UMS "Agram" : Steampunk Zrinjevac themed terrain < Articles < Hobby

Steampunk Zrinjevac themed terrain

Marko Paunović, 22nd August 2020

A while back, I got the whole range of Plastcraft: Designed for Malifaux terrain for my demo games and I decided to make a terrain that would compliment these terrain and help fill out my demo table.

Looking at the photos of Plastcraft terrain and table setup, an idea popped into my mind – make a 19th century park. Fortunately for me, living in Zagreb, Croatia, it's centre is full of 19th century architecture, parks included. The park in the pic with the gazebo is one of more famous parks in Zagreb, only a minute's walk from the town's main square and only a ten minute walk from my appartment. During the January of 2015 I was busy building my park and shooting pics during every step of the build. With the terrain finished, it was time to write the actual tutorial. After a bit of a think, I decided to thematicly group certain actions I did to make the whole process more understandable and easier to follow.

Obviously the first step was to draw the terrain with all the features to be installed and to make a list of materials and bits needed. I tried to use materials and bits I had handy as I didn't have much time to finish the build so waiting for various shipments to arrive was out of the question. After singling out the materials and bits I'd use, it was time to start the actual build.

THE BASE

First, I drew the outlines of my park on the base (MDF board, 4 mm thick), then I put all the bits on it to see how it all fits. At this time, it's good to have at least one miniature handy to check how it can be moved through the terrain features. No point in making a nice terrain if your minis can't enter it. Once I was satisfied with the result, I used my jigsaw (although a normal saw would suffice) to cut the base into two A4 sized terrains. If you don't have MDF handy, almost all shops selling photo equipment hold those simple glass frames with MDF background held by a couple of clips. It's cheap and it's handy. Once the base was cut, I glued my plastic fence in place. I bought the fence on Ebay. Just search „HO scale fence“. One meter of the fence is about 10 USD with worldwide shipping and there are several designs.

THE PLASTER

As you can see on the plans, I wanted to make an octogonal gazebo so I needed an octogonal base. The easiest way to make your own walls, bases etc is to cast them in plaster. For that you'll need a mould. I made mine on a seethrough plastic foil as base. I simply put it on the terrain base where I hade previously drawn the outline of the gazebo. I cut several basla wood planks to serve as walls of my mould and glued them using superglue. I mixed the plaster and poured it into my mould. Half an hour later, I had my base. Removing the cast from the mould is easy as it is bendy due to the plastic foil base. A further half an hour later I had the two casts I'd use to make my gazebo. Now I needed to make the walls of the gazebo. I had already made moulds for a brick wall so I simply poured in some plaster and cut the brick walls to size. (However, here I'll also explain how I made my brick walls moulds: A long while ago, I found some railroad model brick walls. Using latex milk, I made the mould by just covering the railroad model brick wall and leaving to cure for about 24 hours.) After sanding the sides of the walls, I glued them to form the octogonal gazebo. One side I intentionally left open. Here I had to make the stairs. Using the same brick wall casts I made the shape of the stairs by carefully cutting the desired shape. The „body“ of the stairs I cut out of HD Styrofoam.

METAL

With the shape of the stairs complete, I needed to make the metal sheets that would form the stairs while making my terrain look more steampunky. I used simple card (from a box of instant coffee), cutting it into strips. Rivets I made with PVA glue carefully applying it making sure it forms little blobs that would, once painted, look like rivets.

Then it was time to do the metal structure of the gazebo. For this, I used Evergreeen plasticard profiles (I and H beams) and for the fence I used the railings from the HO fence sets I wrote about earlier. The vertical beams I made from the I beams while the horizontal roof holders were done with H beams.

ROOF

To make the octogonal roof, I first had to make the shape of a single triangle. On the base, where I hade drawn the shape of the gazebo, I gllued one wooden slat 25 mm long vertically. 25 mm would be the height of the roof. Using the glued slat and the drawing of the gazebe, I made my triangle shape gluing three 2x2 mm wooden slats. This would just be my template which I then copied onto the card (from the same box of instant coffee I used earlier) eight times. I cut my triangles with scissors and using some tape I glued them to form the octogonal pyramid that would be my roof. I dryfitted it to the gazebo and it fit well. Using strips of card, I covered the gapse between the triangles and in the end I added rivets and welds using the PVA method I described earlier.

