As always, the exhibition showed a cross-section of the work of the Association, its members, participants in its courses and workshops and members of the FB group Miniature Painters Croatia. In a large number of showcases, there were numerous miniatures for tabletop wargames, board games, and an entire showcase was dedicated to award-winning exhibits from previous miniaturist competitions. Several showcases were dedicated to the projects that the Association has been implementing for 19 years, such as the Library of UMS "Agram", the Terrain Workshop and the Miniature Painting Workshop.

Painting Workshops

The layout of the venue at the Vladimir Horvat Gallery makes it possible to hold several workshops throughout the weekend. Therefore, there were two two-hour workshops on Saturday after the official opening of the competition and two on Sunday before the awards ceremony.

Speed Painting Contests

 

There was a speed painting contest organised on Sunday. Participants had an hour to paint a single miniature. Thanks to our sponsor Hobby Chest who secured a huge donation of painting materials by AK Interactive, we were able to hold a Speed Painting Contest with the following rules: - contestants had an hour to paint a miniature - all contestants painted the same (type of) miniature - we provided the paints by AK Interactive - we provided the brushes by AK Interactive

That brought this wonderful weekend to a close and all that was left to do was to award the winning painters.

During the following two weeks on workdays from 16:00 until 20:00 we organised Warhammer 40.000 demo games. Next to the wargaming table we set up a painting booth where our visitors could paint the miniatures we provided (or they brought with themselves) using our painting material. This interactive part of the workshop was a nice new feature to our standard exhibition setup.

During the second weekend of the Exhibition, on 04.-05.03., we organised a MINIATURE PAINTING WORKSHOP – Batchpainting Ork Boyz.

 

Click for enlarged picture

During the weekend workshop the attendees painted the Ork Boyz figures for Warhammer 40,000 board strategy games. The focus of these lectures was painting 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. 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 were adapted so that the presenters will devote equal time to all participants and will be able to adapt to all categories of miniaturists (from beginners to slightly advanced).

First, the lecturer sits at his desk and explains and demonstrates each step in painting a miniature/mockup on his specimen. His work is shown on a screen through a camera and projector, which the participants listen to, look at, and ask questions about. Afterwards, the participants sit at their desks and apply the acquired knowledge. Leaders circulate between participants and check how each participant is doing. In this way, they can be adapted to each student individually. The workshop included the following thematic units

1. Planning and preparation and assembly of miniatures 2. Processing of miniatures before painting 3. Basic colors 4. Shading and highlighting techniques 5. Batch Painting 6. Subsequent elevation of the finished paintjob to a higher level 7. Basing the miniatures

The club provided all with the necessary equipment, paints, tools, brushes, lighting, glue as well as a set of paints.

    MARIO: „My next step was working on Proboscis, I wanted to add some texture to it so I sculpted his fur from brown stuff, along with a textured mass of mud on his back. I wanted to achieve the effect of overgrown plants and mushrooms on the skin. I also finished the existing trunks and added another pair.“

    SEB: „Over the past week I have continued work on the conversion of the cannon Snail Knight.

    Click for enlarged picture

    I added Liquid Green Stuff (from GSW) to the metal parts (the paperclip) and then sponged it on to get a rust plus algae effect so that the overall impression was: they just came out of the water.

    Today I added textures to the base.

    MARIO: „Moj sljedeći korak je bio rad na Proboscisu, želio sam mu dodati teksture pa sam mu kipario krzno od brown stuffa, zajedno sa teksturnom masom blata na leđima. Želim postići efekt obraslog bilja i gljiva na koži. Ujedno sam doradio postojeće surle i dodao još jedan par.

    SEB: „U proteklom tjednu nastavio sam rad na konverziji topovskog Snail Knighta.

    Na metalne dijelove (spajalicu) sam dodao Liquid Green Stuff (od GSW-a) i onda ga stipplao spužvicom da dobijem efekt hrđe plus algi kako bi cjelokupni dojam bio: upravo su izašli iz vode.

    ANTONI: "I named the army (cult) for Turnip28 Feast of Charybdis. The entire army is based on crabs. And it will consist of 1 Toff, 2 Toadies, a cannon and a unit on "horses" of three pieces and 12 Napoleonic British soldiers who will form the gunlines.

    In addition to those figures, there will also be this Scuttler that I worked on this week. It's a cool unit because it doesn't deploy in deployment, but comes out of the mud in the first turn and gets some crazy charges"

I started with elephant conversions.

    ... and then I continued to convert the other figures. In fact, the army will be made up of an elephant (Probiscis) with a figure lying in a deckchair stretched between two trees on the elephant's back. Next to him there will be 6 x brutes (men-at-arms), then 3 x Bastards (knights on horses) and 12 x Fodder (Austrian Napoleonics) whose heads and torsos I will change..."

    The army will consist of a Toff (leader), 2 snail knights, 4 cheffs and 1 unit of 6 Brutes. Today I started work on the second snail knight which will actually be a cannon.“

Pored njega bit će tu 6 x brutes (men-at-armsi), zatim 3x Bastards (vitezovi na konjima) te 12x Fodder (austrijski napoleonci kojima ću mijenjati glave i torzoe…“

    In this series of articles, we will follow my work on a new diorama, another in the 1986 series. This time, we take you behind the Iron Curtain to Czechoslovakia.

    Next are the final details, which are not necessarily connected to each other, nor were they done in the chronological order in which these articles are published. They simply were not connected to the rest of the story in the articles, so they all deserve their own mish-mash article. First, preparing the substation for painting by spraying the interior black. So that it will be dark inside through the openings in the doors and windows. Once the substation is fixed to the base, this will be impossible to do.

    From the clear plastic that I also used to make the fence, I cut out the shape of the window for the substation.

    In the box with the bits I also found a barrel in good scale so I assembled that too.

    Finally, there was corrosion on the door. First, I thinned the holes in the gate panels using a drill.

    Then I added hinges to the door and gate. I made them out of paper clips.

    I also added a lamp above the entrance to the substation. Given the thin rod it hangs from, I drilled a hole in the substation wall and pinned the lamp that way.

    This concludes the work on this diorama. Now it's time for painting and vegetation.

    Na redu su završni detalji, koji nisu nužno povezani jedni sa drugima, niti su odrađeni u vremenskom slijedu kako izlaze ovi članci. Jednostavno, nisu bili povezani sa ostatkom priče po člancima pa su svi skupa zaslužili svoj miš-maš članak. Prvo, priprema trafostanice za bojanje na način da je unutrašnjost posprejana u crno. Tako da kroz otvore na vratima i prozorima unutra bude mrak. Jednom kad se fiksira trafostanica na bazu, to će biti nemoguće napraviti.

    Od prozirne plastike od koje sam napravio i ogradu, izrezao sam oblik prozora za trafostanicu.

    U kutiji sa bitsima našao sam i bačvu u dobrom mjerilu pa sam i nju sastavio.

    Za kraj je ostala korozija na vratima. Prvo sam rupe u pločama na kapiji stanjio koristeći bušilicu.

    Onda sam dodao i šarke na vrata i kapiju. Njih sam napravio od spajalice.

    Dodao sam i lampu iznad ulaza u trafostanicu. S obzirom na tanku šipku o kojoj visi, izbušio sam rupu u zidu trafostanice te na taj način pinirao lampu.

    Time završava rad na ovoj diorami. Sad je na redu bojanje i vegetacija.
