Billy
gave two sittings for this portrait figure, the first
only for photos and measurements. Fortunately he had
shaved his beard and moustache off by the second sitting,
so I was able to resolve the mouth area. I was often
working against the clock at Madame Tussauds and found
that I was able to increase the intensity of the expression
after I had removed the hair for the mould to be made.
There was no time to re-apply it for the photo. The sittings
were fantastic fun with such a hilarious raconteur.
