Going Wild with BCE Blitz Colors

A few days ago a box of filament has been delivered, some exotic flavors were ordered. The machine was loaded immediately. Reporting results.

Here' a Blitz set in ultramarine blue and semitransparent on the light side.

Then there is this one in violent violet paired with pure white. Purple Rain, anyone?

Very nice, the red looks really vibrant with the yellow or gold top on the bishop.

The plastic version looks too toy-like. Wood is better but is too pricy.

Chess can be played from ages 5 to 105. I have the wood and 4 versions of this BCE set. More to arrive. They brighten my chessboard atmosphere quite nicely, but to each his own.

I have to say EG3, you're persistent in requesting such an action.

Let me remind you that my fortress of solitude is tighter than Fort Knox here in the States.

Ever heard of this place?

It's IMPENETRABLE or better phrased "Mission Impossible" Ian Hunt!

You will have to ask your country's Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, to train you in special skill sets to even try to crack the first of 20 layers of security, besides President Trump knows of my chess cache and has assigned Black Ops divisions dotted along the perimeter and then some of my abode.

You have your work cut out for you Ian Hunt uh I mean EG3, this transmission will self-destruct within 5 seconds of hearing it and or upon completion of reading these mission parameters.  FYI. evil.png

You do realize that now you are our resident expert on these sets, well at least our resident consumer expert.

Yes, quite Ron, I have contacted Jonas and he's working on some new colors for me. Soon to arrive. 

I love the style and playability of the blitz set.

Others seem to dislike his colored works, I enjoy them quite well. I'm having a future set made in violet, this color violet as shown in this model example of the PLA I've chosen. Soon to arrive in the fall.

Best Chessmen Ever Stage 1 Blitz. Arriving soon in September along with one more set.

Great colors for a well-liked and popular Blitz Stage 1 BCE chess set.

These will go well with the Red and Yellow BCE prototype magnetic board.

Colors are:

1. Silky Turquoise Green and Melon Yellow

2. Lipstick Red and Silky Yellow

The gradient color evolution of BCE Stage 1 Blitz King yellow, from Butter to Silky to Melon to Silly Gold Yellow hues. 

Which is/are your best liked yellow from this group of 4?

I own 3 with the exception of A not being in the BCE Blitz inventory. I may inclued this one as well in a future order, perhaps?

                       A                                        B                                       C                                     D

Thanks, these colors are pleasing to the eyes, not to cause a lot of eye strain then again they will be used in rapid games so that's not really a factor of concern for me. The stability of the pieces is what is crucial with this set and it passes all the marks on that point.

I have 2 more sets I'd like to have crafted (Dubrovnik and BCE Blitz). Classic colors with a slight variation to white. It will be of a marble PLA filament and a silky black. A few other interesting amenities I will request to be added to make it a really nice set of chessmen

Marble PLA

Silky Black PLA

The purple and melon color look delicious enough to eat! An amazing collection.

Quite, It has reminded me of fresh seedless purple grapes or purple plums and fresh slices of ripe melon or cling peaches in natural fruit juices . A fruit bonanza.
