  	Last year our Ili went to Japan and was kind enough to write a short story about the hobby stores she visited while there.
  
  	  
  
  	I was 3 weeks in Japan and being a geeky (and admittedly an Otaku), of course I spent most of my time there at the famous Akihabara.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Akihabara Electric Town or simply Akihabara is a district in central Tokyo that is famous for its many electronics shops and has also gained recognition as the center of Japan's otaku culture. You can find everything ranging from practical electronics models or parts to gaming and anime merchandise and of course model kits and miniatures.
  
  	  
  
  	What my partner and I didn’t expect is that all stores here are at least 5 floors and the most I know have even 10 floors! Above is probably the most famous building in Akihabara, the Akihabara Radio Kaikan. The building is 46.5 m high, is ten levels from the ground floor and has two basement levels. The current building primarily hosts stores selling otaku goods.
  
  	  
  
  	While above photos are inside Akihabara Radio Kaikan, but these are how most buildings/stores in Akhabara look like.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Since we are about building and painting miniature models, the place you MUST visit is VOLKS AKIHABARA HOBBY PARADISE 2 (Hobby Paradise 2) - it is a dream destination for every hobbyist. This massive seven-floor store is filled with everything from character goods and figures to model kits, tools, paints, and more.
  
  	On the topic of Volks, it began as a small hobby shop in 1972. In the late 1990s they produced the first Dollfie dolls, and in 1999 the first Super Dollfie doll was created by Akihiro Enku. In November 2005, Volks USA opened their first American Tenshi no Sumika store in Los Angeles, California.
  
  	  
  
  	We are going to talk a bit about Dollfie. Dollfie dolls were customization tools such as pre-rooted hair and stick-on eye decals. Later, complete dolls were released. There are various body types, male and female, with several forms and skin tones for both as well as a line of child-sized dolls. The company also produces tools and materials to customize and maintain dolls.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Basically they are almost like customising and painting miniature but on a bigger scale. This is a hobby I have had since 2005 (but only become very active in 2017).
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Volks store in Osaka - Volks Osaka Showroom.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	One place you need to visit if you're into retro gaming is SUPER POTATO! They have 6 stores total, one is in Akihabara, Tokyo and the one in Nipponbashi, Osaka is a lot bigger and has more things to offer. All the photos I shared above are from the Osaka branch. Super Potato had been referred by many as "a museum as much as a shop" based on how visitors serendipitously interact with the games on display.
  
  	  
  
  	And a cliche as they say, you always leave Japan with more luggage (or bags). We came to Japan with just one piece of luggage and 2 backpacks on us.

  	Prošle godine naša Ili je bila u Japanu i bila je toliko ljubazna da je napisala kratku priču o hobby trgovinama koje je posjetila dok je bila tamo.
  
  	  
  
  	Bila sam 3 tjedna u Japanu i, budući da sam geeky (i priznajem otaku), naravno da sam većinu vremena provela tamo u poznatoj Akihabari.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Akihabara Electric Town ili jednostavno Akihabara je četvrt u središnjem Tokiju poznata po brojnim trgovinama elektronikom, a stekla je i priznanje kao središte japanske otaku kulture. Možete pronaći sve, od praktičnih modela ili dijelova elektronike do igraće i anime robe, pa sve do kompleta modela i minijatura.
  
  	  
  
  	Ono što moj partner i ja nismo očekivali jest da sve trgovine ovdje imaju barem 5 katova, a većina koje poznajem ima čak 10 katova! Iznad je vjerojatno najpoznatija zgrada u Akihabari, Akihabara Radio Kaikan. Zgrada je visoka 46,5 m, nalazi se na deset katova od prizemlja i ima dva podrumska kata. U sadašnjoj zgradi se uglavnom nalaze trgovine koje prodaju otaku robu.
  
