Hey guys...so this is a bit of a rush job for a client and hopefully a fairly quick build that I'm fitting in between other stuff...u know how it goes

So I found a pretty decent 1/6 scale file on Thingiverse of the throne and with a bit of editing and remodelling I scaled it up x 6

Every printed piece is filled with PU foam and assembled, then given a fibreglass shell...here's where I'm at

It's a mighty big and heavy piece of furniture to be sure but it is for the supreme ruler of the galaxy
 
So flippin cool.
Been sayin for ever that I'm gonna build me this throne.
More pics please?
I actually was just watching ROTJ today and really noticed how rough the finish was on it.
Any demensions or schematics you have on it that you'd be willing to share?

Should be able to get all the measurements you want from multiplying the original model x 6 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1274287

So finally got all the Bondo finished... It seems there really is no such thing as a quick build in the Star Wars universe

Absolutely fantastic!

What did you use for the pedestal? Does it allow for rotation?

Thanks...I actually used a ribbed drain access riser. And yes the bottom of the chair has a hole cut into it which the riser plugs into and swivels

Amazing work as always!

How much does that sucker weigh???

Cheers dude...not sure of the actual weight but it takes 2 men to carry it
 
As promised, as I have a throne, I thought I'd have myself a go at Palpatine too. Casting a silicone head and hands for the miserable old git to fix onto a sitting mannequin

Here's the head

The chair is an incredible replica... you're not going to use it as a chair? I would love to sit in that.... looking at it thought, I bet it's not terribly comfortable. Great work.
