Hey PCF,
I wanted to make another post, to share the progress I made with my first custom cash set. The original idea of the theme originates in this thread:
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/daniels-saloon-custom-cpc-cash-set-hhr-3916.117206/
However, due to several reasons I had to take a different route instead of going CPC. First off, time was a big factor. I wanted to get a new set to play rather sooner than later, this heavily contradicts getting CPC customs. I'm glad I took some advice, that you should really take your time when doing this. Eventually I'll get a custom CPC set, but I just didn't want to rush it.
Money was also a deciding factor. I just started working a few months ago and I'm still payong off some debts from my time as a student. So the price tag of custom clays was just too high for now. This aligns with taking time for the design though, and once I'm happy with the mock-up, I'll have saved enough to feel comfortable about spending that amount of money.
After considering my options, I decided to go with the new web mold. I knew I wanted to use the inlays that I designed for the CPC set, and I felt that the web mold was good to complement the theme. Plus, the numerous positive reviews of the look and feel of these was reassuring. Regarding the colors I had something in mind as soon as I decided on the web mold. I saw the CDI98 version of those mocked up in the web mold groub buy thread, and it's one of my grail sets besides Paulson Noirs and WTHC. I thought that this might be the closest I'll get to have this design on my table any time soon, plus I think the colors fit very nicely to the design, so I went semi-custom and tweaked the design ever so slightly with and had them mocked up with my inlay:
Special thanks to @tallsbutler and @SoupHQ for support in the design process.
I just received the first pictures of the chips in production and I'm blown away by how good these look. I think it's a combination of the web mold but also the accuracy of colors compared to the real CDI98s. I am super happy with these and I'll post some pictures once the set arrives.
I'll provide pr0n and a review on the web mold as soon as I have them in my hand.
