[MOC] - Airship Chess

[EVE]

After playing some old steampunk games, I decided to make a chess set using airships as playing pieces!

 

Left to right: pawn, bishop, rook, knight, king, queen

Queen: Devastator-class dreadnought. A fearless vessel bristling with broadsides and gun casemates.

 

King: Pisces-class ferry. A weak, slow craft reserved for the ceremonial head of state.

 

Rook: Scorpion-class carrier. A new invention, this vessel can strike targets at range with its fighter biplanes.

 

 

Bishop: Shrike-class pursuit craft. A nimble vessel capable of dashing through openings in the enemy's defenses.

 

Knight: Hornet-class strike craft. The Hornet is light and agile, allowing it to vanish behind enemy lines before unleashing a storm of autocannon fire.

 

 

Pawn: Mayfly-class attack balloon. Mayflies are slow and weak, easily overcome by the enemy's flak batteries.

And he sacrifices the roooooook!

These are nice! The queen looks impressive, the king rather poor. My favorite part are the rooks' beplanes. Well done

This is so unbelievably cool!

Wow. Oh yes, the "ceremonial head of the state" has exactly the right-sized ship

Thank you so much for sharing! I'd love to put some of these randomly in my LEGO "room". Really nice.

All the best,
Thorsten

Very cool and absolutely unique!

The bishop has always been my favorite piece!

Simmilar to Last Exile ships.
