Some Stacking Action (New Pix added)

shadesofgrey · #1 (**permalink**) 04-08-2007, 10:06 PM

I've never made a bridge before with poker chips... Thought i would give it a try... the second one kind of turned in to some kind of stonehenge thing

some pix for you. nothing special, but since we were stuck inside all day for easter - thought It would be fun for the kids (and ME)

I might try a sphere next or a dome next... That dome I did in the center of the second one, didnt quite turn out like I thought it would...

Any suggestions on shapes or designs to try?

I am very impressed. That bridge is the bomb.

I say you build aqueduct replicas next.

Chip architecture. Tres cool!

I suggest erecting a replica of the Coliseum next to the aqueduct...

Nice job and great pics. Thanks for sharing.

Sweet SoG! Did you unwarp all those Pharaohs? I'm so on the fence with getting a set of NCV Pharaohs because I have a sample set and I just love em, but the warped issue and the microwave and oven baking unwarping methods bug me that I would need to do them to get the chips unwarped...

I want em I want I want em!

Thanks everyone... I think I might try out the colliseum or some other wonder of the world.... Hagia Sophia, the Taj Mahal, or even the eiffel tower would be cool...

Those took around 30-minutes.. if that.. I could see the Hagia Sophia taking eons to construct. but it would be cool!

Nope, I didnt unwarp them... Those are the original NCV pharaohs that have the 'paulson' mold. I absolutely love them. I cant say much about the new pharaoh NCV molds since I only have a sample set of them..
