3D Designs for Bulldog Pieces
I was thinking of making a 3d zombie er sum bulldog piece, what 3D platform do ya use,??
I can 3D print in the public library free.lel
That is totally cool! Do you have access to 3D graphical versions of other chess pieces? It would be cool to see them all together.![]()
I just started making a physical chess piece for the witch. (I'm not good with CAD software). This was made with cut-up pieces from other chess pieces.

I started making a wood version of the guard today. I'm just doing a little a day - should be done in a day or two.![]()

AWESOME.
Yes the guard will be very difficult.

toothpicks for the spikes
The spikes will be more hefty than toothpicks - I'm carving them from a 1/4" dowel. I drilled holes in the top of a rook to attach the spikes. The first rook got obliterated when drilling it. Next one cracked, but I glued it back together. More problems than I anticipated, so please wait 2-3 more days.![]()
That would look good. I just think a guard should be a little heftier than a pawn.
Also, you're right. Drilling is a bad way to attach the spikes. I ruined two rooks trying to drill holes in them. Cracked and broke apart.
So I rounded the top of a rook, and sanded some flat spots on it. I glued the spikes on. Now I just have to give him a body.
Also, I made the witch a little taller by increasing the height of its pedestal:

I am currently only done with the Gaurd but I will make more soon. Here is what I have:
