Charlotte Skyscraper Chess Set

This item automatically qualifies for free shipping!

The people of Charlotte clearly love our skyline, and for good reason. Every neighborhood has their own unique view, and all of them are great. After obsessively working on a scale model of Uptown for the better part of 2 years, it dawned on me that the biggest buildings in the city would translate quite well into a set of chess men. The heights of the pieces are roughly accurate to their relative size in reality, with some small tweaks for visual clarity during gameplay.

Pieces are intended for a small (1.5"-1.875" square) chess board. All chess pieces on MakingthingsCLT.com are 3D printed polymer unless otherwise specified. They can be made for a larger board on request.

“Matching Board” will order a 12” board made from the same color plastic material as your pieces. The board is puzzle fit as 4 plates for easy storage. If you would like to request a different color combination for the pieces or board please don’t hesitate to contact me.

“Granite Board” option is a 12” solid black granite plate with an applied decal and felted feet. Decal color will match the purchased pieces (white, silver, blue).
