Techno Chess Set

This is the result of one of last years modules. We all picked a theme out of a hat and then had to design and build a chess set based on that theme. The theme I got was Techno. After a bunch of research and a lot of design work this is what I ended up with. 


My inspiration ended up coming from the techno revolution in Germany in the early 1990's and I based the set around the idea of of a techno club during this time. Each pawn is a speaker, the King is the DJ, the Queen is a female dancer, the Bishop is a male dancer, the Knight is the bouncer and the Rook is the building istelf.

Hit the jump for the how too and some more detailed shots.
