Default Driver figure ?

Hello everybody.

Noob in the scale scene TF2 my first build. So I thought I can have a driver figure in the cab, installed the bench seat and tried to fit in a 7'' Sam Fisher action figure I had laying around.

This is a no go, as he's about 1/2'' taller. If I cut a hole on the seat he would actually be sitting on the esc and heat issues could arise or I could mutilate him and keep the upper torso and arms.

I've seen in a lot of your builds you've fabricated custom interiors and seats but my styrene skills are next to nothing.
Has anyone tried fitting a figure on rc4wd's bench seat?

i think people usually cut the figures at the waist or at the knees.

The driver for my TF2 “Gale Hawthorne from the Hunger Game”. This figure is 7 ½” tall. A lot of modifications had to be made to get him to sit in the seat.
As you can see from this pile of parts and pieces, he had to undergo some pretty major surgery so he would look right n the seat.

Thanks a lot guys.
So I guess, after crippling the driver, a scale wheelchair in the back of the truck could be a nice add-on