TEXTURE

With the gazebo done, it was time to add some texture to the base. I cut the small hills from HD Styrofoam and glued them with PVA. If you look at the original design on one piece of the terrain there was supposed to have been a fountain. After finding this piece of pillar I decided it would suit the purpose better. Especially since it had some runes written that might have been done by the Neverborn. Also, with it's smaller base size, it would save me space and give more playing room while the terrain is in use. I then made the curbs of the terrain with some 2x2 mm wooden slats glued with PVA glue. Once that was done, it was time to add the texture. I normally use three to four different sizes grain to myke my texture. This time was no different as I used GF9 rough, medium and fine grit for the grassy parts. For the paths, I used the smallest grain I had – the sand for chinchillas (that I normally use to make facades of buildings). When doing this, I applied watered down PVA and sprinkled the grit starting with the roughest and finishing with the finest. Always do it this way, otherwise only the finest grain will be glued.

PAINTING THE TEXTURE

After the PVA set, I started painting. First I udercoated everything black. Then I used a brown colour to (wet)paint all the paths and only drybrushed the grassy parts. Then I used ochre paint to drybrush over all the areas. The next drybrush layer was a mixture of ochre and white. I then added a layer of off white drybrush over the grassy bits and finished with pure white over all areas.

PAINTING BRICKS

I painted the curbs grey and the brick walls orange. Same thing I did on the gazebo. Then I added some redbrownish wash over the brick areas and drybrushed with layers of orange mixed progressively with more white.

PAINTING BENCHES

I found the benches on Ebay, also (search: „HO scale bench“). Ten of them were around 5 USD with shipping. The wooden parts were drybrushed brown and off white, while the metal was only drybrushed with silver mixed with black.

ELECTRONICS

One of my favourite hobby shops in Zagreb has these cool lampposts that can be fitted with LEDs. They are from the Decorabilia range of Stamperia (www.stamperia.com) and cost about 5USD per pack of two. To make this part you'll need:
• a single CR 2302 battery
• a single CR 2302 battery housing
• about 5m of wire
• 4 amber LEDs

The CR 2302 battery gives 3V of power. Through each LED runs approximately 20mA of electricity and these high powered LEDs use 2,5 – 3 V of power (normal LEDs use up to 2V). So when these 4 LEDs are connected in parallel (each of them is connected to the battery itself), they need 2,5 – 3 V of power and about 80mA of electricity. The CR 2302 battery should last at least two games with this setup.

As the wires would go on the bottom of the base, I had to make the grooves. I made them using my drill (hence the wobbliness). I soldered the LEDs to the wires (remember to always use the same colour on longer leg of the LED and another colour on the shorter). It'll make things easier when connecting to the battery. I fed the wires through the body of the lampposts and glued them to the base carefully laying each wire in it's own groove. I then attached the clamps to the battery housing and connected all the wires. Once I placed the battery, all the LEDs lit up. Then I used some wooden planks to safely secure the battery housing to the base.

PAINTING METAL

After undercoating the roof and the metal parts of the gazebo (stairs, railigns and roof structure, I drybrushed the silver/black mixture. Then I applied the brass and gold layers to the brass parts (base and top of the lamppost, railings and the roof body of the gazebo). Once the base layers were done, I applied two special effects made by ModelMates: Rust (to silvery bits) and Verdigris (to the brass bits). Just apply these generously and after about ten minutes drying time, I used a slightly damp earcleaning tips to remove excess effects and add direction to the effects (rust usually runs down a slope). In the end using green washes and glazes I added the moss effect to the brick walls of the gazebo.

VEGETATION

Once the paint dried it was time for flocking. I first pinned the trees to the base and added static grass gluing it with PVA glue. I also used some fir trees that were also pinned and I added some poison ivy to the gazebo.

