Zday Chess Set
Aug 18 2008, 4:07 PM EDT ok guys, little off topic here but i thought this would be fun. i am gonna be designing a chess set of zombies vs humans. i got a few ideas on how to distinguish the zombies (bishop=zombie with a bloody pope hat, knight=zombie in plate rusted broken plate mail) where i get lost is the human side, how to distinguish all the pieces for humans, and the zombie rook queen and king. lemme know and when i finish the set i will post pics. Do you find this valuable? |

Sep 4 2008, 5:32 PM EDT well the king could be just bigger and a lot more bloodier because its the alpha male of the pack and the queen would be big but not as big as the king and has a tiara. the pawns are just women and children(im mean XD) the knights will have helmets on with sword for melee, bishops could have the bishop hats with a mace, the king would be the leader that is sorta biggerthan the rest and is better suited for the attack then the others like swat armour,a shotgun, a sword and a hand grenade or 2. the queen is a female that has a couple guns and has the same armour but the armour is ment for a female so its lighter and not as durable as the males. the rooks hmm.... zombies has metal rods sticking out from it from failed attamps to kill it by survivores. and somewhat bloody. the humans has metal rods in hand and light armour for speed. leather chaps,trenchcoat(leather) and a bike helmet. just my ideas hope they help some :).

RE: Zday Chess Set
Sep 5 2008, 8:49 AM EDT ok guys and gals, thanx for the help. i got it figured out. i am actually gonna make 2 sets, one is zday, the other is small outbreak at a highschool. for the highschool set the chars will be the same, just one zombified and the other armed. it goes as such.prom king and queen, complete with sash and crowns, football players in full pads for knights, cheerleaders for bishops, teachers still holding a book for rooks, and children for pawns (its not mean, its reality, they wont know what to do in an outbreak, they will panick and cry, they will get et) the zday chess set is as such, humans=demolition man for rook, motorcycle rider for knight, clergy for bishop, average dressed humans (us) armed for pawns, king is swat male, full armor, queen is swat female (very distinctly female) in full swat armor. Zombie side is, zombie with rods, holes and missing a leg for rook, zombies wearing some platemail and helmets for knights, zed ina pope hat for bishop, zombie children for pawns, king is zombie in full tails tux, and queen is nicly dressed upperclass famale with tiara. one of the pawns will be drressed and holding a basket, the little flower girl, and one will be in tux clutching pillow with 2 rings sewn on it. basically, zombies invaded a high class wedding, and these were the only ones not entirely consumed. now the fun part, construction, gonna be a low temp curing model clay that i can fire in my oven and new chess board, after being stained it will be splattered with red and brown stuff for effect. any more ideas lemme know Do you find this valuable? |

Sep 5 2008, 7:15 PM EDT You could do Zombie side and Soldiers. Kind is a General Rooks would be tanks Pawns infantry. Zombie would have the undead pope guy or maybe undead troops on that side. the possibilities are endless. How are you casting the pieces btw? Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Zday Chess Set
Sep 8 2008, 1:09 PM EDT hmm... if you were to either get lots of cans and melt them is you have a way to do it and put them in a mold if you have any or can make it. or just turn in the cans and keep the money in a can labled Z day chess set funds. you could sell things on ebay ot craigslist to help with the funds. to help save money you could use a regular chess set and build off of that.

Sep 8 2008, 4:54 PM EDT How do you melt the cans? Ive tried and I just burn them with propane. I would love to melt them so I can pour into molds. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Zday Chess Set
Sep 8 2008, 7:09 PM EDT the fumes would be terrible and the liquid mix stuff is expensive. However I have been doing some research since my last post and... http://www.instructables.com/id/STEXSFJF8JUSZ06/ However the method described to cut the propane tank gave me a shiver of panic. I would use an "empty" tank and then shoot a hole into it from a fair distance. Then fill it with water. Now you Know it is indeed empty. The reason I say "empty" is because NO tank is truely empty until something else is used to fill up the space and push out the original gas. Look into it. DO NOT repeat DO NOT cut a propane tank or other flammable gas tank without knowing your shit. Or you will make quick and easy finger shrapnel. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Zday Chess Set
Sep 8 2008, 8:52 PM EDT lol, this should be good. Anyways, I thought the humans should be more futuristic. The human king should be a big, bloody, person with a Gears of War armor. The queen could be a Lara Croft kind of girl with a Desert Eagle in one hand and a Mac 10 in the other. The knights could be ripped, shirtless, badass lookng civilians with steel pipes and shotguns. The bishops could be a priest in black with the white collar thing with small handguns. The rooks could be heavily armored soldiers with gattling guns. The pawns would be office workers with bloody shirts and revolvers. The zombie pawns would be zombiefied hobos. The knights could be a zombiefied SWAT. The rooks could be zombie office workers with 50 different edged weapons stuck to it and a missing arm. The bishops should be people wearing priest gowns with a chainsaw stuck through it. The queen should be a zombie rich girl in a night dress. The king would be a buff rage zombie with its guts hanging out. Do you find this valuable? |

Sep 20 2008, 5:02 PM EDT "wax?"hmm wax is cheap inexpensive and if you melt the sented one you can have a sented zombie :D. you can always use candles but you might wantt buy them from the store and you need a mold for it because it turns solid within a few moments, so less time needed for the cooling and they are water proof too.
