You wouldn't do that sort of thing in DB itself - far too complicated. Instead you would create them in a 3D modelling program and load them into DB to use.
Fortunately, I did exactly this a while back...

Unfortunately, the download link is broken and I'm at work at the moment. When I get home in around an hour and a half, I'll fix the download link so you can grab it.
There's a chess board and all the pieces - black and white, as well as a DBPro program to load and display them.
[Edit] Download link now fixed!
