thanks alot for your comment. and actually they are leaning a little. i put the head off axis to look like they were looking down at you (the knights macho, superiourity thing). and yeah the cut off the top was my idea. when i was finished i thought they looked a litttle too similar to the bishops so i took that off and i think it looks great.. i would actually like different material sets like a ceramic set just so people have some choice in when they play. do you think you can send me some pictures of them. that would be great!
