I recently completed a 1,400-chip custom set, whose progress I’ve been posting about in various places. Now that the set is done and actually in use, I wanted to put down some thoughts about its design.
The overall look and concept has brought in a fair number of compliments. I’m sure there are others who *don’t* like it, but have politely kept silent... The ideas behind the design are not likely to be universal—to each his own. But below are some attempts to explain some of the more general concepts I tried to put into play, and I’m interested to hear contrary opinions.
