Emperor Palpatine (II)

With the lion's share of the assembly work completed, this is actually more of an update than a new "step". In no particular order. . .
  • The backpad is now all-but done. There is still some finishing and tweaking to do, but close enough to deem it a fait accompli.
  •  The figure is likewise all but done. I still need to enhance the left shoulder, but otherwise it's all about finishing (more at finalizing the fit to the throne) and final clean-up.
  • The major work has revolved around the fitting of the pedestal to the throne. I can't complain much about what was provided, but it needs to be a more defined fit so that the figure rests properly in its seat. I might need to modify the feet a tad so that there is positive and uniform contact with the ground.  
Images coming soon. . .

FOLLOW-UP - 22.09.2012. . . 
  • Left shoulder and right forearm enhanced.
  • Throne partially filled with MS. This is to enhance structural stability as well as provided a broader base of adhesion for figure.
  • Figure fitted and shimmed to throne.
Once the putty is cured, final finishing can begin in earnest!

Almost there. . .