  	  
  
  	Iako su gornje fotografije unutar Akihabara Radio Kaikana, ovako izgleda većina zgrada/trgovina u Akhabari.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Budući da se bavimo izradom i bojanjem minijaturnih modela, mjesto koje MORATE posjetiti je VOLKS AKIHABARA HOBBY PARADISE 2 (Hobby Paradise 2) - to je destinacija iz snova za svakog hobista. Ova ogromna trgovina na sedam katova puna je svega, od robe s likovima i figurama do maketa, alata, boja i još mnogo toga.
  
  	Što se tiče Volksa, započeo je kao mala hobi trgovina 1972. Krajem 1990-ih proizveli su prve Dollfie lutke, a 1999. Akihiro Enku stvorio je prvu Super Dollfie lutku. U studenom 2005. Volks USA otvorio je svoju prvu američku trgovinu Tenshi no Sumika u Los Angelesu u Kaliforniji.
  
  	  
  
  	Pisat ću malo o Dollfieju. Dollfie lutke bile su alati za prilagodbu poput unaprijed ukorijenjene kose i naljepnica za oči koje se samoljepe. Kasnije su izdane i gotove lutke. Postoje različiti tipovi tijela, muški i ženski, s nekoliko oblika i tonova kože za oboje, kao i linija lutaka dječje veličine. Tvrtka također proizvodi alate i materijale za prilagodbu i održavanje lutaka.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	U osnovi su gotovo kao prilagodba i bojanje minijatura, ali u većoj skali. Ovo je hobi koji prakticiram od 2005. (ali sam postala vrlo aktivna tek 2017.).
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Volks trgovina u Osaki - Volks Osaka Showroom.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	Jedno mjesto koje morate posjetiti ako volite retro igre je SUPER POTATO! Imaju ukupno 6 trgovina, jedna je u Akihabari u Tokiju, a ona u Nipponbashiju u Osaki je puno veća i ima više toga za ponuditi. Sve fotografije koje sam podijelila gore su iz podružnice u Osaki. Super Potato su mnogi nazivali "muzejem koliko i trgovinom" na temelju načina na koji posjetitelji slučajno komuniciraju s izloženim igrama.
  
  	  
  
  	I klišej kako kažu, uvijek napuštaš Japan s više prtljage (ili torbi). Mi smo u Japan došli samo s jednim komadom prtljage i dva ruksaka.

  	This year, Agram Arena – an international tabletop strategy game competition – was back on the schedule. The team decided to organize a two-day campaign for Necropolis 28. It is an interesting game that has a very good hobby aspect, as it also involves making a gaming board. So I decided to join in and make one. This article follows my work on the board whose working title was Red Temple of Light…
  
  	
  
  	I imagined the terrain as a temple made of brick towers, connected by bridges. Aesthetically, I wanted it to look like it was in the process of being demolished or built.
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	I made the towers from cardboard rolls for holding blueprints from local newspapers and for rolls of foil.
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	The decision to texture the bricks fell on cutting individual bricks from XPS, since that way I could get the most realistic joints between the towers and bridges.
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	Since it seemed too tall for practical use in the game, I decided to magnetize the towers and separate them from the base – that way I can store everything more easily and the players can remove the tower for easier play.
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	I painted the building red, and the terrain is a textured paste in the color of “mud” with a few reddish colors added using the drybrush technique.

  	Ove godine, na raspored se vratila Agram Arena – međunarodno natjecanje u stolnim strateškim igrama. Ekipa je odlučila organizirati dvodnevnu kampanju za Necropolis 28. Zanimljiva je to igra u koju je jako dobro ukomponiran hobby aspekt jer pretpostavlja i izradu igraće table. Ovaj članak prati moj rad na tabli radnog naziva Red Temple of Light…
  
  	
  
  	Teren sam zamislio kao hram načinjen od ciglenih tornjeva, povezanih mostovima. Estetski sam htio da izgleda kao da je u procesu rušenja ili gradnje.
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	Tornjeve sam radio od kartonskih valjaka za držanje nacrta iz narodnih novina i za role folije.
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	Odluka za teksturu cigli je pala na rezanje zasebnih ciglica od XPS-a, s obzirom da bih tako mogao dobiti najrealnije spojeve između tornjeva i mostova.
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	Kako mi se činilo previsoko za praktičnu uporabu u igri, odlučio sam magnetizirati tornjeve i odvojiti ih od baze – tako mogu sve lakše spremiti i igrači mogu maknuti toranj za lakšu igru.
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	
  
  	Obojao sam zgradu crveno, a teren je teksturirana pasta boje „blata“ sa drybrush tehnikom dodanih par crvenkastih boja.

