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

This is where your pieces should fit.

The upper dorsal piece is longer then the chair height because it is wrapped over the chair top towards the back.

You will trim the excess later.

And here is the final result we're looking for.

I used my flat knife to make indentations into the Super Sculpey making sure to start in the center and work my way outwards.

You want to try and have evenly spaced grooves. Pretty cool eh?

We must have a base for the chair, so start with a flat circle a little bit larger then a quarter.

Now heat the circle so that it will not distort when adding the other pieces.

Now roll another snake.

Stick one piece of the snake upwards in the center and then wrap another piece of the snake around the center post.

Use your fingers and smooth out the 2 snakes to create one Super Sculpey piece.

Take the left over snake, or roll another if you don't have enough, and wrap it around the bottom edge of the base.

Now blend and try to shape the snake into the shape in the picture.

These pieces I find are the hardest to make. Would work better in a machine shop and made of wood.

I am still not happy with this, I might fix it before molding the chair. Maybe just a little sanding would work out fine.

And our chair placed on the base. Just like in the movie don't you think? :)

Not bad for about 5 hours work - Hee hee.

Since I will be molding the chair I have not secured the base to the chair. I will do that when I cast the new positive from the mold.

Side by side, on the left the Hasbro Palpatine Throne from Jedi Duel Cinema Scene and on the right, my little creation.

Note the subtle differences George Lucas made in the design.

The Episode 2 throne doesn't have the curved overhang on the Jedi counterpart and it a bit more angular in the front.

Do you want to make your own Palpatine's Office Throne at home? These sections are also available to help with this creation.
