So it's time to paint.

I decided to use my latex acrylic paint so that the chairs match the Office colors.

Take your resin copy and wash off the wax with a bit of water.

First coat, Light Grey and also a good primer.

Once dry apply a second coat so it doesn't look sloppy.

Using pictures from the movie set as a guide, I applied Drak grey along the chair arm rests and back support.

Here is a view of the back so you can see where the Dark and Light Greys are located.

We aren't quite finished yet.

I decided to take the quick and lazy route instead of making my chair feet in Sculpey, I cut 2 strips of foamcore the length of the chair base and 1 cm tall.

Using my Hot Glue Gun, I attached the 2 strips to the bottom of the chair alighning them with the front and back pillows (The Light Grey ones)

Here you can better see how to properly place the chair legs.

I used the pillow crack (red dotted line) as my guide and tried to place the feet aligned with the Light Grey Cushions.

Now use the same Dark Grey paint to cover the feet and your chair is complete.

Not bad if I do say so myself :D

Maybe one day Hasbro will make furniture accesories like this for us, that would be just Awesome.

Are you reading this Hasbro ? :D

Now 4 copies were made and painted. About 1 hours work.

But how do they look in the Office you say?

Hee hee, Well I don't want to be mean so take a look at the next picture :P

Looking through the main window.

Palpatine's Chair and Desk are in place as well as the 4 Jedi Chairs.

In the distance we can see the Entrance Sofas I made last week.

I LOVE it :)

Here is a glimpse of what the Office Floor will look like with some figures thrwon in.

We can see that the chairs aren't perfectly smooth like if Hasbro made them but it adds a bit of charm to the project.