  	This year, Agram Arena – an international tabletop strategy game competition – was back on the schedule. The team decided to organize a two-day campaign for Necropolis 28. It is an interesting game that has a very good hobby aspect, as it also involves making a gaming board. So I decided to join in and make one. This article follows my work on the board whose working title was Acropolis…
  
  	The first thing to do was to cut a board of good dimensions. The boards are 16’’x16’’, or 40cm x 40cm. Luckily, I had a board that width so I “only” needed to cut one cut to get the right size board. After sawing, I sanded the cut and placed the 3D printed parts of the Greek (Athena) temple and was quite happy with the layout.
  
  	  
  
  	After that, I started adding volume to the base using Styrofoam. I used 2cm and 5cm thick boards..
  
  	  
  
  	Then I started to cut out the shape of the terrain. In places I decided to have small cliffs, and in other parts to have a slight slope. In parallel, I placed elements (temple, pillars, cypresses) at each step to check how everything worked..
  
  	  
  
  	I made a frame out of 25x5mm slats, and then started filling the holes between the boards (PVA and DAS clay mortar) and adding cliffs (tree bark).
  
  	  
  
  	Then I added texture – I sprinkled sand of different grain sizes onto the PVA base. I sprinkled the road with the smallest grain size, while the future grassy terrain received two or, in some places, three grain sizes..
  
  	  
  
  	When everything was dry, I sprayed everything black and then white and started painting with the primary colors.
  
  	  
  
  	Then I drew out the highlights in lighter shades and added details like ivy on the columns and patina on the bronze statues..
  
  	  
  
  	The next step was to add vegetation. I used two types of static grass, as well as tufts and shrubs. Finally, I planted cypress trees in the avenue..
  
  	  
  
  	The last detail was the addition of Charybdis, or rather its tentacles, which were also 3D printed.
  
  	  
  
  	The last step was to add the resin. I used Gedeo Crystal Resin tinted with blue Pebeo Vitrail, while the waves were made of water gel. That completed the board!

  	Ove godine, na raspored se vratila Agram Arena – međunarodno natjecanje u stolnim strateškim igrama. Ekipa je odlučila organizirati dvodnevnu kampanju za Necropolis 28. Zanimljiva je to igra u koju je jako dobro ukomponiran hobby aspekt jer pretpostavlja i izradu igraće table. Stoga sam se odlučio pridružiti i izraditi jednu tablu. Ovaj članak prati moj rad na tabli radnog naziva Akropola…
  
  	Prvo što je valjalo napraviti je bilo izrezati ploču dobrih dimenzija. Table su 16’’x16’’, odnosno 40cm x 40cm. Srećom, imao sam dasku te širine pa sam “samo” trebao izrezati jedan rez da bih dobio tablu prave veličine. Nakon piljenja, pobrusio sam rez i postavio 3D printane dijelove grčkog (Ateninog) hrama i bio podosta zadovoljan rasporedom.
  
  	  
  
  	Nakon toga, od stirodura sam krenuo dodavati volumen na bazu. Koristio sam 2cm i 5cm debele ploče.
  
  	  
  
  	Zatim sam krenuo izrezivati oblik terena. Na mjestima sam odlučio imati male litice, a drugi dio pak da bude lagana kosina. Paralelno sam i svakom koraku postavljao elemente (hram, stupove, čemprese) da provjerim kako sve funkcionira.
  
  	  
  
  	Od letvica 25x5mm sam napravio okvir, a potom krenuo popunjavati rupe između ploča (PVA i DAS glinamol) te dodavati litice (kora od drveta).
  
