Description

This set of three double moulds which cast the six pieces required to make a complete chess set side: King, Queen, Bishop, Knight, Rook, Pawn. You will require about 16 bars of metal to complete a full chess set. Chess Painting Guide (PDF).

Come now to the ancient forest of Sherwood, beneath the oaks older than history. Robin hood, Maid Marrion, Friar Tuck & the Merry Men sit laughing. Robin is hatching another bold plan to rob the rich to feed the poor. Beyond the greenwood, in his stone keep, sits Robin’s arch enemy the Sheriff of Nottingham, backed by the forces of Church and State, plotting the downfall of the outlaws. Share in this archetypal drama as your game unfolds.

Our chess set brings to life the Story of Robin Hood with detailed and well proportioned figures. We have two sides, Robin Hood of Sherwood and The Sheriff of Nottingham.

The tale of Robin Hood has been retold by many generations. Is your first Robin Hood from the classic illustrations and text of Howard Pyle's 1883 "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood" which is still in print to this day? Did you first encounter the tale with the swashbuckling Errol Flynn film "The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)" or the Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn's film "Robin and Marian" released in 1976 or Disney's live-action version "The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men" in 1952, or even the 1973 animated classic or even Kevin Costner's 1991 film? Every one will have their own favourite, the legend of the folk hero remains ever popular.

The story is older than you might think. The 1226 court records tell of a man named Robert Hod who was seized by the Sheriff of York. This Sheriff later became the Sheriff of Nottingham. The court rolls of Wakefield, England, in 1316 and 1317, record Robert Hood and his wife Mathilda. This has been also speculated as the original Robin Hood. The poem "A Gest of Robyn Hode" was printed sometime around 1510, which tell many of the aventures in the modern tale. We will never know which are the true facts, however it is the spirit of freedom and independence that has endeared him to many generations.

    Mould

    The master they used had its spear bent. To straighten it out you have a 50/50 chance of breaking it off. Poor quality control. Lots of mistakes in the painting charts for the models too. Response from Prince August. We are sorry for the slight bend in the top of the spear. Bronze masters get put under a lot of pressure and minor bending can occur over time. Usually it is easy for a casting to be corrected. Usually bend the spear immediately after removal from the mould before it goes completely cold so that it will be more flexible. If you spotted errors in the painting chart please contact us and we will correct them.

    I take this opportunity to submit my review for the molds for these chess figures. First I want to point out that the pawn piece poles are carved into the mold. It points toward the play's head. All images are the straight. The horse mold lacks its proper shield, it does not match the pictures on the box, the bottom of the shield is missing. Since these new molds in much softer material than the old set of molds I bought locally here in Sweden. The old set was Robin Hood chess pieces. Overall, this was a bad product for the price I paid. Below is my review on Swedish when I heard that your owner is Swedish. Jag tar tillfället i akt att lämna min recension för gjutformarna för dessa schack figurer. Först vill jag påpeka att bonde pjäsen spjutspets är sned i gjutformen. Den pekar in mot pjäsens huvud. På alla avbildningar är den rak. Hästens gjutform saknar sin korrekta sköld, den överensstämmer inte med bilderna på förpackningen, underdelen på skölden saknas. Sedan är dessa nya gjutformar i mycket mjukare material än den gamla uppsättningen gjutformar jag köpt lokalt här i sverige. Den gamla uppsättningen var Robin Hoods schack pjäser. Överlag var detta en dålig produkt för det pris jag betalat. Prins August kommentar: Det vär tråkigt att du inte var nöjd med gjutformarna. Jag misstänker att du har använt en metall som inte flyter ut. Verktygen som vi använder, är dom samma som vi hade från början. Så det ska inte vara någon skillnad mot dina tidigare gjutningar. Beträffande mjukare gummi så vill jag påpeka att gummi hårdnar med åldern. Om du inte är nöjd med en form,så erbjuder vi att byta ut dem mot en ny. mvh Lars
