I printed all parts needed to complete one piece each of the red<\/em> Nautical Chess set:<\/p>\n I made some adjustments to the Bishop to conform to the standard Staunton rule of height order. King, Queen, Bishop, Knight, Rook, Pawn. I still have to print a second Bishop, Knight and Rook for each color, and seven more Pawns for each.<\/p>\n The good news about this set is if you want to forgo the base and body, you could use just the heads and you’d have a very damn-decent travel chess set!<\/p>\n Then I glanced to my right and saw my TARDIS Diorama, with the TARDIS on a street corner, and realized it was missing something: A Royal Mail box:<\/p>\n So I quickly modeled one and printed it in two sizes.
