Miniature Painting Workshop - Bretonnia

Click for enlarged picture

The workshop was held over two days (May 4 and 5) and participants painted a Bretonnian knight on horseback for the Warhammer The Old World tabletop strategy game. The focus of these lectures was 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 assembled his own knight with a spear, shield and ornamental helmet as well as a horse according to his own discretion. The workshop presented colors and accessories, preparation of figures, several techniques for painting miniatures from basic to more advanced, as well as techniques for placing stickers, and finally basing the figure. Water-based acrylic paints were used as part of the workshop.

Kup Zagreb

The Zagreb Cup, a modelling competition organized by ZMMS, was held this year over two days on May 18-19, 2024. in the Family Mall. The organizer asked us to participate by presenting our programs and projects, to which we responded with pleasure.

Mario: "I consider the Zagreb Cup a successful representation of Agram. I had fun talking to the people who came to the stand and I managed to paint the helicopter from Heavy gear. Plus, I got myself a little Jeep Grand Cherokee from the car show waiting for a diorama.”

Kruno: "This year's Zagreb Cup will remain in my memory because we represented Agram in direct contact with the visitors. I was surprised how many people are also interested in our hobby, they just didn't know that someone was "organized" into it. I can also say that I am satisfied with the result achieved in the competition. I am sorry that the number of exhibits is relatively small, but I believe that this will also change in the future."

Svet v Malem, Pivka, Slovenia

Click for enlarged picture

Svet v Malem, a model competition show 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, went with us, for whom this was also the first competition abroad in which he participated.

In addition to the competition, traditionally, our Slovenian partner Back to Basics and Miniatures.si organized miniature painting workshops. Our Marko was also invited to hold one - quick painting of the Bretonnian Man-at-Arms.

Kruno: "Traditionally, there is a lot to see at the SVM from exhibited works, shops and museum exhibits. This year I finally dared to cross paths with other competitors and I am quite satisfied with my success. The ambience, atmosphere and exhibits (museum and competition) are still impressive and I recommend everyone who hasn't been yet to dare to go."

Sebastian:” We left Zagreb for Pivka early in the morning on Saturday 25ht of May, and soon found ourselves leaving Croatia. Driving through Slovenia, to Pivka, was very nice, with lots of rich, green, tranquil landscapes, and mountains in the distance. It was my first time at the event, SVM (Svet v malem) and I was excited. Kruno and Marko have been before, but since we all had brought entries for the competition, I think we were all curious to see what the day would bring. “

„First of all, the location of the event is perfect for a miniature convention. The Park of Military History in Pivka has an interesting story, and learning about its historical and geographical importance, as well as Yugoslavian military history at their museum, was certainly interesting, although the best part of the place for me was the large airplanes, helicopters, tanks and cars hanging or standing around the venue. This brings a perfect complement and contrast to all the tiny miniatures being exhibited. The exhibition mostly consisted of military and historical vehicles, dioramas or displays, but the three of us entered in the somewhat smaller categories of "Wargaming", "What If (Sci-fi)", "Movie scenes", "Bust" and "Figures all scales". Even here though, there were some pretty good entries. But most impressive of all were some of the dioramas displaying historicial military events (also complementing the museum exhibits and several historical artefacts to be found there), such as Winter Relax, Alsace 1944, the "Best of Show" from Moson. This large, spinning diorama, complete with well-lit interiors and a completely realistic winter scene of vehicles, soldiers and equipment, was mindblowing to me so we awarded it the BEST OF SHOW by UMS AGRAM award and presented the award to the author Giampiero Bianchi. “

“ There were a lot of people at the event, but we had more than enough time and space to take in the full exhibition. I did it twice, and was glad as I got more out of it the second time. There were a few interesting workshops (one held by our Marko), several booths to buy hobby equipment as well as a plethora of Revel kits and other brands - mostly vehicles, military and civilian. A lot of people came by our humble UMS Agram booth, chatted with us, showed interest, and took our fliers. When the award ceremony finally came around, we had seen everything we needed to see - the exhibtion is not very large, and is easily taken in in an hour or so - and we just wanted to know if we would get any awards, and then go home to Zagreb. Thankfully our work was appreciated, and Marko won two medals and got two commended, Kruno one medal and two commended, and I got commended for my only entry, a Necromancer diorama (keep an eye out for an article on the making of this diorama soon) I had been working on for a month, specifically for the Pivka exhibiton. This added an extra layer of excitement for me I think, as I didn't bring several works I already had at home, but rather put all my eggs in one basket, and just made one work. It was a relief to finish it in time (I glued my last spider the night before), which filled the day with extra good vibes for me, but also left me more disappointed than I expected at not receiving a medal. Although now a few days later, the disappointment is gone, I'm happy with my commended plaque, and with the great day the three of us had in Slovenia, and have already moved on to my next project. Also, we had a great meal at Reset Brewery in Brezice on our way back to Croatia - an awesome place for beer and grill if you find yourself in the area.”

