A: Pleeeeeeeeease can I swap looks and age instead? lol :)

7. Q: What was the hardest part of making the wax figure look like the real Harry?
A: The hardest part of sculpting was getting his sparkle and dimples just right! ... how did I do? :)

8. Q: do the wax figures have all the tattoos?
A: The outfits the boys wear show wrists & hands etc - any tattoos that would be seen on the boys in these places are present!

9. Q: were u nervous to reveal the wax figures because it might not have end up looking the way you expected?

12. Q: Which boy seemed most impressed with ... themselves? XD That sounds so weird...
A: It's hard to single one out - they all said they looked wicked! :)

13. Q: When did you decide to make the 1D figures?
A: 1D have been top of our request list for the past year and we were lucky enough to work with the boys at the start of 2013!

14. Q: use one word to describe the wax figures
A: What do you think? That's what really matters! :)

15. Q: How heavy are the waxworks, do they weigh the same as a person?
  A: The figures' bodies are made from fiberglass and therefore relatively light :)

16. Q: What makes each sculpture unique?
  A: What makes each sculpture unique is hopefully the same thing that makes each boy unique - would you agree? :)

17. Q: was it difficult to get the measurements exact?
A: We use techniques used by Madame Tussauds herself over 250 years ago, which still prove accurate today! :)

18. Q: was it difficult to make the most beautiful smile in the world?
A: OMG - it was the hardest thing! Did I do it okay? :)

19. Q: Have you seen them live on stage?
A: We were fortunate enough to see them performing live - which really helped us to try and capture some of their spark! :)

20. Q: how long did it take to make them look so real and life like? They look amazing by the way!!
A: Thank you so much, that means a lot! Each figure took four months to make! :)

21. Q: what was it like working with Harry on his sculpture?
A: It was an honour.

22. Q: what sort of tools did you guys use? And how did you match their eye colors?
A: We used wooden tools on the clay, check the sculpting videos here:
          - At the sitting, we find as close a match we can from a box of glass samples. Then hand paint each pair of eyes individually

23. Q: How long per day did you spend on the waxwork?
A: I spent every hour I could - I didn't want to risk missing anything!

24. Q: how did 1D react when you told them you wanted to make figures of them ?
A: The boys were all very excited, and one word I think they all repeated was "honoured"! :)