  	  
  
  	Potom sam dodao teksturu – na PVA podlogu sam posipao pjesak različite granulacije. Put sam posipao najmanjom granulacijom, dok je budući travnati teren dobio dvije ili mjestimično tri granulacije.
  
  	  
  
  	Kada se sve osušilo, posprejao sam sve u crno pa zatim u bijelo te krenuo bojati osnovnim bojama.
  
  	  
  
  	Zatim sam izvukao hajlajte svjetlijim nijansama te dodao detalje poput bršljana po stupovima i patine na brončanim kipovima.
  
  	  
  
  	Sljedeći korak bilo je dodavanje vegetacije. Koristio sam dvije vrste statičke trave te tuftove i grmlje. Za kraj posadio sam i čemprese u drvored.
  
  	  
  
  	Zadnji detalj bilo je dodavanje Haribde, odnosno njenih krakova koji su također bili 3D print.
  
  	  
  
  	Posljednji korak bilo je dodavanje rezina. Koristio sam Gedeo Crystal Resin obojan u plavu Pebeo Vitrail boju, dok su valovi izrađeni od water gela. Time je završena izrada table!

  	The exhibition of miniatures and models "Agram 2026" was held this year from 19.2. to 08.03. 2026. The exhibition was set up on Wednesday 18.2. and was attended by a large number of members and friends of the Association who exhibited their works.
  
  	 
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	The opening of the Exhibition took place on Thursday, February 19, 2026, starting at 6:00 PM. The exhibition was organized on the occasion of our twenty-third birthday.
  
  	 
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	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 23 years, such as the UMS „Agram“ Library and Reading Room, the Workshop for Making Spatial Models and the Miniature Painting Workshop, as well as new ones such as the Agram Group Build, the Agram Lego Section and the Back to Basics painting workshop for the youngest.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	It was a special honor for us to host our guest exhibitor, Ninoslav Luk, a miniaturist from Poreč, who introduced himself to us with his collection of historical dioramas.

  	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. There was no shortage of morning neccessities like coffe and doughnuts.

  	MINIATURE PAINTING WORKSHOPS
  
  	The ZZTK premises allow workshops to be held during the weekend in the cinema hall in the basement, so we also organized demonstration workshops during the weekend. The lecturers' work was recorded with a camera and projected onto the projection screen in the hall. Many thanks to our domestic and international lecturers: Anže Zorko (SLO), doc.dr.sc. Winton Afrić (CRO), Ivan Knezović (UMS Agram) and Petar Knezoviću (CRO).

  	With that, we came to the very end of this wonderful weekend and all that was left was the awarding of prizes and recognition to the winners.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	AGRAM ARENA – Leaving Asphodel Necropolis28 Campaign

  	The workshop was held over two days (the entire weekend) and participants painted up to three different figures for the game Trench Crusade. The focus of these lectures was on painting the popular grimdark style minis. The workshop presented paints and equipment, figure preparation, several miniature painting techniques from basic to advanced, and techniques and tricks for quickly and efficiently painting larger quantities of figures at once. Water-based acrylic paints were used as part of the workshop.

  	On Sunday 08.03.2026. The exhibition was over, our exhibits safely stored, and the Gallery cleaned.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	The most important part of every year when holding this Exhibition is the social aspect, the socializing of our members both among themselves and with our international friends who visit us! With these few photos from our joint gatherings, we greet you until next year!

  	Otvorenje Izložbe održalo se u četvrtak, 19.2.2026. s početkom u 18:00h. Izložba je organizirana povodom našeg dvadeset trećeg rođendana.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	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 23 godinu provodi poput Knjižnice i čitaonice UMS „Agram“, Radionice za izradu prostornih maketa i Radionice bojanja minijatura, ali i novih poput Agram Group Build, Agram Lego Sekcije i Back to Basics radionica bojanja za najmlađe.

  	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. Niti jutarnja okrijepa nije usfalila zahvaljujući našim revnim volonterima.
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	  
  
  	U podne, sve vitrine su bile pune i natjecanje je moglo službeno početi.
