno mjesto u vitrinama imali su radovi naše članice Ane Polanšćak.
  
  	  
  
  	Izložba minijatura i maketa "Agram 2024" održala se ove godine od 22.2. do 10.03. 2024. Postavljanje izložbe je održano u srijedu 21.2. u popodnevnim satima i sudjelovao je velik broj članova kao i prijatelja Udruge koji su izlagali svoje radove.

  	Ove smo godine ugostili posebnog izlagača Gardens of Hecate. Zagrebački obrt koji se bavi izradom i bojanjem minijatura i terena za stolne strateške igre.
  
  	  
  
  	Tijekom prvog vikenda Izložbe, 24.-25.02.,održali smo 18. godišnje međunarodno natjecanje u bojanju minijatura Black Queen Hobby and Miniature Painting Competition!
  
  	  
  
  	Kako su natjecatelji pristizali i prijavljivali se na natjecanje, naše vrijedno osoblje je fotografiralo sve izloške prije nego li su ih rasporedili po kategorijama i pažljivo ih postavili u staklene vitrine.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	WARGAMING POKAZNE PARTIJE
  
  	  
  
  	Ove godine po prvi puta smo organizirali demonstracije stolnih strateških igara Forbidden Psalm i The Doomed. Tijekom oba dana odigran je pregršt partija na predivnim terenima!
  
  	  
  
  	PRODAJNI KUTAK
  
  	Tijekom vikenda ugostili smo naše sponzore sa njihovim prodajnim štandovima: The Bigbear Miniatures, The Zone Miniatures i Carta Magica.
  
  	  
  
  	OGLEDNE RADIONICE BOJANJA MINIJATURA
  
  	Prostor galerije Vladimira Horvata omogućuje održavanje radionica tijekom vikenda. Stoga smo tijekom vikenda organizirali tri ogledne radionice. Ove godine radionice su se održavale u kino dvorani.

  	Tijekom cijelog vikenda održavali smo naše nove radionice za najmlađe u kojima su naši najmlađi polaznici bojali svoje prve minijature.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	NATJECANJE U BRZOM BOJANJU MINIJATURA
  
  	  
  
  	U nedjelju popodne održano je i natjecanje u brzom bojanju minijatura. Sudionici su imali 90 minuta vremena da obojaju jednu minijaturu. Zahvaljujući našem sponzoru Hobby Chest, koji nam je osigurao veliku donaciju materijala za bojanje od AK Interactive, organizirali smo jedno natjecanje u brzom bojanju minijatura prema sljedećim pravilima:
  
  	- natjecatelji imaju 90 minuta da oboje minijaturu
  
  	- svi natjecatelji bojaju istu (isti tip) minijaturu
  
  	- osigurali smo boje od AK Interactive
  
  	- osigurali smo kistove od AK Interactive.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	S time smo došli do samoga kraja ovog predivnog vikenda i sve što je preostalo je bila podjela nagrada i priznanja pobjednicima.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	OTVORENE RADIONICE BOJANJA MINIJATURA
  
  	Tijekom naredna dva tjedna, naši volonteri su radnim danima od 16:00 do 20:00, držali otvorene radionice bojanja minijatura. Postavljene su radne stanice za bojanje minijatura na kojoj su naši posjetitelji mogli bojati minijature koje smo priredili (ili svoje ukoliko su ih donijeli) koristeći naše materijale i alate.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	U srijedu 06.03.2024. održana je godišnja sjednica Skupštine na kojoj smo odredili smjernice rada u 2024..

  	Tijekom drugog vikenda Izložbe, 04.-05.03., organizirali smo RADIONICU BOJANJA MINIJATURA – Frostgrave.
  
  	  
  
  	Radionica se provodila kroz dva dana (cijeli vikend) i polaznici su bojali pet različitih figura za igru Frostgrave, a koje se mogu koristiti i za DND sessione. Fokus ovih predavanja 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 dobio 1 wizarda (muški/ženski), 3 warriora (2 muška i 1 ženski ili 2 ženska i 1 muški) te 1 muškog barbariana. 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 korištene su akrilne boje na bazi vode. Predavanja su prilagođena tako da voditelji posveti jednako vrijeme svim polaznicima i može se prilagoditi svim kategorijama minijaturista (od početnika do malo naprednijih).
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Tijekom vikenda, 04.-05.05., organizirali smo RADIONICU BOJANJA MINIJATURA – Bretonnia.
  
