Looking good. Just a suggestion:

Good suggestion. I'm not 100% sold on the green chip. I will give it a try.

Maybe this...

I like the light green spot but maybe try canary or dg yellow for a "brighter" spot?

And then switch light blue for the ligjt gray spot on the hundo.

Love that spot combo. And you would be removing white from another chip. Either of these options would improve the set imo.

Posting what I've been playing with so I can see it on one page and start eliminating some things...

1 removed
2

3 removed
4 removed

7

8 removed

 

[Psypher1000]

Like 1, 2, or 7, personally.

 

[WedgeRock]

$1 from 7
$5 from 8
$25 from 8
$100 from 1

 

[Perthmike]

I reckon Number 8 but switch the $100 white spot for grey and maybe the edgespots on the $5 and $25

Does Mandarin red and primary red work together?

 

[BGinGA]

Get samples.

Not much of a difference between those two. Don't think it would look particularly good having them both on the same chip.

What might work is primary red and retro red. Still not much difference, but a little more than with mandarin red.

Top to bottom: Red, Mandarin Red, Retro Red (oiled)

Three chips locked in (I think), and one to go. Just a few days left to decide.

With one last look at a white dollar just in case

 

[crussader]

I forgot to add a $20 chip...

 

[crussader]

Added a second side (thanks again to p5woody)...

 

[timinater]

These look nice! I like the simple and subtle progression on the spots.

 

[chubbyone]

Did you order samples yet?

 

[crussader]

No samples. Order was placed almost two months ago.

Couldn’t resist after reading the thread.

Very cool set! How long do they take to come in?

 

[crussader]

How long do they take to come in?

You never know. It just depends on the production schedule over at CPC.

 

[crussader]

What a coincidence. I just got home to find a shipping notice in my email. WooHoo!

So this is how it feels.

Sneak peek...

Bad picture from my cheap phone, but it's the best I can do from here at work.

I like the 1 and 5 the best. And woohoo - my $25 was used! Looking forward to getting a sample set of these!

PM your address and your sample set will be on the way. I really appreciate your input, especially your pic of what dark green looks like against black.

 

[crussader]

Well I wanted to create a pron thread, but my camera and my photography skills are seriously lacking. So for now I'll put my bad pics here until I can get better ones made.

 

[crussader]

 

[Perthmike]

Great looking set. Looking very thirsty though, can't wait to see to see them oiled.

 

[crussader]

Definitely thirsty. I wanted to get pics in their natural state first. They will look much better soon. If you look at the blue chips in the drawer picture you can see two of the chips chips I played with at work when they arrived.

 

[Rhodeman77]

Congrats!! They look great.

What's fun to do now is go back and look at your first mock up to see how much each chip has changed (and for the better)!!
