Stardusty Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 This entry is awesome. Chess is my favourite boardgame (better than LEGO's to) and you are defintly(erm... spelling?) getting my vote Do you want to play? And to bad for wrong colored squares. Anyway, it looks great! Good luck in contest! Quote
Oky Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Oh, silly me. I guess not having played chess for a long time, I have forgotten the setup rules. Since it seems to bother you guys so much, here's a picture of it with the right order of squares and queens. I have also given Jake a torch to make him stand out as the king. This is nice. But I would've used the lesser mummies as pawns rather than skeletons. Plus, the knights should be riding the scarab beetle! I only have two or three of those mummies and I don't want to buy three more Golden Staff Guardians sets just for this entry. And the scarab is well over 4 studs long.

Stardusty Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I have one silly question. Is CM Pharaoh king or queen? If it's the king, well than, you placed him wrong. But IMHO, I think black pharoah minifig looks better like a king. I'm sorry for bothering you. Anyway, you are getting my vote. Quote
Oky Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Is it really that hard to see that it's supposed to be the Queen? I was hoping that now that the two queens are facing each other, there wouldn't be a doubt about that anymore. I guess I really do need that S5 Cleopatra... And what do you mean by "black pharaoh minifig"? Edited April 4, 2011 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote
Stardusty Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 That fig, next to CM Pharaoh. I didn't know how to describe it. It stands 7 fields in front of Jake (if that's the name of main character in PQ) and it holds gold thing wth trans-light blue crystal. I really need to pay more attention to those sets. So, CM Pharaoh is a queen. I thought he looks like a woman, but I needed to ask, just in case. Again, I'm sorry for bothering you, but on first picture he(/she?) was placed in front of Jake(?)...

Flare Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Very inventive entry, I'd buy this if it was a real set Great job Oky! Quote
Gregorovich Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Excellent idea, Oky Wan Kenobi, and you pulled It off brilliantly! I love the detailing round the board, and the overall design very nice. If this set was released, and if it wasn't too pricey, I'd get it! Quote
CMP Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Great chess set. I can see this being sold as a real set. I like the base's details. But I despise you now. Johnny Thunder is a pawn. Johnny Thunder cannot be the pawn. Quote
White Nun Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Oh my word that is just so beautiful. I'd certainly be proud to have that on display in my living room. Quote
