) that I'll display with the throne until the HT one arrives. I've just removed the Hasbro robe to put him on a better body and the hood looks shorter because it's sewn into the head. Once it's freed, it can be pulled into position much better. It might be a little short in the hood's lower loops though. I have two Hasbro Emperors (one was for throne, one for standing with lightning) but may combine the robes if needed.

I have done a little repose by Darth Vader and Luke. Not quite satisfy but it will do for now.
Sorry for the crappy phone photos.
I just posted this in the custom section, but thought some people here that don't usually go to the custom section might be interested as well.

Here's my weekend project. I finally decided to resculpt and repaint my Emperor (thanks to eczamurai for the inspiration ). I've had him boxed up for quite a while now because he wasn't up to par with the rest of my collection. Since my Maul mod went over so well, I thought I should give Palpy a try as well before he rots away in his box. I'm quite happy with the way he came out.
As you see in the comparison shot (of course I forgot to take a before shot as always, so I included one from rebelscum.com), I first stripped the paint, then sculpted the new brows. I also closed the mouth a bit more, and added some more texture here and there. Then painted the whole thing, including the neck. I also painted the hands whiter, but didn't take a picture yet.
I ordered a new body for him that I will customize a bit until he has the right height and posture. The old Prometheus is floppy as hell, and I never liked the poseability anyway. So for now I only took some quick shots to get an idea what he will look like with the hood up. Ideally I would still prefer a different expression, maybe an evil grin with his teeth showing, but this will do for now.
I included the collage below (including eczamurai's custom) that I put together as reference for the brows and colour. As you can see, the colour varies quite a bit, depending on the scene and lighting, so I made it up a bit as I went along.
Enjoy.
Finally continued work on Palpatine. He's not completely done yet, but almost.
I used a knockoff narrow shoulder TT for the body. I shortened him by about 0.5 cm by shortening the lower legs, and dremeled the shoulders a bit more to slim them down.
I made a new grey undersuit as well. Bought some fabric that was the right colour and draped nicely. I didn't tailor anything, it's basically a complete hackjob under the robe, but since so little is visible, I didn't put all too much effort into it.
His left hand is still unmodified, I need to sculpt some wrinkles on it and repaint it. The two left hands he came with are too preposed for my taste, I wanted something more relaxed, so I used this one from my parts box.
Next step is modifying Vader's body to proportion him better and scale him better to Palps.
I saw that the sleeves are actually stitched pretty much like the sideshow robes in most scenes I looked at, so I left that for now as well.

Very nice mods, might have to change the bodies on mine now, I also reused the old hasbro outfit and the ex head and soare hands to make a second emperor and used epoxy to put wrinkles on a spare standard neck post.Finally continued work on Palpatine. He's not completely done yet, but almost.