  	Radionica se provodila kroz dva dana i polaznici su bojali bretonnijskog viteza na konju za stolnu stratešku igru Warhammer The Old World. Fokus ovih predavanja bilo 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 sastavio svojeg viteza sa kopljem, štitom te ornamentnom kacigom kao i konja prema vlastitom nahođenju. Na radionici su bile predstavljene boje i pribor, priprema figura, nekoliko tehnika bojenja minijatura od osnovnih do naprednijih, te tehnike postavljanja naljepnica, a na kraju i baziranja figure.U sklopu radionice bile su korištene akrilne boje na bazi vode..
  
  	  
  
  	Radionica je uključivala sljedeće tematske cjeline: 1. Planiranje i priprema te sastavljanje minijatura 2. Obrada minijatura prije bojanja 3. Osnovne boje 4. Tehnike shadinga i highlighta 5. Postavljanje naljepnica bez sjaja 6. Osnove freehanda
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Tijekom vikenda, 21.-22.9.2024., održali smo novu vikend radionicu bojanja minijatura pod nazivom Biste zmajeva. Time vođeni, organizatori su izabrali prikladne biste zmajeva poznatog minijaturista Karola Rudyka koje su svi polaznici bojali. Svaki polaznik dobio je unikatnu bistu iz njegovog seta bisti limitiranog na 100 primjeraka. U sklopu radionice, primarno su korištene akrilne boje, ali mogli su se koristiti i uljni efekti.
  
  	  
  
  	Polaznici su naučili kako pravilno pripremiti rezinsku figuru/bistu prije bojanja te su potom od balze izradili unutrašnju bazu za okvir u koje su na samom kraju radionice smjestili svoje zmajeve. Ovog puta svaki polaznik je mogao istraživati kroz svoje bojanje razne efekte po vlastitom nahođenju. Izbor “color sheme” ili pak da li želi koristiti efekte OSL-a ili bilo čega drugoga, prepušeno je samom polazniku.

  	U sklopu ovog projekta UMS „Agram” pod nazivom Agram Group Build koji je nastao nakon što su Kruno i Marko srijedama razgovarali o zajedničkim projektima i kako bi bilo cool okupiti više ljudi srijedama oko rada na zajedničkom nečemu. Iz toga se izrodila ideja o Group Buildovima. U 2024. smo radili na seriji bisti Njušketira.

  	Tijekom studenog i prosinca organizirali smo program pod nazivom Advent u Agramu koji se sastojao od interaktivnih radionica izrade božićnih kuglicate kraćih oglednih radionica tijekom prosinca. Interaktivne radionice podrazumijevaju da polaznici izrađuju vlastite makete prema uputama i pod paskom voditelja. Za ogledne radionice u prosincu nisu potrebne prijave, a sastoje se od niza zasebnih tema koje obrađuju maketarske metode, efekte i materijale koji su vezani za zimski period poput izrade snijega, leda i sličnog koje predavač pokazuje za katedrom. U sklopu Adventa smo organizirali:
  
  	Radionica fotografiranja minijatura
  
  	  
  
  	Ogledne radionice maketarskih tehnika – izrada zimskih terena

  	NASTUPI NA NATJECANJIMA, KONVENCIJAMA, IZLOŽBAMA I DRUGIM DOGAĐANJIMA
  
  	Kup Zagreb
  
  	  
  
  	Kup Zagreb, maketarsko natjecanje u organizaciji ZMMS, ove godine je održano kroz dva dana 18.-19.5.2024. u Family Mallu. Organizator nas je zamolio da sudjelujemo prezentacijom naših programa i projekata na što smo se sa zadovoljstvom odazvali.
  
  	  
  
  	Svet v Malem, Pivka, Slovenija
  
  	  
  
