PadawanPainter's Custom Pieces & Chessboard Project
« on: April 26, 2015, 02:45:38 AM »
This is the first of 32 pieces that I will be making for a custom 'Imperial vs Rebel' chess set.  This is the first finished piece.

Imperial Pawn #1: Jungle planet.

The figure is repainted, mainly due to my concern that the soft plastic would age differently (yellowing) than the hard plastic.  Each Imperial Pawn will portray a different planet with different terrain.  This will contrast and tie in to the Rebel Pawns, who will all have the same terrain groundwork.

The story behind the Rebel and Imperial Pawns:  The Imperial pawn all have different terrain that is to represent the missions/planets that the 8-man special forces Rebel unit operates on (the Rebel pawns represent a squad of elite commandos).  So, as the Rebel pawns go on missions (face up against Imperial pawns), the team is slowly getting killed off on these highly dangerous hit-and-run operations on planets controlled by the Empire.

Here's a piece I did over a year ago.  I'm just getting around to taking pictures of it now that I'm dedicating more time to producing work.

It's supposed to be a battle-hardened veteran of Geonosis near the end of the battle.

Haven't updated this thread in a while!!

Here is my WWI inspired trooper I made during summer.  This is one of the Imperial Pawns for the chess board.

Thanks!  I'm all done with my Stormtrooper pawns.  I'm ALMOST done with the 8 Rebel commando pawns, and the back row of the Imperial pieces (Vader, Palpatine, Royal Guards, and Imperial military flag and junior officers).
