Commander McBride Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 (edited) Hey, last nigh, I was screwing aroun, and I discovered that with a bit of cutting, the pilot from my MechWarrion figure fits perfectly in the 1/60 yammie. He'll just need a little paint. The sculpt is qoute good, too, he looks relatively natural in the 'pit. I'll post some pics later. So, has anyone else tried to make a pilot for the older 1/60s?

MicronianDevil Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Hmmm...I want to see the pics. This sounds interesting. It would be great if my Hikaru, Max, Kakizaki, and CF had pilots. I think the pilot makes a difference in how cool the fighter mode looks. Please keep us up to date. Quote
Sebastian Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 The BEST are the Hasegawa piots if you want a real macross pilot. I will post some pics of one of my very old 1/60 custom right away. Quote
Graham Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Nice custom Sebastian. Somebody really should recast the Hasegawa pilot as it's too expensive to buy the Hasegawa Weapons Set just for two pilots, not to mention that the Weapons Set is getting difficult to find now. Graham Quote
Commander McBride Posted August 28, 2003 Author Posted August 28, 2003 Ooh, that looks great! My pilot will look pretty good with some mods, but I can't figure out how to reproduce it. It's made of a really soft rubber.... Quote
Rune Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 I'll gladly put up my Has pilots to any of the recasters for duplication.PM me anyone if interested.I'll cover the shipping costs. Quote
kidkorrupt Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 yeah, those are the BEST pilots made so far hands down. i use those suckers in 1/55 double cockpits and man do they look great. a recasting effort would be great especially when i have to shell out $10-$15 whenever i want 2 of them. i have so many spare missiles and such from the rest of the kit its not even funny =D Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 I really like the colors Sebastian......do you plan on adding some panel lines? Or maybe a couple of Hasegawa decals? B) Quote
CHAN Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Sweet!! the pilot looks great in the cockpit. Good job!!! Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 if anyone does decide to cast them i hope i can get a couple for my vf's Quote
orguss01 Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Id be down for 1/2 doz. or so if recasted , me likey the custm yams>>>> Quote
Aegis! Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 WOW , that´s a very nice and beautiful custom Thepilot looks very nice as well , wonder if iy could be painted in a Macross PLus-ish kinda fashion? Quote
Toonz Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 wow! nice pilot! i still have not touch my hasegawa pilot yet...... Quote
Sebastian Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Thanks guys! Those pics are old ones, when I took them the custom wasnt finished at all. Of course I added decals, some weathering and a lot more paint. also made a 1S custom Head for it. Un Spacy. Why you ask about panel lines? It does have them allready, and they even looks overdone (for my taste). I had to cut the seat of the Yammie to add the pilot, otherwise it wont fit at all. You can also cut the Piloto. Poor Piloto... Quote
