How It's Made

Season 18 Episode 5: Wax Figures, Awnings, Sandwich Crackers, Pewter Tankards

Detailed sculptures and moulds are used to create lifelike wax figures, which are completed with painted features and individually applied hair. Weather-resistant fabric is cut and mounted on folding frames to make awnings, crisp crackers are baked and paired around a measured layer of filling, and molten pewter is formed and polished into traditional tankards.
