PNY roulettes (1 Viewer)

[carlin]

hi all,

to make a long story short, i'm making a set of roulettes to match my favorite PNY set.

two different inlays (though i doubt i'll ever have two tables). FDL mold (this project just happened to coincide with the FDL mold repair push). i sorta figured that the FDL mold matched a roulette theme, plus the larger inlay size makes the images easier to see. the original plan was for 6 colors, but--like all my sets--it just grew to 8. i chose a transport theme.... hence the taxi and subway images.

j5 is fantastic to work with (as always i understand). and so is david at CPC. many thanks to both.

though the design is set, i would appreciate any comments (pro and con). thanks in advance.






i will post pictures when i get them.

happy holidays all!

Nice! Do you have a decent roulette wheel? I have pitched the idea to my friends and local guys but have had mixed reactions.

Very nice. Love the colors you've picked and the inlay I great.

no roulette wheel yet, but there is reasonable interest in the group that i play with. right now we play craps/poker/BJ. the first wheel won't be fancy though, too $$. a second one would be nicer. but the chips are an easy buy: unanimous. as i tell my wife: all the voices in my head are clamoring for more chips.

Nice - I think these are going to be great. You picked great images for each set

if possible I would love a sample set or even just one each using a random color....Possible?

Very cool chips GC, I'd also be interested in a sample set to add to my PNY collection if you're selling them.

Nice sets, does the 7 on the train mean something (lucky number 7...?), just curious as it does stand out.
Very cool though!

I'd have to get out the samples, and I can't quite tell the colors without getting them out, but the orange and yellow hued colors...do they have enough contrast?

it just happened to be the picture that i chose. i also thought 'lucky number 7', but that wasn't the reason i chose that picture. i wanted an older style subway car (since the PNYs were made in the 90s) and i liked the background of the city.

I'd have to get out the samples, and I can't quite tell the colors without getting them out, but the orange and yellow hued colors...do they have enough contrast?

the colors are: DG pink, DG arc yellow, canary, light green, blue, retro lavender, grey, and chocolate. i've been carrying around those samples for the last month or so and (IMHO) i think they will be ok. i wanted primary/secondary pastel colors for the chips (the grey and chocolate colors i added later in the design--thought they went well with the other colors). i spent a lot of time placing two colors together checking for contrast, but the real test will be after i get a wheel.

certainly! i've toyed w/ the idea of having a PCF/CT craps game/lesson, but wasn't sure if there would be much interest. i was sorry to have missed your last get together.

cheers,

Came back for another look. Some of the pics here MUST make the PCF calendar!! J5 did an amazing job with these. IMO one of his best.

Congrats on the set, they came out fantastic. I'm sure it was a pain but the difference in colors with a bit of oil is immense.
