I want to build some racing seats. 1:12 scale

[Kaleb]

I have posted in the wanted section, I knew it was a long shot but hey you never know. So here is what I am looking for. A diagram or something to go off of for either recaro or corbeau style of seats. I know they have different models. Any help would be appreciated. My plans are to build the skeleton out of brass and fill in with some type of putty. Any one have suggestions?

Have you tried the manufacturers websites?

Thanks they help with the measurements, now I need something for the cushion.

(At least) one of the Fujimi 1/12 Nissan Skyline kit includes a racing bucket seat, but those kits are neither cheap nor easy to find as a junker/built up, so that may not be a reasonable option.

I have a set of seats from the Monogram 1/12 Ferrari Testarossa kit, but they aren't really a lightweight racing type seat, so probably no help there, either.

I'm just looking for a racing type seat doesn't matter the weight. Would you be interested in a trade?

I'll take a pic of them in the next few days, but I suspect the Ferrari seats are not what you're looking for.

This is about the best pic I could find of the 1/12 Skyline with the racing/lightweight bucket seat(s?), but it's probably close to what you have in mind?:

I looked for those skylines, and they are rare for sure.

You might check the seat department under Interior Shop here...

Holy smokes. Those things are 72 bucks.

Here's a better look at the Skyline seat from Greg's 240Z build, Joshua:

I like them, but finding at a reasonable price is difficult. I could probably build them out of brass but I'm not sure what to cover them in.
