trying to find scale bucket seats
 

Trying to find some scale highback bucket seats for my gelande II landcruiser project.
Scale is somewhere between 1/8 and 1/9.
Need to fit a 9" figure.
So, approx. size for seat is 2" wide, 2 1/2 " deep, and about 4-4 1/2 " tall.
Trying , but have not found any yet.
I don't have access to a 3d printer.
Trying to find some before I try the old fashion way, make them myself from scratch.
Thanks. Rob.

I can't really find anything either. But I do own a 3d printer. I have a few designs on hand that I can print and scale to fit your needs. I'll be more than happy to print and ship. Let me know if your interested.

You could also make them from sheet metal. If you don't want them bare metal you can pad them with craft foam.

Had anyone ever tried to make some out of hardening clay? Just a thought.

I think it would be doable but i think it would crack pretty easily and be hard to mount since you can't really screw into it.

maybe.
I am trying to stay away from the race car seat look.
I have bought a couple 1/10 scale seats and they are too small.
The seats in my full size landcruiser came out of a mid 90's acura.
Trying to match that look.
I will try to find a pic.

found pic, but cant seem to post it :(

Re: trying to find scale bucket seats
 

my next option is to take one of my 1/10 scale seats and hack it up and make it longer,wider,taller , then make a mold of it and cast a new one.

Try 3mm Komacel or Sintra. Check out post #51 of this thread. Toyota FJ45 longbed pickup

High density foam can be carved easily, and can be made into any shape and size you can imagine. It's cheap, and it comes with enough to make more if you mess one up. Once you paint it with the proper spray paint, they will look surprisingly realistic.

I have these from ebay, but they might be a little too small for your application, but offer an idea for design. These could be done easily with the foam method.

Have not used that product before. Have to get some. If I can cut it, shape it and sand it, I will give it a try.
