I build a chess set using some sample epoxy, chess board & piece molds, pearlescent pigments & pallet wood. For the colours of the pieces & squares, I used an opaque deep red pigment (fire) & a translucent sky blue pigment (ice). My 1st design attempt at the box involved using thin board, pallet wood & hinges, but this design will be adjusted in future.
