Cobra Commander's throne

ShockBlastWave · 03-31-2009, 06:52 AM

I've made a throne for the Commander to sit on and command his troops. The basic form was cut from foamcore and then covered with thick brown paper. Cut the Cobra symbol from the paper and glued it on the throne. Lastly added a wash of a darker brown paint and a gold paint (doesn't really show on the pictures, but in natural light it gives it a bit of a sparkly shine).
Put it in my Cobra background, which I have posted before, for the pics.

I really like that throne but I was wondering why you didn't just use one of those Cobra theme music boxes that came with the legions set. It looks to be about the same size. Maybe you could just have painted one to match the seat part you made. I just figured that it might have been easier that way. If you didn't have a spare one to use I understand the the fact that you might not have wanted to ruin the only one you had by painting it.

Great work with the foamcore though. It must have been time consuming to cut everything out and make it just right.

I don't even have one, so certainely not a second one to customize ;)
And I like creating diorama pieces with bits and pieces I can find around the house.

The throne looks cool but I really like the floor detail.
