NiubNiub's Making Of Dioramas - Palpatine's Office Throne

This is a pretty advanced skill level, I had to redo this chair 2 times to get it right.

It's a good chalenge and you will be happy when you get yours done.

Start with a strip of Super Sculpey. Aprox 3cm wide X 9cm long

Fold it near the base, this is the skeleton of the chair and where Palpatine will sit.

I used the Jedi Duel Cinema Scene Palpatine to guide me through the measurements.

So I bent the rectangle along his butt and then used my dryer to harden the Super Sculpey.

Next is to make a similar shape as before, aproximately .5cm thick, 2cm wide and 9cm long.

Take your strip, place it at the chair back's base and wrap towards the front of the chair (the direction of the blue arrows)

It now kind of looks like a regular chair.

If only Palpatine would have used this like us common folk it would have been so much easier - LOL.

DO NOT HARDEN YET.

We must do some trimming first to get the same angles as in the pictures.

I must say I also had the Cinema Scene palpatine Throne next to me to compare angles.

First, cut the front armrests at 45' angle as seen with the blue arrow.

The little blue triangle is the piece that you cut off. Repeat the same for the other side.

Now turn the chair to its bottom and chop off 45' angle on each corner.

Follow the blue arrows as a guide, you also want to cut another 45' angle horizontaly from one end to the other.

Here is a better picture of the horizontal cut. Another 45' angle from left to right corner.

Now roll a snake of Super Sculpey (the U shape is just to fit in frame) aprox 1cm wide.