All that was left was to take pics and enjoy a game on my new terrain!

	Here's a little tip for hobbyists that have been useful for me lately.

	It's a phone app called paintRack. 

	

	It's an app made specifically for our hobby, and has many useful features. 

	 

	Among these features are the Library where I register every paint color I own and from which paint brand. This gives me a good overview and I can always refer to it when I'm planning a project. 

	 

	Sets is where I write down my color schemes for different projects, so I'll remember them if I ever have to reproduce them again in the future. 

	 

	

	 

	Color tools is my most used feature. If there's a paint I don't own and I want to know the closest color possible within my paints, I find it and open it in color tools. Someone recommended me Vallejo's Light Brown, but since my local hobby shop doesn't sell Vallejo, I check which other color from for example Citadel or AK is a close match. The feature even provides you with a number showing how close of a match it is. A 0.00 is a perfect match. The closest one here is a 4.10 which is decent.

	 

	

	 

	The color tools also has another useful feature where you can upload any image and select any part of that image, and it provides you with the closest color match. Either from your own paints or all existing paint ranges (you can choose which paint brands you want it to show you).

	 

	

	 

	The last useful thing I want to mention about the paintRack app is something I only discovered recently, as I'm integrating more use of AI in my work and hobby. From the app you can export your library list of paints as a file. In my case I have all my paints registered in the app, so this provides me with an extensive list of all colors I have access to. This list I upload to an AI, and this lets me have a very useful conversation with it about color schemes and paint ideas.

	Evo malog savjeta za hobiste koji mi je u posljednje vrijeme bio koristan.

	To je aplikacija za telefon pod nazivom paintRack. 

	

	To je aplikacija napravljena posebno za naš hobi i ima mnogo korisnih značajki. 

	 

	Među tim značajkama je i Biblioteka u kojoj registriram svaku boju koju posjedujem i od koje marke boje. To mi daje dobar pregled i uvijek se mogu pozvati na to kada planiram projekt. 

	 

	Setovi su mjesto gdje zapisujem svoje sheme boja za različite projekte, tako da ću ih zapamtiti ako ih ikada budem morao ponovno reproducirati u budućnosti. 

	 

	

	 

	Alati za boje su moja najčešće korištena značajka. Ako postoji boja koju ne posjedujem i želim znati najbližu moguću boju unutar svojih boja, pronađem je i otvorim je u alatima za boje. Netko mi je preporučio Vallejo's Light Brown, ali budući da moja lokalna trgovina hobijima ne prodaje Vallejo, provjerim koja je druga boja, na primjer iz Citadel ili AK, bliska podudarnost. Značajka vam čak daje broj koji pokazuje koliko je blizu podudaranja. 0,00 je savršeno podudaranje. Najbliže ovdje je 4,10, što je pristojno.

	 

	

	 

	Alati za boje također imaju još jednu korisnu značajku gdje možete prenijeti bilo koju sliku i odabrati bilo koji dio te slike, a ona vam pruža najbliže podudaranje boja. Bilo iz vaših vlastitih boja ili svih postojećih raspona boja (možete odabrati koje marke boja želite da vam prikaže).

	 

	

	 

	Posljednja korisna stvar koju želim spomenuti o aplikaciji paintRack nešto je što sam tek nedavno otkrio, jer sve više integriram korištenje umjetne inteligencije u svoj posao i hobi. Iz aplikacije možete izvesti popis boja iz svoje biblioteke kao datoteku. U mom slučaju, sve moje boje su registrirane u aplikaciji, tako da mi to pruža opsežan popis svih boja kojima imam pristup. Ovaj popis prenosim na umjetnu inteligenciju, a to mi omogućuje vrlo koristan razgovor s njom o shemama boja i idejama za boje.

	This summer, Željko visited Ingolstadt, and its Bayerisches Armeemuseum is full of military history (albeit with a short gap for obvious reasons).

	  

	The Bavarian Military Museum in Ingolstadt is one of the largest military history museums in Europe. The collections focus on Bavaria in its European context and cover the period from the late Middle Ages to the present day.