Our Mario, with the help of the local viking Sebastian, led the miniature painting workshop, which according to the program was supposed to last for two hours, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. However, due to great interest, the duration was extended until almost 5 p.m.

Parallel to the workshop in Jalžabet, our second delegation went to Budapest to defend the colors of UMS Agram at the international model competition PSMK 2024. Our team, Kruno and Marko, went there on Friday and stayed until Sunday, although 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 greats such as Margot Crombeecke, Chloe Plattner, James Zhou and Miklos Bute.

Wednesday's Hobby Corner

Click for enlarged picture

During May and June, on Wednesdays, we also continued with our gatherings in our space at Trg žrtava fašizma 14. It is nice to see that the efforts of our volunteers are paying off and that with each new week the number of users increases - as well as new members of the association who recognize the work Associations. There are more and more requests for one-on-one Workshops, so we have reactivated on that front as well.

Finally, we invite you to join us every Wednesday during the summer. In this part of the program, the association will work all summer non-stop due to vacations. (the administrative part will not work from July 10 to August 1)

    On 09-10.05.2026. we held a new weekend miniature painting workshop. This time it was the turn of a dwarf in 75mm scale.

    Click for enlarged picture

    The workshop was held over two days (a whole weekend) and the participants painted a 75mm miniature dwarf. The focus of these lectures was painting various textures - metal, human skin, textiles and leather. Water-based acrylic paints were used in the workshop. For this purpose, the workshop leader, Ivan Knezović, chose a 75mm miniature dwarf from Durgin Paint Forge, sculpted by Carlos Perez Bugedo. The lectures were adapted so that the leader devotes equal time to all participants and can be adapted to all categories of miniaturists (from beginners to slightly more advanced).

    The workshop took place as follows:
    First, the lecturer sits at his desk and explains and demonstrates each step in painting a miniature/model on his specimen. His work is displayed on a screen via a camera and projector, which the participants listen to, watch, and ask questions about.
    Then, the participants sit at their desks and apply the knowledge they have gained. The facilitator circulates among the participants and checks how each participant is doing. This way, he or she can adapt to each participant individually.

    09-10.05.2026. smo održali novu vikend Radionicu bojanja minijatura. Ovoga puta na redu je bio patuljak u 75mm mjerilu.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Radionica se provodila kroz dva dana (cijeli vikend) i polaznici su bojali 75mm minijaturu patuljka. Fokus ovih predavanja bilo je bojenje raznih tekstura – od metala, ljudske kože, tekstila i kože (leather). U sklopu radionice korištene su akrilne boje na bazi vode. U tu svrhu, voditelj radionice, Ivan Knezović, izabrao je 75 mm minijaturu patuljka tvrtke Durgin Paint Forge, koju je sculptao Carlos Perez Bugedo. Predavanja su prilagođena tako da voditelj posveti jednako vrijeme svim polaznicima i može se prilagoditi svim kategorijama minijaturista (od početnika do malo naprednijih).

    Radionica se odvijala na sljedeći način:
    Prvo, predavač sjedi za svojim stolom te objašnjava i demonstrira pojedini korak u bojanju minijature/makete na svojem primjerku. Njegov rad se preko kamere i projektora prikazuje na platnu što polaznici slušaju, gledaju, ali i postavljaju pitanja.
    Potom, polaznici sjedaju za svoje stolove i primjenjuju stečeno znanje. Voditelj kruži između polaznika i provjerava kako svakom polazniku ide. Na taj način, može se prilagoditi svakom polazniku ponaosob.

