One should always be a little improbable.

a full set could be an incredible post war trade item.

evelyn/evelyn could be the rook

on a light cardboard.
some assembly required

ask PWT if they are interested?

PWT material? I don't know :-). I'd like to complete all pieces.. still have some to go and make it suitable for printing. I was wondering what the pawn should be... a plastic soldier? a deer as for a knight? and bishop? Anyway, all suggestions are welcome  :icon_farao:

(The rook will be redone as suggested)

the pictures used are taken from stills of a Evelyn/Evelyn video
+ampersand reference
+ambigram Evelyn   (the middle should read Evelyn from both sides)

I came up with the idea after reading the history of the Landlord game (now known as monopoly), DIY people made the board by hand by drawing it on paper.

the reason i suggested e/e as the rook,
is that the rook in some sets is a castle above
an elephant

so may have e/e on top of an elephant/elephant
which is a song they sing

living statues might be a possibility for some of the pieces.

redo the queen as the 8ft bride?
