As this goes out the primary pieces are all done and are being photographed for upload. variant pieces are underway and will be up by next week. I’m looking forward to seeing this project completed and available! All pieces will be off for casting by campaigns end and with a little luck painted versions will be posted in the same time frame so people can see what can be done with them.
Here is a link to the actual project:

What will set this set apart from others is the pieces will be interchangeable. Don’t like the pawns? Cool, switch them out with a variant or swap with your opponent.
There will be variants offered for all pieces by the end of the year, some will be included towards the end of this campaign!!
These also double as collectable mini busts for those who don’t play chess or just want a few pieces.
Pieces will measure 3/4 at base and be up to 2.5 to 3.5 inches tall
We will be offering a “painted tier” the quality of the paint jobs will match the prototypes shown below. That tier will be quite limited due to time constraints.