    In this short article, I will describe two ways to paint faces on a so-called tabletop standard. The text follows two versions of the painting. One will use a store-bought wash, and in the second, slightly less contrasting one, I will use a wash that I got from regular paint. This way, the reader can choose which method suits them better.

    The first step is to dye the base color.

    Left: Since I'm going to use a store-bought wash in this example, I decided to go for a darker shade of skin tone.

    Right: In this example, I'm going to use the color as a base for the wash, so I decided to go for a slightly lighter skin tone - and therefore a lighter base color.

    The next step is to apply the wash.

    Left: I use a regular, store-bought Reikkland Fleshshade wash.

    Right: On a drop of the darker skin tone, I add two drops of Lahmian Medium and a drop or two of water. This creates my own wash, which I apply similarly to the example on the left.

    Then comes the first highlight.

    Left: I apply the base color to the raised parts of the face and thus get the first highlight.

    Right: Just like in the example on the left, I use the base color as the first highlight.

    Then the second highlight.

    Left: I get the second highlight by mixing the base color with a lighter shade.

    Right: I follow the same process as on the left, with the caveat that I never use pure white to mix the highlight, it's always an off white – with a minimal amount of some pigment.

    The penultimate step is to outline the eyes.

    Left: This step is identical in both cases.

    Right: I outline the eyes with some off-white paint (to make my life easier, it's usually two lines).

    The last step is to add shadows around the mouth and eyes.

    Left: In this case, you can use a darker wash like Nuln Oil or Druchi Purple.

    Right: I mixed black and purple and added two drops of Lahmian Medium and a drop or two of water to create a darker wash, then applied the mixture to the eye sockets, making sure not to get the wash on the previously drawn eyes.

    And the last thing is drawing the pupils – just vertical lines of dark/black color against the horizontal light lines for the eyes.

    U ovom kratkom članku, opisat ću dva načina za bojanje lica na takozvanom tabletop standardu. Tekst prati dvije verzije bojanja. Jedna će koristiti kupovni wash, a u drugoj, malo manje kontrastnoj koristit ću wash kojeg sam dobio iz obične boje. Na taj način, čitatelj može izabrati koji način mu više odgovara.

    Prvi korak je bojanje u osnovnu boju.

    Lijevo: s obzirom da ću na ovom primjeru koristiti kupovni wash, odlučio sam se za tamniju nijansu boje kože.

    Desno: u ovom primjeru koristit ću boju kao osnovu za wash, tako da sam se odlučio za malo svjetliju nijansu kože – a samim time i svjetliju osnovnu boju.

    Sljedeći korak je stavljanje wash-a.

    Lijevo: Koristim običan, kupovni Reikkland Fleshshade wash.

    Desno: Na kap tamnije nijanse boje kože stavljam dvije kapljice Lahmian Mediuma i kap do dvije vode. Na taj način dobivam vlastiti wash kojeg nanosim slično kao i na lijevom primjeru.

    Zatim ide prvi highlight.

    Lijevo: Nanosim na izdignute dijelove lica osnovnu boju i na taj način dobivam prvi highlight.

    Desno: Jednako kao i u lijevom primjeru, kao prvi highlight koristim osnovnu boju.

    Potom drugi highlight.

    Lijevo: Drugi highlight dobivam mješajući osnovnu boju s nekom svjetlijom nijansom.

    Desno: Pratim isti proces kao i lijevo, uz napomenu da nikada ne koristim čistu bijelu boju za miješanje highlighta, uvijek je to neki off white – s minimalnom količinom nekog pigmenta.

    Predzadnji korak je iscrtavanje obrisa očiju.

    Lijevo: Ovaj korak je identičan u oba slučaja.

    Desno: Nekom off white bojom iscrtam obrise očiju (da si olakšam život, to su najčešće dvije crtice).

    Zadnji korak je dodavanje sjena oko ustiju i očiju.

    Lijevo: U ovom slučaju, možete koristiti tamniji wash poput Nuln Oil ili Druchi Purple.

    Desno: Pomiješao sam crnu i ljubičastu boju te dodao kap dvije Lahmian Mediuma i kad do dvije vode da dobijem tamniji wash te smjesu nanio u očne šupljine pazeći da wash ne dođe na prethodno iscrtane oči.

    I zadnja stvar je ucrtavanje zjenica – samo okomite crtice tamne/crne boje u odnosu na horizontalne svijetle crte za oči.
