Lucy Dog CPCs on the Small Crown mold (1 Viewer)

[Leonard]

Some pics have been posted earlier, but the more PrOn, the better.

When the scrown mold became available, I wanted to get a new set of chips that I absolutely DID NOT need. I already have two sets of Lucky Dog chips with greyhound artwork on them:

When I ordered these new chips, I was particularly unhappy with the Paulson Lucky Dog hotstamps because many of the chips were warped. Since then, I have done lots of chip clamping and baking and reduced the issue by around 90%. Not perfect, but much improved.

I was looking for an old-school design, without fancy edge spots or especially bright colors, in keeping with the small crown ex-TRKing mold. @Toby did the design work and I'm very pleased.

Pre and post edge-oiling. When I first opened the red chips, I thought they were the wrong color. A tiny bit of mineral oil does wonders:

Gorgeous.

Love these. Great job Leonard!

Those are bang on the money as far as I’m concerned. You must be delighted with every aspect, mold/spots/colours/inlay.

10/10.

Really nice!

This set (and health) is all that's needed for a happy life, man! Congrats!
You don't need anything else; you could actually sell all of your other sets

Fantastic set, Leonard. You must be thrilled!

Re needs: You must have felt the need to create something beautiful and unique. Quite admirable, actually.

Nice work by everyone involved!

Those look awesome!

 

[AK Chip]

I really like the old school colour scheme with the SCROWN mold. It just seems to fit better. Great job!!

 

[Steamtrain]

Fantastic Set,!!!

All around great job.

 

[pedrofisk]

Fantastic

The quarter and five are my favorite.

They are all very nice though.

The more I look at it, the more I really like it. When you look at the inlay you feel happy. It’s a very uplifting set of chips.

 

[Leonard]

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I am very happy with the way they came out. Just the semi-retro look I was hoping for.

 

[Toby]

I really love your retro spots and progression, @Leonard!

The classy retro-style sets don't get enough love imo. The Signal and Rising Sun etc sets are great!

You nailed the old skool chips look! It's refreshing to see a few folk exercising restraint with CPC spot and palette use! Top job!

Love these chips. As @Changster said, there’s just something fun about them. Inlays are great, although what else can one expect from a @Toby design, amirite? I sure know who I’ll be contacting when it comes time for my own CPC set.

@Leonard : Do you still have a rescue Greyhound? I haven't seen a pic since 2015 (that I could find).

We are down to one. She is 13 with an average lifespan of under 12 years for greyhounds. Moving pretty slowly these days.

She looks content. Thanks for posting a new pic.

Edit: Had to unlike your post in order to it.

 

[Dr Lecterr]

They look fantastic! Love the pre and post oiling pics

 

[Mister BlahBlahBlah]

So cool that you included your dog in the design. Awesome chips!

Poor Millie's luck ran out. She abruptly declined this week and we had to have her put down. We are now dogless for the first time in 25 years and without a greyhound for the first time in 15. Not sure how long that will last, but just the two cats for now. I looked at some old pics of Millie (and Stella, also gone), and I'm amazed at how much of her black had gone to grey:

Sorry to hear, Leonard.

 

[Toby]

Sorry for your loss, Leonard

 

[gopherblue]

She was lucky to have you.

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Sorry Leonard, I know you gave her a great life

So sorry to hear this Leonard.
