I am stealing this topic idea from Robot-Japan's xiombarg :D .

I thought that was pretty cool and it can apply to all the Macross series.

Nominate your chess set with what ever theme you could think of: Macross + ?? Macross Bad Guy ?? Other Robot Series?? Toy Company Vs Toy Company, etc.

My Macross Good Guy:

King - SDF-1 (Movie)

Queen - SDF-1 (TV)

Knight - VF-1J Super (Max & Miria)

Bishop - VF-1S GBP (Hiki & Roy)

Rook - VB-6 Gerwalk Mode

Pawn - Destroids

My Macross Character Good Guy:

King - Hiki

Queen - Minmay / Misa swapable

Knight - Max & Miria

Bishop - Roy (drunk & non drunk)

Rook - Capatin Global

Pawn - Kakizaki

Cool! I had wanted to do this about 20 years ago and had picked up a lot of the Nichimo 1/200 kits to do it:

K - SDF-1 (or Hikaru/Max)

Q - VF-1 (strike) super battloid (or Misa/Minmei/Milia)

B - VF-1 (super) battloid

N - VF-1 (super) gerwalk

R - VF-1 GBP armored

p - VF-1 fighter

White color scheme for the white side and Max/Milia/fodder colors for the dark. All standard Macross 1 units since none of the other series existed back then. I don't have a 1/200 strike nor enough VF-1 fighters for pawns but it was fun thinking it up and collecting the pieces. and the board would be quite large at 1/200 scale! Sadly, I haven't built it.

With all the newer series now, I'm not sure what I'd do for units these days. Hmm... <_<

Hummm...you got me thinking...some memebers on this Forum actually has enough Yamato 1/48, 1/60, & 1/100 to make a real Yamato Macross Chess Set. Mabybe, you guys in the State can do that for the 2007 Macross Con... ^_^

Did anyone actually get this done? I did some google searches and nothing came up. I might just give it a try with some 1/100 scale figures, Maybe 1/144 if they are too big.

Every other piece including pawns: Completely nude versions of every female character.
