I have to add only certain music on youtube otherwise some European countries cannot watch them due to licensing problems. I cannot add SW music exactly because of that.

Thanks. Glad I got it, now just to receive the Elm plaque and have its final display ready - when the eFX Vader helmet arrives.

As for music is an excerpt of DJ Tiesto - Adagio For Strings. For example most classical music would be free on youtube, but then I would have seen a lot of cries from people not liking classical music LOL.

Thanks Jay! It is indeed. And even my girlfriend approves it, by accepting its fantastic quality and sculpt

Finally was able to take a picture of this thing that really does it justice:

I don't collect busts and even if I did they be impossible to get at this point but man Elm's busts are gorgeous.

 

[Brent72]

Yeah, it really is an amazing piece. Very proud to have 1 of the 10 made in my collection.

They are great indeed, being the contribution of Cyberman, Gino and Bjorn.

I could be 1 of the 10 lucky owners of this bust since I was one of the first who contacted him but decided to choose another painter for this amazing bust, and I'm glad I did.
I only order the cloak and clasp from Elm-Studios.

I bought my Palpatine bust straight from Philip (Cyberman) and it was painted for me by Daniel Martinez Muñoz (Elmen) from Spain.

Here's a w.i.p. picture of my Palpatine bust.. it's in the finishing stages...

 

[Brent72]

Looks good, but I'm not sure why you'd be glad you chose a different painter as Bjorn did an amazing job on my Emperor bust.

 

[Darth Milo]

Yes he did but let's just say it's personal preference

 

[Joshimus]

I got my Elm Emperor a couple of days ago I was lucky enough that he sold me the one he was going to keep for himself.

I like the square base but it only had a light black paint wash. So I took it off, painted the outer edge gloss black and fixed a gloss black piece of Perspex(Acrylic) to the top of it to give it that black mirror finish.

Pretty happy with the result.

Congrats on your bust Joshimus. Bjorn did a fantastic job on his Emperors.

 

[Brent72]

I like that square base. Now I'm kinda wishing my bust had that one instead of the round base.

Thanks Sergiu!

Brent, You can always swap it for a square base. Just get yourself a square bit of wood, router the edges and paint it...easy.

I had to take the bust off the base to do it. I just got someone to hold the base while i wiggled and rotated the bust upwards. The base has a post on it and the bust is held to it by expanding foam, so if you take your time it will come off.

Then just glue and expanding foam him back on. He actually feels alot more secure now than it did before.

The way the bas was quickly painted was letting the whole bust down and im really happy that I fixed it up

Love this bust!!!

Congrats to all that have this piece. I think it is perfect in every way shape and form. Oh and if I haven't said this already Jkno nice set up, looks awesome. So what is the price range elm studios charges for their busts? I may try to save up for one.

Thanks mate,

Unfortunately Elm Studios only made 10 of the Emperors
