Auction is for a LRR & Desert Bus inspired chess set. Set includes 32 metal and resin scale miniatures, each modified and painted as a different cast member or Desert Bus lore item. Play as the Tech Army - equipped with boom mic scythes, Minecraft picks, and Random Dance Party robots. Or, challenge them with Team Spoop - wielding song, spell, and Creepy Doll. 12 additional bonus minis are included, usable for prop, display, or extremely strange game of fairy chess.
At 28mm scale (~1:56), each piece doubles as a miniature for tabletop games. The wood box, made of laser-cut walnut, white poplar, and purple heart, measures 11"x11"x2" when closed. All 32 main chess pieces fit snugly into custom-sized cavities, and the magnetized lid can be fully removed for use as a massive tabletop dungeon tile.
This project represents over 6 months of crafting, thought, and love, with additional woodcraft consulting from friend Sevenishmagpies. Welcome it into your home, enjoy, and let charity win!
Wing (Sevenishmagpies) provided woodworking and lasering support for the project. Other hobbies include fibercraft and mathematical design. Her first Desert Bus was 2019, which sparked a newfound love for the event and LRR in general.
