MikeC Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I wasn't sure if this qualifies as a non-LSP work, but my old chair finally gave up the ghost; so I ordered a new one. Quite a simple kit, and glue-free assembly with nothing but a screwdriver required. So that was 20 minutes or so of today's modelling time. Now on to the F-104. mozart, scvrobeson, Trak-Tor and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Did you measure it to make sure it's 1:1 scale? Maybe some aftermarket wheels and photo-etch mesh for the back as well. Jari RLWP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I know I'm 1:1 scale and it seems to fit me, so that's near enough for me. As for the aftermarket, I just wanted to see what I could do straight from the box.

Rick Griewski Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I have one of those chairs! It is great! Good lumbar and no pinch behind the knees. I did not take any build pictures either; sorry. MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I put my feet beneath the chair, my calf will lift up that lever, releasing the gas strut. The chair will then drop, trapping my legs It's dangerous work, modelling Richard MikeC and mozart 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
