gems studio have built a long and continued working relationship with the Royal London Wax Museum in Canada that goes back a number of years. The museum like to refresh their scenes regularly and keep up to date with current world affairs. To this effect, we have produced a number of wax figures for them, including George W Bush, Prince William, and Mother Theresa.

The museum celebrates its 50th Anniversary this summer and have updated their ‘Undefended Border’ scene, which showcases many other presidential wax figures. President Obama will sit alongside George Bush Snr. Bill Clinton and former Canadian prime minister Jean Chretien.

Shown left, the wax head at colouring stage in the gems studio workshop. Photographs will be regularly relayed to both client and sculptor for critique throughout this process. Skin tone and hair colour are checked against a number of reference images to get shading just right.
