Chessboard was finished a couple days ago.  Just got started taking pictures of the last 8 pieces.  I had to rebuild my old photo setup with the marble chess board and black backdrop (been using bright white backdrop for my non-chess pieces).

I'll start posting pictures this evening.

It's pretty much done!  Just time to roll out pictures of the last pieces.

I'm still trying to figure out how to take decent pictures of the board with the pieces on it.  40" is difficult to take professional-looking pictures without an actual photo studio!

Probably going to get some black drapes and hang them up as a backdrop.

Both the Rebel Alliance High Command Security Trooper and the Scout Commander are awesome mate.

Well I can sure see why you would want the final reveal to look professional with all that work. Each piece is just an astounding work of art.

I would think this would look great in a panoramic shot too.

Here's the Rebel Fleet Trooper.  It's the other chess rook!!

For the High Command Security Trooper, the idea was the base was stone from one of the Rebel hidden bases, pulling security for Rebel High Command.

For this guy, I wanted to pull from the movies, so I designed the base to be as though he's on a rebel cruiser, stepping out from a side room with dirty unpolished flooring onto the polished white panels.
