    Hello all,
    This is something different from the usual modelling I do.A chess set with a kiwi flavour.Some peices are yet to be finished and you can probably work out the peices in the picture.The figure is a high country drover and represents the bishop.The rook is a representation of corrogated tin shed used in the farming areas of NewZealand.the horse bust is the knight and the rams head represents the pawn.Comments welcome.

    I used to collect unusual chess sets. Very nice idea here and I love the knight! imho, very very nice bust of the horse!

    Hi Andy,

    Perhaps the pawns could be All Blacks doing the haka, or farmers shagging sheep???

    Maybe Ed Hilary as the King and Tiri Te Kanawa as the Queen.

    Great work mate. The horse is particularly well sculpted.

    Cheers
