Get Your Own Wax Museum Sculpture

During this time of year many of us start putting together a Xmas list of what to buy for everyone. There always seems to be a person on that list who already owns everything on the open market. Well, I have found a gift that is truly unique and unfortunately very expensive: Personal Madame Tussauds Wax Model. For a cool £150000, approx. $270000 US, you will follow the footsteps of other great people, such as JFK, Margaret Thatcher and Brad Pitt.

There is no clearer indication that you’ve “made it” than being ‘done’ by Madame Tussauds, but we can’t all be famous. Fortunately that’s no longer necessary, now you can commission their brilliant wax artists to immortalise you. You don’t have to be famous, or even revered, but you do need to be minted. Setting you back a cool £150,000 you will have an entourage (oops, we mean team) of twenty people lavishing you and your sculpture with attention for four whole months. You heard us correctly, four months. This is how long it takes to get the perfect detail, to reflect your exact measurements, to capture your expression and to match your hair and eye colour to achieve the ‘Version II’ of you.

The biggest disappointment is that your figure will not be on display at the museum, not even at the very back next to the broom closet. You will have to create a special place in your home to display yourself. May I suggest the living room or the bathroom as a towel holder or maybe as a passenger in your car, so you can ride in the high occupancy lane. The possibilities are endless.

Here is the list of features with purchase:
* A team of twenty to create a wax version of you!
* An initial consultation to discuss your ‘vision’ for the model.
* All sittings take place in the Madame Tussauds Studio in Acton, London.
* The sittings take place over a period of four months in which the team take your measurements, colour references and decide on pose and expression to get the optimum likeness.
* At the end of the process you will be presented with a life-size, lifelike wax replica of your good self.
* The team will transport your wax model and set it up in the private UK location of your choice.
* A photograph album and DVD of the process as souvenirs.
* Suitable for all ages but please bear in mind that the sitter should be comfortable with sittings of 4-5 hours at a time.
* Size: will be of the actual sitter.
