Aurora star inspired hot stamps (1 Viewer)

[davislane]

Keep in mind the AS isn't oiled (unless you did it), the other 2 are.

oiling mint paulsons? you must be new around here.......

I can there is a case for both colours. Ultimately it's your $$$ pick the colour that you like the most. Dont worry too much about what everyone thinks as you will have to look at them when you play with them.

For my eyes the tiger is closer to the blaze orange and contrasts more in the set, however I find the peach a more pleasing tone. I'll leave it as tiger for now and finalise the design of the stamp before getting final thoughts

The Peach base T5000 is okay, but I think the spot colors will contrast better with Tiger.

First test print of the design for sizing reference. I'm unsure how accurate the stamps can be made, the star for Ginan has me slightly worried.

Peach looks better to me personally. This is cool. Following

Peach is a very nice colour

Reach out to some of the folks here with CPC hot-stamped chips. I think the stamp quality is higher than you think.

I don't doubt it, Ginan is the smallest star in the southern cross though. I'm just unsure if the die making process can manufacture something that small.

A question, should I add the T5 to the design? Personally I don't use T5's for tournaments but should I add one anyway?

The answer to adding more chips is always yes!

I like the logic!

So getting into the finalised design now, final thoughts and feedback appreciated. After this step I'll be focusing on getting the funds together to make this happen. If anyone would like these offered as a group buy please let me know.

My bad! it went back to default, here we go all fixed. And for sure you've earned a sample set!

T5s would make a great $5 bounty chip if you didn't want to use them for blinds.

This is true, a barrel for bounties could be cool to have.

Excited to see how these turn out! Have you placed the order? What is the lead time on something like this once your order is placed?

No order as yet, I'm tapped out at the moment after going all in on a Crowdfunding campaign plus christmas is coming up. I'll be a while building back up (the chips are going to happen just might be a while). I do plan on sending the design through to CPC sometime in the near future to see about changes that may need to happen with it.

 

[Prototypep3]

A sad but necessary update. I do still plan on bringing these to life (hopefully sooner than later) but life sometimes has curveballs. Due to some medical emergencies this year this project has unfortunately been put on the backburner for the time being. Sorry guys, I know many are excited to see these, myself included.

 

[Tars]

Did you ever have these made OP? Favorite chip of all time and would love even an approximation look-alike for home game!

 

[Prototypep3]

Well, decided to look back into this now I'm getting things sorted personally. Holy shit did prices go up. 700 chip set (asuming I went with T5's for bounties) would at minimum cost over $7200 australian. Before shipping. Ouch, yeah this is definitely back burning for a while more, sorry guys

 

[SwissChip]

So close…
What about Tinas for those who wan’t pay clay prizes?

Do you have home equity loans down under?

That’s what I do…I’m up to five of them.

How about getting Tina blanks and get them Kifered?

There have already been two different Tina cards mold versions produced of the AS hotstamps.

Can't hot-stamp ceramics.

Yeah, but not hotstamped.

Didn't know it wasn't possible. Too hot? Too much pressure?

 

[SwissChip]

Yup..they can be. And they are crispy. View attachment 1260225

Seems to be possible….?!
But only ‚no mold’ ceramics, if i read correctly.

Chipcos stamp fantastic actually. Haven't tried Tina's. But as long as the face is flat, we can generally get foil to stick. They don't stamp deep tho, just the face.

Ceramics defeats the purpose of this endeavour, the AS chips are more than just their colours. Not having them in clay, even as a homage set like these would, imho, be sacrilege. They WILL happen eventually, just building that kind of savings will take me a bit of time is all but it's now a personal goal of mine to see these brought to life. Perhaps the group buy option will help ease the funding burden some, at least in the sense of getting the initial stamps made as that is a huge chunk of the price.

Another set where I borrowed something from the AS is the Aegean Phare, namely the fonts on the label.