  	Svet v Malem, maketarsko natjecanje je održano u Muzeju vojne povijesti u Pivki u Sloveniji 25. svibnja 2024. I na ovom natjecanju smo prezentirali naše programe i aktivnosti. Po prvi puta s nama je išao i naš norveški član, Sebastian kojem je ovo ujedno bilo i prvo natjecanje u inozemstvu na kojem je sudjelovao. Pored natjecanja, već tradicionalno, naš slovenski partner Back to Basics i Miniatures.si su organizirali ogledne radionice bojanja minijatura. Naš Marko je također bio pozvan da održi jednu – o brzom bojanju bretonskog Man-at-Armsa.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	“Prije svega, mjesto održavanja je savršeno za minijaturnu konvenciju. Park vojne povijesti u Pivki ima zanimljivu priču, a učiti o njegovoj povijesnoj i geografskoj važnosti, kao i o jugoslavenskoj vojnoj povijesti u njihovom muzeju, svakako je bilo zanimljivo, iako su meni najbolji dio mjesta bili veliki zrakoplovi, helikopteri , tenkovi i automobili koji vise ili stoje oko mjesta događaja. To donosi savršenu nadopunu i kontrast svim sićušnim minijaturama koje su izložene. Izložba se većinom sastojala od vojnih i povijesnih vozila, diorama ili displeja, no nas troje prijavili smo se u nešto manjim kategorijama "Wargaming", "What If (Sci-fi)", "Filmske scene", "Bust" i " Brojke svih razmjera". Čak i ovdje, bilo je prilično dobrih unosa. Ali najdojmljivije od svega bile su neke od diorama koje su prikazivale povijesne vojne događaje (također nadopunjujući muzejske izloške i nekoliko povijesnih artefakata koji se tamo nalaze), poput Winter Relax, Alsace 1944., "Best of Show" iz Mosona. Ova velika diorama koja se vrti, zajedno s dobro osvijetljenim interijerima i potpuno realističnim zimskim prizorom vozila, vojnika i opreme, bila mi je zadivljujuća pa smo joj dodijelili i BEST OF SHOW by UMS AGRAM nagradu i uručili je autoru Giampieru Bianchiju.”
  
  	  
  
  	International TableTop Day 2024, Jalžabet
  
  	  
  
  	8. Lipnja smo organizirali interaktivnu radionicu bojanja minijatura u sklopu International Tabletop Day 2024 u Jalžabetu pored Varaždina.
  
  	Naš Mario, uz pomoć lokalnog vikinga Sebastiana, vodio je radionicu bojanja minijatura koja je po program trebala trajati dva sata, od 10 do 12. Međutim, zbog velikog interesa, vrijeme trajanja je produljeno do skoro 17h.
  
  	  
  
  	PSMK 2024, Budimpešta, Mađarska
  
  	  
  
  	Paralelno sa radionicom u Jalžabetu, naša druga delegacija se uputila u Budimpeštu braniti boje UMS Agram na međunarodnom maketarskom natjecanju PSMK 2024. Naša ekipa, Kruno i Marko, uputili su se tamo u petak te ostali do nedjelje, iako je samo natjecanje bilo jednodnevno.
  
  	Po dolasku u Budimpeštu, pridružili smo se minijaturističkoj ekipi na večeri dobrodošlice uz mađarske specijalitete. Tijekom cijelog vikenda bio je gušt izmjenjivati iskustva i znanja sa svjetskim veličinama poput Margot Crombeecke, Chloe Plattner, Jamesom Zhouom te Miklosem Buteom.
  
  	  
  
  	U subotu ujutro, stigli smo na natjecanje te postavili naš stand (koji je kasnije osvojio “We Like It” spomenicu od organizatora. Potom smo postavili izloške u pripadajuće kategorije i natjecanje je moglo početi.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Nakon kraćeg vijećanja, odluka za dodijelu BEST OF SHOW by UMS AGRAM je bilo lako dodijeliti za predivni display Chloe Plattner.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Kamping Kitbash
  
  	
  
  	Kamping Kitbash je trodnevno događanje koje se bavi indie stolnim igrama i izradom minijatura. Ovo je prvo izdanje Kamping Kitbasha, i održano je u BROEI - prenamijenjenoj staroj tvornici u blizini centra Genta, a organizirano je kroz Nerdlab, lokalni kolektiv koji se bavi promicanjem spoja likovne umjetnosti i tehnologije.
  
  	
  
  	Tijekom cijelog vikenda na raspolaganju su bili veliki stolovi gdje smo svi mogli modelirati i bojati minijature, kao i hrpe figura, dijelova, boja, alata, kistova i grenstuffa za kitbashing.
  
  	Svaki dan Kamping Kitbasha održavala se barem jedna radionica. Prvi dan je Helge (@wilhelminiatures ) vodio radionicu o modeliranju s polimernom glinom, a Terran ( @c onjuredcraft ) o modeliranju lica za početnike. U subotu je bila radionica o eksperimentalnom bojanju koju je vodila naša Ana, i Arjanova (@atelier.ag ) o izradi kalupa iz silikona i lijevanju minijatura u rezinu. Tara (@manglingminis ) je u nedjelju imao radionicu o dizajnu tabletop igara.

