The Four Sages of Dwartii - dsp5500 - 01-16-2015
Little side project and something a bit different.
Im Thinking of Milling, Printing, Bronze Casting????? The 4 Sages as seen in Supreme Chancellor Palpatine offices.
I have access to a HUGE 5 axis CNC machine so could mill these life size for that Studio Scale Look!
Entrance to your driveway anyone?
Or maybe something more manageable in size.
These are the two that haven't been done before, the last two will be done when time permits.

RE: The Four Sages of Dwartii - dsp5500 - 01-19-2015
Yer there doesn't seem to be much love for the statues but I'm fascinated by them.
Taken from wookieepedia
"The Four Sages of Dwartii were controversial philosophers and lawgivers from the early days of the Galactic Republic. The Four Sages were Sistros, Faya, Yanjon, and Braata."
"Supreme Chancellor Palpatine had bronzium statues of the Four Sages in his office suite in the Republic Executive Building on Coruscant. The statue of Sistros, one of the two flanking the doorway to Palpatine's private antechamber, had a lining of neuranium underneath its bronzium surface. Hidden deep within this statue lay Palpatine's lightsaber, dormant for decades until finally used against four Jedi Masters on Empire Day."
"The figure of Sistros appears on the Speaker's staff, which is included in the Mas Amedda action figure. The figure in the staff is not clearly visible in the film, however.
The statues of Faya and Yanjon can be seen at the entrance to Palpatine's private office when he reveals himself to be a Sith Lord to Anakin. They are on each side of the entrance. Sistros and Braata occupy the main office area."
Here's a set shot with Faya and Yanjon

I'd like to explore more of the sculptures used in the movies. Some examples
Here's Richard Miller with a jedi statue he sculpted.

And its appearance in the film.
