HA vs BK (Surefire Chess Set)

[smopoim86]

Anyone care to calculate the cost to put this set together?

Great pic.. I need to get a little more creative with my photography.

 

[Chrontius]

Anyone send a link to Surefire?

 

[Illum]

care to post that image link in big fat dimensions?

I have access to a plotter than can print color 24" x 36" if I need it. Getting the professor to accept it as a design model will be the challange

Al vs Ti sounds good to me...

A Peak LED Solutions SS vs brass would be cool too. And Mags, black vs silver and the 6D's the king

Very awesome concept!

Yeah, but where would you find enough 1D mags to make that set? :devil:

Well I was thinking of Solitaires, 2AA incan Mini, 3AA LED Mini, 2C, 4C and 6D.

That's a great idea for a photo, and very unique!

Just one small detail: IIRC, you have the board turned the wrong way. There has to be a white field on the first row on the right hand side of each player. If you don't have it that way, the queen and the king swap their positions. You can't play it with the black field on the right side

So what's the cost of getting one of those together?

I want to see more pictures of the 6P-HA and 6PD-HA bezels.

The print I made for Dafab is about 13"x19". There are shops nearby who can easily handle full poster or even wall size prints.

There has to be a white field on the first row on the right hand side of each player.
If you don't have it that way, the queen and the king swap their positions.

Thanks for the note. The board I chose had some defects that kept showing up in the image, so I turned it.
The best I could do here was having the black queen on a black square.

I want to see more pictures of the 6P-HA and 6PD-HA bezels.

I've already returned the custom HA natural stuff, but here's a better view of the 6P, courtesy of Moddoo:

We're doing a run of custom HA 6Ps and 6PD's now, but they will be black.

A run of custom HA natural parts is possible. For all the natural HA parts to match, producing a cosmetically perfect set, they would all have to be refinished together.

That is so cool! :thumbsup:

That photo would be a great advertisement for Surefire.
Something like Putting other flashlight in checkmate since 1979

Re: HA vs BK

Damn, I wish I had noticed that sale thread. I think I was busy with other things at the time though. 6P + HA = Awesomeness.