  	XIII DANI TEHNIČKE KULTURE 2024
  
  	18. i 19.10. 2024. smo sudjelovali na XIII danima tehničke kulture u organizaciji Zagebačke zajednice tehničke kulture.
  
  	
  
  	U petak smo održali tri pokazne demonstracije maketarsko-minijaturističkih tehnika (Ana, Marko i Sebastijan) te sudjelovali na Tribini u organizaciji SUPTK i DPTK sa prezentacijom o minijaturističkim i maketarskim radionicama koje organiziramo.
  
  	
  
  	U subotu nakon službene ceremonije otvaranja smo prezentirali novu knjigu u izdanju UMS Agram - Minijaturizam u doba nakon Corone te održali dvije serije Back to Basics radionica. Polaznici su obojali svoje prve figure! Nakon oba dana došlo je vrijeme i za zasluženu relaksaciju naših volontera!

  	Državno prvenstvo Slovenije u plastičnom maketarstvu 
  
  	U subotu, 16.11.2024. u Ljubljani održavalo se Državno prvenstvo Slovenije u plastičnom maketarstvu. Naša delegacija je nastupila u nekoliko kategorija.
  
  	  
  
  	Posebno zadovoljstvo nam je bilo predstaviti i pokloniti nekoliko primjeraka našeg zadnjeg izdanja našim partnerima i prijateljima iz Back to Basics!
  
  	  
  
  	
  
  	  
  
  	Veliki panda i sićušni zmaj, radionica crtanja likova 
  
  	
  
  	Tijekom ovogodnišnjeg Interlibera autor knjiga o Velikom pandi i sićušnom zmaju James Norbury, održao je nekoliko različitih događanja i susreta s čitateljima. U petak 15. studenog imao sam priliku sudjelovati na radionici crtanja likova iz njegovih knjiga. S obzirom da je James ilustrator i njegova djela uključuju apstraktne pejzaže, fantasy art, SF i cyberpunk stripove, crteže i grafike, bilo mi je zanimljivo vidjeti kako nastaju likovi pande i zmaja u tehnici japanskih zen slikara.
  
  	ČLANCI IZ MINIJATURIZMA I MAKETARSTVA
  
  	  
  
  	I za kraj, valja spomenuti i naš najopsežniji program. Online objavljivanje članaka iz minijaturizma i maketarstva započeto 2020. se nastavilo i u narednim godinama pa tako i 2024. sa preko 50 objavljenih članaka ove godine. Ovim putem se zahvaljujemo svim članovima na trudu i zalaganju u izradi minijatura i maketa, ali posebno u odvajanju vremena za fotografiranje rada u nastajanju i pisanja članaka za našu stranicu.

  	In the next two articles I will cover the making of the Alps diorama. The main “actor” of the diorama is a 1/87 scale oldtimer bus. In addition to it, the package also included a few figures (but more about them in another article).
  
  	  
  
  	The idea of the diorama is that the bus stopped at a rest stop somewhere in the Alpine serpentines and the crew of passengers got out to enjoy the view. To get the height, I used 5 cm thick polystyrene. In two layers (with the second layer just being the background).
  
  	  
  
  	After drawing the road, positioning the elements on the base, I cut the elements and got something close to the final relief look.
  
  	  
  
  	I rearranged the elements in the diorama to check if everything matched the idea.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	The next step was to imprint the stone texture into the Styrofoam rocks. I used pieces of tree bark to imprint them.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Then I mixed in a thick mixture of modeling plaster to add to the embossed texture and to protect the soft Styrofoam a bit.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Once the plaster had dried, I started painting. First I painted everything in a gray base color. Then I added darker shades of gray, black, and brown. The colors I used were very diluted so that they would blend more easily on the surface. When I was done with the darker layers and they were dry, I repeated the same with the lighter tones (gray and beige). This time, the color was not as diluted.
  
  	  
  
  	The last step was to add asphalt to the road. I used the effect from Ammo.

  	Kroz naredna dva članka obradit ću izradu diorame Alpi. Glavni “akter” diorame je oldtimer autobus u mjerilu 1/87. Pored njega u paketu došla je i nekolicina figura (ali o njima više u drugom članku).
  