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	One of the museum's exhibits is a collection of tin soldier figures. In addition to individual figures and sets, there are also large dioramas of the Battle of Zusmarshausen in 1648, the Battle of Leuthen in 1757, and the Battle of Leipzig in 1813.

March to Hren28 – Armies by UMS Agram members

Over the past few months, our team has been preparing for the Turnip28 invitational event called H.R.E.N.28 in Slovenia in July. Since the event was a success, we owe you photos of the armies that Mario, Domagoj, Seb and Antoni assembled and painted while we followed them on their journey!

MARIO: „Hugo the tiny, first captain of the Crow knights was maybe born small, but that didn't stop him from having great dreams. After the taming of the swamp bird, he now reigns over his underlings in despite of the jokes the warband tells of the "Tiny stout". He follows Boletus on his quest, but always biding his time for an inevitable coup. The model is based on a "fat knight" 3D print, which is scaled to around 30-ish%. The bird is a plastic stork toy with an added head from a toy pteranodon a friend found on a floor of a Con in Zagreb. The toilet is just a natural progression of the idea.

Followers of the cult of the roaming Proboscis and Boletus' vision. They, along with the lesser fodder, believe in staying alive only by the power of the beast of the swamps. So they listen to Boletus when he said to stay within it's shade at all costs, lest they fall behind and starve. I wanted to make a warband of wandering knights, with all their stuff on them, and the narrative of them trailing an "always moving" beast was perfect. The banners in my warband often represent not only the colors of the cult, but also their ever-moving lifestyle. Brutes made from Perry's foot knights and official torsos from Max.

Set upon his rotting steed, Boletus leads the warband, even though no one remembers how it started. It seems he and the monster were always there, the crows and scavengers alike just trailing the monster's wake. He almost never speaks, and even when he does, it's mostly a whisper. Sometimes it even seems as if the monster listens to him. The mount is a childrens toy baby giraffe, with legs reposed a bit and a mushroom for a head (I got heavily inspired by the official art from the mercenary book). And the rider is a mix of Perry minis limbs and an official torso print. I did a bad job with GS blending and tried to hide it with it looking like the skin falls off, I think it looks good (all considered).

The great Proboscis! The beast's call can be heard through the marshes, at night or day. It seldom rests, and it is seldom peaceful. The Proboscis is called many things, but none know from where it came. Boletus says that it is thawed from ancient ice and corrupted after the apocalypse, but some among the company doubt these words. Yet all in the warband know that it is the beast that keeps them fed, if they stay from it's mouth and preferably out of it's sight. The leftovers of it's meals feed them, and they follow it wherever it roams. This creature is a 3D print of a Platybelodon, to which I added fur, 4 additional trunks, dead trees and mud. I liked the idea of a sassy snob which would get comfortable on it's back, and am glad it turned out well in the end. Really satisfied with this model, and it performed admirably in my battles(when it didn't die due to my horrible dice rolls).

Knights of the Beet. Boletus hired these bastards recently, to help with some "muscle", after the beast decided the last horsemen the had were a tasty snack. He didn't know of their own agenda though. As the followers of the Beet cult, they are already converting some of the party to their vegetal religion. For they know that with time (and luck), all in the "ever marching" warband will march to the Beet. The idea for these horsemen was the first to come up when I decided to represent them all camping and living on the go. This is, in a way, a medieval parody of the way cyclists live when bikepacking - carrying all of their stuff on horses, drying the clothes on the sun etc. The models are Perry mounted men-at-arms with added official turnip torsos.“

SEBASTIAN: „These are the Fiber-nacci’s Fallow Forshippers - the 0.618th. My (finally) painted Turnip28 army. Done in the typical muddy shades of brown for Cist. Tried to give some color with their shells while still keeping the earthy, realistic tones. Knights of Shellwood cult, the sluggish Snail Knight, the shooty Snail Gunner, the wormy Toff and the rest of this empty-shelled army slumped their way into Hren28!“

ANTONI: „Starting off with my hollow, stuffed, blackpowder Fodder and my ruthless Toff, suzerain Wort (who got himself trampled by bastards after his unit abandoned him, and later drowned). I went with The Feast of Charybdis, worshipping the holy raddish (Wort only got the job because he looks like one). Huge thanks to everyone involed in HREN28 for making it such a magical experience!

