Wax figure production goes through three steps: sculpting the model, pouring the mold, and demoulding. The sculpture model can be made of clay. After the plaster is molded, pour the prepared wax figure material into the model pre-coated with oil, and open the model to make the wax figure.
For a wax figure of an adult head, it is necessary to pour the various parts of the human head, such as ears, nose, mouth, etc., into several plaster molds, and then connect these parts to form a complete and detachable hollow plaster mold.