  	  
  
  	Ideja diorame jest da je autobus stao na ugibalištu negdje u serpentinama Alpi i da je ekipa putnika izašla van uživati u pogledu. Kako bih dobio visinu, koristio sam stirodur debljine 5 cm. U dva sloja (s tim da je drugi sloj samo pozadina).
  
  	  
  
  	Nakon iscrtavanja ceste, pozicioniranja elemenata na podlogu, izrezao sam elemente i dobio nešto što je blizu konačnog izgleda reljefa.
  
  	  
  
  	Ponovno sam posložio elemente po diorami da provjerim da li sve odgovara zamišljenom.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Sljedeći korak bio je utisnuti teksturu kamena u stirodurne stjene. Za utiskivanje sam koristio komadiće kore drveta.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Zatim sam umješao gustu smjestu modelarskog gipsa da dodam na utisnutu teksturu i da pomalo zaštitim mekani stirodur.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Kad se gips osušio, krenuo sam sa bojanjem. Prvo sam sve obojao u sivu temeljnu boju. A zatim dodavao tamnije tonove sive, crne i smeđe. Boje koje sam koristio su bile jako razvodnjene da bi se lakše miješale na samoj podlozi. Kad sam završio sa tamnijim slojevima te kad su se oni osušili, isto sam ponovio sa svijetlijim tonovima (sive i bež). Ovaj puta, boja nije bila toliko razvodnjena.
  
  	  
  
  	Zadnji korak bilo je dodavanje asfalta na cestu. Koristio sam efekt od Ammoa.

  	Painting:
  
  	First I applied Sephia Wash, then sanded a little. Then I filled the cracks with Agrax Earthshade and stained the spots a little. Sanded a little harder and then repeated the Sephia Wash. When it was dry, I used a fine sanding sponge in a few places to simulate wear.

  	In 2024, we started a new program called Back to Basics miniature painting workshops for the youngest in collaboration with the Zagreb City Libraries. We held a total of four workshops during October and November with 29 participants, our youngest fellow citizens.
  
  	
  
  	We held the first workshop at the Children's Department of the Medveščak Library on Saturday, October 12, 2024.
  
  	
  
  	The second workshop, also at the Children's Department of the Medveščak Library at Zvonimirova 17, was held on October 26, 2024.
  
  	
  
  	We held the third workshop in the VN Reading Room and Gallery (Vladimir Nazor Library) at Ilica 163-a on Saturday, November 9, 2024.
  
  	
  
  	The fourth workshop was also held at the VN Gallery on Saturday, November 23, 2024.
  
  	
  
  	During the workshop, the participants assembled a model of the castle, then painted it, and finally painted the dragon that guards the tower.
  
  	
  
  	Easily available materials are used, as well as those obtained through the upcycle method (upcycling - creative reuse, is the process of converting by-products, waste materials, useless or unwanted products into new materials or products that are considered higher quality, such as artistic value), which makes the entire project environmentally friendly and innovative.
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	After the workshops were completed, the children received diplomas for completing the workshop and, of course, took their work home.
  
  	
  
  	As a token of gratitude, we awarded Certificates of Appreciation to the Medveščak Library, the VN Gallery, and the City of Zagreb Libraries. We presented and presented all of our publications and manuals written so far to our colleagues from the Libraries.

  	2024. smo započeli novi program pod nazivom Back to Basics radionice bojanja minijatura za najmlađe u suradnji sa Knjižnicama Grada Zagreba. Ukupno smo održali četiri radionice tijekom listopada i studenog sa 29 polaznika, naših najmlađih sugrađana.
  
  	
  
  	Prvu radionicu održali smo na Dječjem odjelu Knjižnice Medveščak u subotu 12.10.2024. 
  
  	
  
  	Druga radionica, također na Dječjem odjelu Knjižnice Medveščak u Zvonimirovoj 17, održana je 26.10.2024.
  
  	
  
  	Treću radionicu održali smo u Čitaonici i Galeriji VN (Knjižnica Vladimira Nazora) u Ilici 163-a u subotu 09.11.2024.
  
  	
  
  	Četvrta radionica održana također u Galeriji VN u subotu 23.11.2024.
  
  	
  
  	Tijekom radionice, polaznici su sastavljali maketu dvorca, potom ju bojali, a na kraju obojali i zmaja koji čuva kulu.
  