The very marrow of my cult: The Scuttlers! They are extremely shy, hiding in their citadel atop a walking island. While the crab itself is a toy, the tower and the barnacles are sculpted/kitbashed (and then coated with texture paste and mud). The Citadel's handler is the genius Lord Bum, a slightly-larger-than-average goose and a master strategist. His constant triangulations enable the crab to rise from the silt exactly where it is needed ...30% of the time.

My most dangerous and elite turnip unit: The Cannonards Stump Gun. The danger they pose is mostly directed towards themselves, as they've blown up each time I have deployed them. No matter, the thrill of rolling 3d6 attacks more than makes up for the head-losing chaos.“

Domagoj: „I had a blast painting my mushroom rootlings, led by snobs finally pulled out the big pile of unpainted models - and I could not have imagined a better place to bring my friends gifts to have some fun! I called it the Alemakers legacy - based on mushrooms that are fermenting sweet mashes into alcohol. The core of the band is two units of blackbowder mushroom rootlings led by Lord Fermi, kindly gifted by @gardensofhecate (and thank u for resparking my interest in the hobby), looking for new ways to spread their spores.

The second noble to join the fray was Baron Colguts, lover of rootbeer, leading a feisty troupe of rootlings into battle - his oversized sword replacing his pistol since they have about the same range. Got this mini as a total surprise from @colecifer_xxviii who surprised me how spontaneous and kind hobbyists can be.

The third and final snob is the birdfrog arrived from @uollas_uolsh who is cooler than cool - hope he likes his model representing the key ingrident in beer making! Sir Hops with the big heavy frog cannon - for how can u make beer without adding hops?“

Proteklih mjeseci naša ekipa se spremala za nastup na Turnip28 turniru pod nazivom H.R.E.N.28 u Sloveniji u srpnju. S obzirom da je event uspješno održan, ostali smo vam dužni fotografije vojski koje su Mario, Domagoj, Seb i Antoni slagali, a mi smo ih pratili na njihovom putu!

MARIO: „Hugo, sićušni, prvi kapetan Vitezova Vrana, možda se rodio malen, ali to ga nije spriječilo da ima velike snove. Nakon što je pripitomio močvarnu pticu, sada vlada svojim podređenima unatoč šalama koje ratna družina priča o "Sitnom stoutu". Prati Boletusa na njegovoj potrazi, ali uvijek čeka svoj trenutak za neizbježan udarac. Model se temelji na 3D printu "debelog viteza", koji je skaliran na oko 30%. Ptica je plastična igračka rode s dodanom glavom igračke pteranodona koju je prijatelj pronašao na podu Cona u Zagrebu. WC je samo prirodan nastavak ideje.

Sljedbenici kulta lutajućeg Proboscisa i Boletusove vizije. Oni, zajedno s manjim životinjama, vjeruju u preživljavanje samo snagom zvijeri iz močvara. Stoga slušaju Boletusa kada im je rekao da pod svaku cijenu ostanu u njegovoj sjeni, da ne zaostanu i ne umru od gladi. Htio sam napraviti ratnu družinu lutajućih vitezova, sa svim njihovim stvarima na sebi, a priča o njima kako prate "stalno pokretnu" zvijer bila je savršena. Zastave u mojoj ratnoj družini često predstavljaju ne samo boje kulta, već i njihov stalno pokretni način života. Zvijeri napravljene od Perryjevih pješačkih vitezova i službenih torza od Maxa.

