| The Making of a Wax Figure from
Sitting to Completion |
|
Making a wax
figure is a complex process. Ideally, one has a sitting
with the subject. Failing that, photographs must be sourced,
or, in the case of historic figures, images of paintings
and drawings are used for reference. |
Once the sculpting
in clay is complete, moulds then need
to be taken.

This is followed by the
insertion of hair, or a wig is made by an expert hair
stylist.
The eyes have got to be copied precisely and are
hand painted. The head and hands are then colored.
