Wax Figure Mill Reveals Craft Of Imitation Humans
A New York wax figure shop explains how life size and bust portraits are made from living models. The process covers clay modeling plaster casting and hand finishing. Each figure costs 100 to 200 dollars with repairs about 6 to 7 dollars yearly. The article notes figures used for corset advertising and hints at modeled arms from the worker who later becomes a professional. The wax figures are kept in a room of other creations and periodically refreshed.
