Title: Designer Meeples
Post by: likie on April 11, 2007, 08:53:00 pm
Just wondered if anyone had ever had a go at painting their meeples different colours, or if you can buy just meeples on their own (perhaps plain wooden coloured ones) that you could paint.

As I have mentioned before, my daughter (who is 4) is keen to have a go at some stage and I think would find it even more attractive if she had a set of (perish the thought) pink or purple meeples.  Just an idea at this stage - I might paint the grey (I&C) ones as I don't like that colour much.

i was thinking that metal ones, maybe machined aluminium would look nice!

A set of brass meeples would be pretty kick-ass!

Glass or stone are given classy looking game pieces. Stone in particular.

Hmm, maybe I should construkt my own.. Jade, onyx, Lapis Lazulu (?) eh . .well, and like that (I'll translate them later ;) ) Now, that would rock! (Hehehe).

Meeples can be bought in color groups or a bunch of evenly-distributed all colors from meeplepeople.com  I did this for $20 for 100 to use for the game Seismic instead of the tiny cubes the game came with.  Hope that helps, you could buy them and paint them.

I sent an e-mail to the folks at MeeplePeople asking whether the big meeple, pig, builder, etc. would be available in the future. Got a very quick reply that they are hoping to have them available by Christmas.

yep, meeplepeople.com are the guys. I bought a Purple set off eBay and my daughter has a pair of Meeple earrings and matching necklace in red!!

Nice heads up there about the big, pig and builder... I'll add to my purple set.

You can even get Meeple pint glasses and cushions now!
