6. Q: If you could swap style with one of the boys for a day, who's style would you have?
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@Harry_Styles 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?
A: It's the most nerve wracking experience - the whole point of making them is to please you guys, I reallllly hope you like them!
10. Q: Are people allowed to touch the One Direction wax figures?
A: Definitely! You can sit right next to, and even cuddle the boys! :)
11. Q: how much involved were the boys in this project?
A: We met them twice each during the sculpting process, and again for a sneak peek of their figures and finishing touches! :)
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: http://bit.ly/WXdiik
- 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"! :)
A: Each figure is cast from over 150kg of clay!
