We visited: 14. Festival Svet V Malem - Pivka 2022
Marko Paunović, 17th May 2022We left Zagreb around 7 am and arrived at half past 10 in Pivka, Slovenia for the 14th Festival Svet V Malem.
After registering and setting up our exhibits, we re-parked the car according to the organizers' instructions and used the time before the competition to visit the Museum of Military History and pleasant and surprisingly cheap coffee.
MARKO: After the opening, my appointment for an eye coloring workshop soon followed, which I did at the invitation of our Slovenian friend from Miniatures.si, Bineta Logra. I used the miniature Eyes of the Danish company Nordlys Miniatures.
After the workshop, we went on a tour of over 500 works by more than 160 miniaturists and modelers from 6 countries. In addition to sightseeing, we also chose the Best of Show by UMS Agram. Eventually the choice fell on the Westfront 1918 bust of Italian miniaturist Pietro Todar. In addition to th...

Marko Paunović, 2nd May 2022In this series of articles, we will follow our Goran, Kruno, Dalibor, Nino, Jelena, Domagoj, Borna and Marko in making a diorama / game board for the side game Full Tilt from the '90s. The board and miniatures are part of the new UMS “Agram” project called Agram Group Build which was created so that more people could participate in one joint project at the same time and learn something with fun. No prior knowledge or experience is important. With our experienced miniaturists, everyone will learn something.
Although there was no plan to work on the terrain, Marko caught some time between instructions and put the base layers on the base. He started with a thatched roof on which he put a base coat of ocher paint and after drying put a wash of darker shades.
After that, he put the basic layers of paint on the texture of the earth, in two shades.
He was accompanied in the hobby section by Kruno, Bero, who came from Hamburg, and Jelena, who came from Se...

Marko Paunović, 2nd May 2022By changing the rules in GW games, there has also been an increase in the radius of the bases on which the pieces come. Since a lot of players have based figures according to older rules, a problem arises. How to change the bases, and to be simple and without potential damage to the figures.
Therefore, we designed a base insert that fits the existing smaller base. The free stl can be found here. Feel free to download and use it for your armies!*
The following is a short tutorial on how to rebase your figures on the 40k Ork example. Glue your existing base into the insert. Then fill the hole with air drying clay (as in the pictures) or some putty. Add the texture as on the original base, paint and place the vegetation as you used before.
And that's it. Your figure is rebased and there is no difference!
*thanks to our club friend Zlatko Grom who made the stl!

Goran Krunić, 26th April 2022We arrived around 9:30 in the morning, starting from Sopnica in the eastern part of Zagreb around 5 in the morning, we would have left earlier, but I turned off the alarm just in time.
A cheerful five-member crew of which only me and the road leader Josip went with the intention of participating and exhibiting at the show, he brought home and wallpaper for the animated picture, while I brought one bust, 3 figures and eyes from a miniature painting workshop from February .
The hall is quite an impressive building called the United Foam Manufacturers Arena (UFM), so we accidentally parked a little too far from it, as we were guided by navigation via address rather than actual location. It was already very crowded from the early morning, but despite that, we successfully completed the process of registration and submitting the model for trial and competition in 10-15 minutes.
Given that this is one of the two...

Marin decided to use this Wednesday to work on his two figures for the audience. "Two young ladies gathered near the stream and began preparations for the knights' tournament. They will certainly not stay clean and hungry, but whether they will catch a knight is another story. We'll find out when they finally get some paint on. "
While Marin used the workshop time to work on the audience figures, Marko gave his lectures. This time it was the thatched roof....

Marko Paunović, 20th April 2022In this series of articles, I will write about making a USSR diorama in 1986. I will show how I made the "terrain" and the model myself, how I painted them and what effects I used. In addition, vegetation and resin will be discussed.
Last time we finished with the interior of the UAZ, so this, the last, article will be dedicated to the exterior cladding of the van. The first thing I did was paint the metalwork with a brush and then randomly covered the parts with Scratches and Heavy Chipping effects. After that, I painted the model with two yellow sprays.
When the spray dried, I glued the masking tape over the parts I didn't want to paint a different color and applied a layer of spray again, this time red.
After removing the masking tape, I "peeled" the paint on the parts that were coated with Scratches and Heavy Chipping effects. The next step was to add rust oil effects.
Then I added stickers. For help, I used Ammo by Mig decal effect...
