Mowe Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I am stealing this topic idea from Robot-Japan's xiombarg . I thought that was pretty cool and it can apply to all the Macross series. Nominate your chess set with what ever theme you could think of: Macross + ?? Macross Bad Guy ?? Other Robot Series?? Toy Company Vs Toy Company, etc. My Macross Good Guy: King - SDF-1 (Movie) Queen - SDF-1 (TV) Knight - VF-1J Super (Max & Miria) Bishop - VF-1S GBP (Hiki & Roy) Rook - VB-6 Gerwalk Mode Pawn - Destroids My Macross Character Good Guy: King - Hiki Queen - Minmay / Misa swapable Knight - Max & Miria Bishop - Roy (drunk & non drunk) Rook - Capatin Global Pawn - Kakizaki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapetang Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 (edited) Cool! I had wanted to do this about 20 years ago and had picked up a lot of the Nichimo 1/200 kits to do it: K - SDF-1 (or Hikaru/Max) Q - VF-1 (strike) super battloid (or Misa/Minmei/Milia) B - VF-1 (super) battloid N - VF-1 (super) gerwalk R - VF-1 GBP armored p - VF-1 fighter White color scheme for the white side and Max/Milia/fodder colors for the dark. All standard Macross 1 units since none of the other series existed back then. I don't have a 1/200 strike nor enough VF-1 fighters for pawns but it was fun thinking it up and collecting the pieces. and the board would be quite large at 1/200 scale! Sadly, I haven't built it. With all the newer series now, I'm not sure what I'd do for units these days. Hmm... Edited April 1, 2007 by grapetang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowe Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) Hummm...you got me thinking...some memebers on this Forum actually has enough Yamato 1/48, 1/60, & 1/100 to make a real Yamato Macross Chess Set. Mabybe, you guys in the State can do that for the 2007 Macross Con... Cool!

coronadlux Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Did anyone actually get this done? I did some google searches and nothing came up. I might just give it a try with some 1/100 scale figures, Maybe 1/144 if they are too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