  	
  
  	Koriste se lako nabavljivi materijali, ali i oni dobiveni upcycle metodom  (upcycling – eng. kreativna ponovna uporaba, proces je pretvaranja nusproizvoda, otpadnih materijala, beskorisnih ili neželjenih proizvoda u nove materijale ili proizvode koji se smatraju kvalitetnijima, poput umjetničke vrijednosti) što čini cijeli projekt ekološki prihvatljivim i inovativnim.
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	Po završetku radionica mališani su dobili diplome za završenu radionicu i naravno, svoje radove su odnijeli kući.
  
  	
  
  	U znak zahvale, dodijelili smo Zahvalnice Knjižnici Medveščak, Galeriji VN kao i Knjižnicama Grada Zagreba. Kolegicama iz Knjižnica prezentirali smo i poklonili sve naše publikacije i priručnike do sada napisane.

  	During this year's Interliber, the author of the books about the Big Panda and the Tiny Dragon, James Norbury, held several different events and meetings with readers. On Friday, November 15, I had the opportunity to participate in a workshop on drawing characters from his books. Since James is an illustrator and his works include abstract landscapes, fantasy art, SF and cyberpunk comics, drawings and graphics, it was interesting for me to see how the panda and dragon characters are created in the technique of Japanese Zen painters.
  
  	
  
  	James drew with a felt-tip pen and explained the structure of the characters and their characteristics. For example, the dragon has no eyebrows, so the expression of emotions is partially limited to a couple of eye shapes and hand gestures. While the panda rarely has a mouth in his drawings, so his expression of emotions is also sparse. However, it is precisely through the position of the body, the relationship between the characters, and the text below the picture that James's books convey the story and thoughts of a Buddhist view of life.
  
  	
  
  	One of the messages is that not everything needs to be perfect, both in drawing and in life. He is not satisfied with some of the drawings that James made and published in the book, but as he himself says, if he had waited to make them perfect, he would never have published the book. You start with what you have and improve along the way. A philosophy that we often apply with our figures, dioramas and models.
  
  	
  
  	I enjoyed copying and learning to draw the characters and tried my hand at making a few frames. At first the panda looked more like a Teddy bear, but with practice it took on a panda-like appearance and body position.
  
  	
  
  	I recommend that anyone who has not yet read James Norbury's books find them and read them. They are quick to read, but can leave a long-lasting impression on your mind.

  	Tijekom ovogodnišnjeg Interlibera autor knjiga o Velikom pandi i sićušnom zmaju James Norbury, održao je nekoliko različitih događanja i susreta s čitateljima. U petak 15. studenog imao sam priliku sudjelovati na radionici crtanja likova iz njegovih knjiga. S obzirom da je James ilustrator i njegova djela uključuju apstraktne pejzaže, fantasy art, SF i cyberpunk stripove, crteže i grafike, bilo mi je zanimljivo vidjeti kako nastaju likovi pande i zmaja u tehnici japanskih zen slikara.
  
  	
  
  	James je crtao flomasterom i objašnjavao strukturu likova i njihove osobine. Npr. zmaj nema obrve pa je prikazivanje emocija djelomično ograničeno na par oblika očiju i gestikulacije rukama. Dok panda rijetko kad ima usta na crtežima, pa je i njegovo prikazivanje emocija oskudno. No upravo položajem tijela, međuodnosom likova i tekstom ispod slike Jamesove knjige prenose priču i misli budističkog pogleda na život.
  
  	
  
  	Jedna od poruka je i da ne treba sve biti savršeno, kako na crtežu, tako i u životu. S nekim crtežima koje je James napravio i objavio u knjizi nije zadovoljan, no kako i sam kaže da je čekao da ih napravi savršeno ne bi nikada objavio knjigu. Kreneš s onim što imaš i putem se usavršavaš. Filozofija koju često primjenjujemo i mi sa svojim figurama, dioramama i modelima.
  
  	
  
  	Uživao sam kopirajući i učeći crtati likove i okušao se u izradi par okvira. U početku je panda više sličila na Teddy beara, no s vježbom je dobila pandasti izgled i položaj tijela.
  
  	
  
  	Svima koji se još nisu upoznali s knjigama Jamesa Norbury preporučam da ih pronađu i pročitaju. Brzo se čitaju, no mogu ostaviti dugi trag u promišljanjima.
