Title: Custom Chess Sets Post by: RCMerchant on June 23, 2009, 04:50:18 PM Loooong ago, on the BMMB (Stomp Tokyo) there was a thread about customized chess sets. You know,like the Star Wars and Civil War chess sets? If you could design yer own chess set-what would it be?
Mine-LUGOSI vs KARLOFF! Insted of Black and White-mine would be red and green! RED-Lugosi! King-Dracula Queen-Luna (Caroll Borland from MARK OF THE VAMPIRE) Bishop-M.Legendre from WHITE ZOMBIE Knight-Ygor! Rook-Prof.Erik Vornoff from BRIDE OF THE MONSTER Pawns-Dwight Frye as Reinfield! GREEN-Karloff! King-the Frankenstein Monster Queen-Elsa Lanchester as the Bride,of course! Bishop-Im-Ho-Tep:the Mummy Knight-Fu Manchu! Rook-Bateman-the butler in the OLD DARK HOUSE Pawns-Dwight Frye as Fritz! ...oh yeah...as long as this is fantasy...the green pieces would be made of jade,and the red -rubys! Ok...yer turn!

Don't really have anyplace to put it though, and I hardly ever play chess.

Gold King - Ash! Queen - Alice Johnson Knights - Reggie Bannister and Tommy Jarvis Bishops - Father McGruder and the priest from From Dusk Till Dawn Rooks - Arnold Shwarzenegger and Jack Burton Black King - Pinhead Queen - Helena Markos Knights - Freddy and Jason Bishops - Rev. Kane and Rev. Powell Rooks - Pumpkinhead and Rawhead Rex Title: Re: Custom Chess Sets Post by: Raffine on June 24, 2009, 09:29:48 AM Kaiju Chess Toho vs. Daiei
Green - Toho King Godzilla Queen Mothra Bishop Ghidorah Knight Rodan Rook Gigan Pawns Steve Martin Red- Daiei King Gamera Queen Jiger Bishop Gyaos Knight Guiron Rook Barugon Pawns Kenny Like RC, ruby and jade would be nice. And using Frye as the pawns in both sets is a nice touch. :thumbup: Title: Re: Custom Chess Sets Post by: frank on June 24, 2009, 09:35:37 AM ... Bishops - Father McGruder and the priest from From Dusk Till Dawn ... Wasn't that Dead Alive? Nice choice, though Edit: Oops, my bad. Should read more carefully.... Title: Re: Custom Chess Sets Post by: The Burgomaster on June 24, 2009, 10:16:04 AM Doc Savage:
King - Doc Savage Queen - Pat Savage (okay, so Doc and Pat were cousins, but this is just a chess set) Bishop - Ham Knight - Renny Rook - Monk Pawns - 4 Long Tom pawns and 4 Johnny pawns Since Doc Savage fought way more villains than you would need to make a chess set, the opposing set of pieces could be just a bunch of generic bosses, thugs, and henchmen, with a moll for the Queen. Or maybe you could select which villains you wanted from various stories (e.g. John Sunlight, Tom Too, Sol Yuttal). Title: Re: Custom Chess Sets Post by: Newt on June 24, 2009, 12:21:54 PM I'd like a Barsoomian set. That'd look cool.
Title: Re: Custom Chess Sets Post by: Doggett on June 24, 2009, 12:48:26 PM Judge Dredd:
King - Judge Dredd Queen - Judge Hershey Knight - Judge Anderson Rook - Judge Sanchez Bishop - Judge Giant Pawns - Wally Squad Judges The opposing pieces would be various villians. Judge Cal would be King. Title: Re: Custom Chess Sets Post by: Hammock Rider on June 24, 2009, 02:07:14 PM 80's action movies-Heroes vs Villains
For the Heroes: King: Arnold Schawrzenegger Queen: Sigourney Weaver Knight: Chuck Norris Bishop: Bruce Willis Rook: Sylvester Stallone Pawn: Rob Schneider ( I know Judge dredd is from '95 but come on, he fits perfectly.) For the Villains King: Hans Gruber Queen: Alien Queen Knight: Clubber Lang Bishop: David Carradine Rook: The Predator Pawn:David Patrick Kelly (Solly from Commando) Title: Re: Custom Chess Sets Post by: Jim H on June 24, 2009, 03:32:20 PM 80's action movies-Heroes vs Villains For the Heroes: King: Arnold Schawrzenegger Queen: Sigourney Weaver Knight: Chuck Norris Bishop: Bruce Willis Rook: Sylvester Stallone Pawn: Rob Schneider ( I know Judge dredd is from '95 but come on, he fits perfectly.) For the Villains King: Hans Gruber Queen: Alien Queen Knight: Clubber Lang Bishop: David Carradine Rook: The Predator Pawn:David Patrick Kelly (Solly from Commando) I'd buy it! Myself, I was working on carving my own set at one point, but the project fell apart. I had trouble getting enough raw materials of the appropriate size, plus my tools were inadequate at the time. Might go back to it, but the basic concept: I used purchased white cylinder wood to make the white side. Clean, well-shaped wood. The dark side I found random old wood sticks in the back yard and woods around my house. They're discolored, malformed, and ugly, and of somewhat various sizes. It looked pretty cool actually.

King Crab for the King A T-Bone Steak for the Queen A Chilidog for the Bishop A Pizza for the Rook A Taco for the Knight And pints of Ben & Jerry's for the Pawns Man I'm hungry. . .

Everyone else: torn and shredded-what-is-peeking-out-there? kinds. :smile: |
