... and add some folds in it. This is the bottom of the Robe that will fit behind Mace's feet.

Gently wrap the rectangle behind Mace's Boots with the folds facing front.

In this picture you can also see how I started to detail the back of the robe. But more on that later.

Here is what the rectangle piece looks like from the front.

Now you understand why we put folds into the little rectangle :D

Now carefully blend the piece to the rest of the Robe.

If it doesn't reach the Thigh pieces, add a little extra material and blend in all the folds to make it look like it's one piece of material.

Let's get back to the back of the Robe and sculpt a Hood.

You might notice the shape is different then the picture on page 2.

I dragged the folds downwards to the edge of the Hood base. Now cut 2 little triangles from the pile of flattened Super Sculpey.

Curl the bigger triangle at the top of the Shoulders and place the smaller triangle just below it.

Looks like a pair of Pillsbury Turnovers doesn't it?

Yummm, Niub hungry :)

Now just blend all the pieces together.

I used the Saga Nikto as a Reference for the shape.

Looks pretty cool even if it will be hidden behind the chair.

Here is mace back in his chair. Looks a little bulky but will look more proportioned when painted.

Now use the Hair Dryer one last time to make sure all the Super Sculpey is hard enough to paint.

And the finished Sitting mace.

Now why can't hasbro make something like this? Looks cool and would save us a lot of trouble :)

And mace in his resting place of Palpatine's Office.

Well that's it... The Diorama is now complete. Time to take some pictures and put this Diorama to rest.

I can't believe it took me 6 months.
