With a talented team of sculptors, photographers, colourists and digital techs, a sitting was held to record all the data and information. As you can see, it is a detailed process with a great deal of expertise to manage to capture it all in such a short window of time.
Vicky Beaton and Dave Burks can be seen here leading the sculpting team in ensuring all the measurements and calculations are correct to supply the sculptors at the studio everything they need to sculpt his figure out of clay.
With Bonnie leading the hair and colouring details to ensure that his skin colour, hair style and colour, eye colour and much much more, is all recorded in the correct light, with not only the information recorded but the feel and realistic representation of how the wax will reflect his ‘loo'k’
A very difficult and highly skilled talent.
John donated his outfit for the figure, where the wardrobe department worked closely with his family to ensure that the garment was culturally and visually correct when added to the static figure.
