《權力的游戲》粉絲打造鐵王座坐便器

There are a lot of "Game of Thrones" super-fans out there. They own dragon-egg cookie jars, plush direwolf puppies. The really fancy fans might even have $30,000 Iron Throne replicas. But only one fan owns an Iron Throne toilet. "Super-Fan Builds," a YouTube series that's created among other things a Groot swing, a BioShock aquarium and a "Lord of the Rings" litter box, took on the task of building the pointiest privy ever made.
《權力的游戲》有很多超級粉絲，他們有龍蛋餅干盒、冰原狼毛絨玩偶等等,甚至有粉絲擁有價值3萬美元的鐵王座復制品。但是現在能擁有鐵王座坐便器的只有一個粉絲，Super-Fan Bulids團隊專門為超級粉絲制造仿真道具，他們的作品包括銀河護衛隊里的樹人格魯特、生化奇兵的水族館、指環王中的小盒子等。

The lucky fan is John Giovanazzi, a bar owner who keeps "Game of Thrones" beer on tap at his establishment. Prop-making company Tim Baker Creations started by taking measurements of the bathroom space destined to hold the Iron Throne latrine. Next came the design phase. "People are drinking. You probably don't want a toilet that has lots of sharp spikyedges on it," says Baker.
這位幸運的超級粉絲名叫約翰，他在自己酒吧內供應《權力的游戲》啤酒。道具制作公司Tim Baker Creations在測量了衛生間的空間尺寸，然后開始設計這款鐵王座坐便器。該公司表示：“人們都在喝酒，估計沒人會想要坐在一個被尖刺包圍的馬桶上方便的。”

The Iron Throne toilet is made with a plywoodbase and back plate and fake swords. Sword hilts are cast using plastic. Some of the blades are fashioned from neoprene foam to allow them to bend around the shape of the chair. The throne looks very naked until the painting starts, when it begins to take on the color and look of the famous throne design from the TV series.
這款鐵王座坐便器由一個膠合板底座、擋板以及很多仿制劍構成。劍柄全是用塑料鑄成的。有些劍的劍刃上還涂上了橡膠以使它們彎曲而更像鐵王座的形狀。框架完全做好之后才開始上色，一上色立刻感覺與《權力的游戲》中的鐵王座非常相像。

The Iron Throne shell is installed over a functioning toilet in Giovanazzi's bar with a conveniently placed sword hilt acting as a toilet-paper holder. Even the toilet seat is painted to blend in with the metallic look of the majesticseat.
這款鐵王座坐便器被安裝在約翰酒吧里日常使用的衛生間內，坐便器的右手邊上的刀柄正好用來放廁紙。冷艷的金屬色讓這款坐便器看起來異常華麗。