Jašući na svom trulom konju, Boletus predvodi ratnu družinu, iako se nitko ne sjeća kako je sve počelo. Čini se da su on i čudovište oduvijek bili tamo, vrane i strvinari podjednako su samo pratili trag čudovišta. Gotovo nikad ne govori, a čak i kad govori, uglavnom je to šapat. Ponekad se čak čini kao da ga čudovište sluša. Konj je dječja igračka žirafa, s malo uvučenim nogama i gljivom umjesto glave (jako sam se inspirirao službenim crtežima iz knjige o plaćenicima). A jahač je mješavina Perryjevih minijaturnih udova i službenog otiska torza. Loše sam napravio posao s GS blendingom i pokušao sam to sakriti tako da izgleda kao da koža otpada, mislim da izgleda dobro (sve u svemu).

Veliki Proboscis! Zov zvijeri može se čuti kroz močvare, noću ili danju. Rijetko se odmara i rijetko je miran. Proboscis se naziva mnogim imenima, ali nitko ne zna odakle dolazi. Vrganj kaže da se odmrznuo od drevnog leda i iskvario nakon apokalipse, ali neki među društvom sumnjaju u te riječi. Pa ipak, svi u ratnoj družini znaju da ih zvijer hrani, ako ostanu podalje od njezinih usta i po mogućnosti izvan njezina vidokruga. Ostaci njezinih obroka ih hrane i slijede je gdje god luta. Ovo stvorenje je 3D print Platybelodona, kojem sam dodao krzno, 4 dodatna debla, mrtva stabla i blato. Svidjela mi se ideja drskog snoba koji bi se udobno smjestio na njegova leđa i drago mi je da je na kraju dobro ispalo. Jako sam zadovoljan ovim modelom i izvrsno se pokazao u mojim bitkama (kada nije uginuo zbog mog užasnog bacanja kockica).

Vitezovi Repe. Boletus je nedavno unajmio ove gadove da pomognu s malo "mišića", nakon što je zvijer odlučila da su posljednji konjanici koje su imali ukusan zalogaj. Međutim, nije znao za njihove vlastite namjere. Kao sljedbenici kulta Repe, već preobraćuju dio skupine u svoju vegetarijansku religiju. Jer znaju da će s vremenom (i srećom) svi u "vječno marširajućem" ratnom odredu marširati do Repe. Ideja za ove konjanike prva se pojavila kada sam odlučio prikazati ih sve kako kampiraju i žive u pokretu. Ovo je, na neki način, srednjovjekovna parodija načina na koji biciklisti žive kada se bicikliraju - nose sve svoje stvari na konjima, suše odjeću na suncu itd. Modeli su Perryjevi jahači s dodanim službenim torzovima od repe.“

SEBASTIAN: „Ovo su Fiber-naccijevi Fallow Forshippers - 0.618. Moja (konačno) obojana vojska za Turnip28. Napravljena u tipičnim blatnjavim nijansama smeđe za Cist. Pokušao sam dati malo boje njihovim oklopima, a da pritom zadržim zemljane, realistične tonove. Vitezovi kulta Školjkaste šume, tromi Puž Vitez, Puž Topnik koji puca, crvljivi Toff i ostatak ove vojske s praznim oklopima utonuli su u Hren28.“

ANTONI: „Počevši s mojim šupljim, prepariranim, crnim barutom Fodderom i mojim nemilosrdnim Toffom, suzerainom Wortom (kojeg su gadovi pregazili nakon što ga je njegova jedinica napustila, a kasnije se i utopio). Odlučio sam se za Gozbu Haribde, štovanje svete rotkvice (Wort je dobio posao samo zato što i sam tako izgleda). Veliko hvala svima koji su sudjelovali u HREN28 što su ovo iskustvo učinili tako čarobnim!

Sama srž mog kulta: Potapači! Iznimno su sramežljivi i skrivaju se u svojoj citadeli na vrhu otoka za hodanje. Dok je sam rak igračka, toranj i školjke su oblikovani/obrađeni (a zatim premazani teksturnom pastom i blatom). Citadelom upravlja genijalni Lord Bum, guska nešto veća od prosjeka i majstor strateg. Njegove stalne triangulacije omogućuju raku da se izdigne iz mulja točno tamo gdje je potrebno... 30% vremena.

