One of my top 5 vehicles (non-playsets) is the tomahawk. I know its probably my personal favorite (not sure why). Well anyways I was bummed when my 25th anniv figs did not fit the back pegs of the crew chairs. 25th figs fit in the cockpit but I was stuck with retro joes in the back. So I experimented and came up with this: I bought a set of (5) spare crew chairs on ebay and used a hobby knife to remove the old backbegs. The 25th anniv figs are taller than the original joes and their back peg holes are higher on the figure, so I drill a pilot hole just below the top molded bar on the seat. I found allen wrenches at HOME DEPOT that fit the back hex shape of the joes, and use a saw or in my case a pair of bolt cutters to cut off tabs of allen wrench. Position a figure on the chair and feed the tab through the pilot hole into the figures back (use a few drops of super glue to secure the tab to the back of the chair where you want it, being careful not to use too much glue or to glue the fig to the chair). Once you have the tab where you want it carefully remove the figure, and secure the tab with just a few more dabs of superglue to the front of the chair. Wait a few minutes and then check out how you did. When my tomahawk is all filled up with 25th anniv figs its a sights to be seen, and you cannot tell that their is anything different about the chairs when in use. I just thought this was the cheapest and simple way to accomplish this effect, without destroying my tomahawk (just some spare crew chairs).

I was in the midst of cleaning an old Tomahawk when I read this. I was thinking the same thing of getting five extra chairs and cutting off the pegs. Didn't think about adding new ones though. You should post some pictures of it!

I am going to post some picks, I just moved and as much as I want to focus on displaying my joes again my gf wants me to focus on setting up what she says is important things (the kitchen, are bedroom, and living room) I told her the two most important rooms to me are my hobby room and the bathroom, she had no comment.

I told mine the mancave IS the most important room in the house, then she responded "if there was a can and a fridge in there I would'nt see you for months". I know how it is having to please the other half so I feel your pain. Oh btw post some pics when you get a chance, I wanna see how it looks. May have to track down some chairs myself to try this out.