Moja najopasnija i najelitna jedinica za repu: Topnički panj. Opasnost koju predstavljaju uglavnom je usmjerena prema njima samima, jer su eksplodirali svaki put kad bih ih rasporedio. Nema veze, uzbuđenje bacanja 3d6 napada više nego nadoknađuje kaos od kojeg gubite glavu.“

Domagoj: „Super sam se zabavio bojajući svoje korijene gljiva, predvođen snobovima, konačno sam izvukao veliku hrpu neobojenih modela - i nisam mogao zamisliti bolje mjesto za donijeti poklone prijateljima da se malo zabave! Nazvao sam to Alemakersovo nasljeđe - temeljeno na gljivama koje fermentiraju slatke kaše u alkohol. Jezgru benda čine dvije jedinice korijena crnih gljiva predvođenih Lordom Fermijem, ljubazno darovanih od @gardensofhecate (i hvala vam što ste ponovno probudili moj interes za hobi), tražeći nove načine širenja svojih spora.

Drugi plemić koji se pridružio borbi bio je baron Colguts, ljubitelj rootbeera, koji je u bitku predvodio žestoku skupinu rootlinga - njegov predimenzionirani mač zamijenio je pištolj budući da imaju otprilike isti domet. Ovaj minijaturni mač dobio sam kao potpuno iznenađenje od @colecifer_xxviii koji me iznenadio koliko spontani i ljubazni hobisti mogu biti.

Treći i posljednji snob je ptica-žaba stigla od @uollas_uolsh koja je super kul - nadam se da mu se sviđa njegov model koji predstavlja ključni sastojak u proizvodnji piva! Sir Hops s velikim teškim žabljim topom - jer kako možete napraviti pivo bez dodavanja hmelja?“

WE TOOK PART IN: H.r.e.n.28 in Slovenia

Our guys have returned from a successful trip to Medvode in Slovenija where they attended H.r.e.n.28 international invitational event organised by our friends at AmuletD20.

This is a short report consisting of their photos and some thoughts about the event.

MARIO: “ I was delighted with the imagination, effort and goodwill of the organizers. I met new and familiar good people, I think that is the best part of such events. Conversations with artistic passion are always inspiring and I will remember them for a long time. The game itself is very fun (I came with very little experience) and with the help of other players I think I picked up a lot. The terrains and scenarios are the stars of the event with their diversity, and the icing on the cake was the Sunday game Dredge28 designed by Vane, which turned out to be very chaotic and fun (I guess I am a "cannon guy", when it comes to ships). “

ANTONI: “ As we waited outside the club entrance, I don't think any of us had any idea what was in store for us: atmospheric music and lighting, floor-to-ceiling fog, and six gorgeous, made-from-scratch tables. The table allocation system itself went much smoother than I expected - each of us was given a map with our own route through the tables (the first of three games is on the Wall of Teeth table, etc.) so there was never any confusion about who we were playing the next game with and where, since competitiveness and winning were not the focus. When I found out that the table scenarios changed from game to game, I was even more thrilled; there were more scenarios than players! No pair of opponents had the same experience, even if they were playing at the same table. Long breaks between games and a constant flow of coffee allowed us to share unique impressions and there was no stress if someone's game dragged on. As for the company, food and drinks, I take my hat off to the entire AmuletD20 team who entertained us, fed us and made the event possible! 10/10 “

SEBASTIAN: "I’ll never forget the moment we all entered the Amulet d20 space on Saturday morning, ready to begin the event. It was an amazing experience when they opened their doors, and the players got to see what the organisers had prepared for us. Atmospheric ligthing illuminating the whole space, omnious soundscapes coming from the speakers and beautiful boards spread throughout - inspiring, well thought-out boards, with lots of variety, specific lore and flavor, and of course all very playable. I played The Big Fucking Cannon board where Luka shot me to pieces at the end of round 3, The Great Wall of Teeth where the Giant Tongue tabled me (with Dorian’s help of course, particularly his Stump Gun) and Greater Ptui where by killing Vitek’s rootling too close to the glorious hole, his virgin sacrifice was accepted and I lost the game in less than 10 minutes. Overall had a blast, and the Dredge Race on Sunday was exactly as we had hoped once Vane finally let us in on the secret game he had created for the event - chaotic, fun, weird, difficult and flavorful. Huge credit to the organisers for pulling together such a great event, and I truly hope I’ll get to attend something as great as this in the future."

Naši dečki su se vratili s uspješnog putovanja u Medvode u Sloveniji gdje su prisustvovali međunarodnom pozivnom događaju H.r.e.n.28 koji su organizirali naši prijatelji iz AmuletD20.

Ovo je kratki izvještaj koji se sastoji od fotografija i nekih njihovih misli o događaju.

MARIO: “ Bio sam oduševljen sa maštovitosti, trudom i dobrom voljom organizatora. Upoznao sam nove, i sreo poznate dobre ljude, smatram da je to najbolji dio ovakvih događanja. Razgovori sa umjetnickim žarom su uvijek inspirativni i pamtit ću ih dugo. Sama igra je vrlo zabavna (došao sam s jako malo iskustva) i uz pomoć ostalih igrača mislim da sam pohvatao puno toga. Tereni i scenariji su zvijezde događaja sa svojom raznolikoati, a ŝlag na kraju je bila nedjeljna igra Dredge28 koju je osmislio Vane, koja je ispala jako kaotična i zabavna (izgleda da sam "cannon guy", što se tiče brodova ) “

ANTONI: “ Dok smo čekali pred ulazom u klub vjerujem da nitko od nas nije imao ni približnu predodžbu onoga što nas je čekalo: atmosferična glazba i osvjetljenje, magla od poda do stropa i šest krasnih, od nule izrađenih stolova. Sam sustav raspodjele po stolovima tekao je mnogo glađe nego što sam očekivao - svatko od nas dobio je mapu s vlastitim putem po stolovima (prva od tri igre je na Wall of Teeth stolu itd.) tako da nikad nije bilo nedoumice oko toga s kim igramo sljedeću igru i gdje, s obzirom da kompetitivnost i pobjeda nisu bili fokus. Kad sam saznao da se scenariji po stolovima mijenjaju od igre do igre bio sam još više oduševljen; bilo je više scenarija nego igrača! Nijedan par protivnika nije imao isto iskustvo makar igrali na istom stolu. Duže pauze između igara i konstantan priljev kave omogućili su nam da podijelimo jedinstvene dojmove i da nema stresa ukoliko se nečija igra odužila. Što se tiče društva, hrane i pića, skidam kapu cijeloj AmuletD20 ekipi koja nas je zabavljala, hranila i omogućila sam event! 10/10 “

SEBASTIAN: "Nikada neću zaboraviti trenutak kada smo svi u subotu ujutro ušli u prostor AmuletD20, spremni za početak događaja. Bilo je to nevjerojatno iskustvo kada su otvorili svoja vrata, a igrači su mogli vidjeti što su nam organizatori pripremili. Atmosferična rasvjeta obasjavala je cijeli prostor, svemogući zvučni pejzaži dolazili su iz zvučnika i prekrasne ploče koje su se bile posvuda - inspirativne, dobro osmišljene ploče, s puno raznolikosti, specifičnom pričom i okusom, i naravno sve vrlo igrivo. Igrao sam na ploči The Big Fucking Cannon gdje me Luka na kraju 3. runde upucao na komadiće, The Great Wall of Teeth gdje me je Divovski jezik izbacio na stol (uz Dorianovu pomoć, naravno, posebno njegov Stump Gun) i Greater Ptui gdje je, ubivši Vitekovog rootlinga preblizu slavnoj rupi, njegova žrtva djevice bila prihvaćena i izgubio sam igru za manje od 10 minuta. Sveukupno, bilo je odlično, a Dredge Race u nedjelju bio je točno onakav kakav smo se nadali kada nas je Vane konačno pustio u tajnu igru koju je stvorio za događaj - kaotičan, zabavan, čudn, težak. Velike pohvale organizatorima što su organizirali tako sjajan događaj i iskreno se nadam da ću u budućnosti imati priliku prisustvovati nečemu ovako sjajnom."

	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.
