Madame Tussauds has announced the commission of a wax figure of Theresa May that is to be placed outside the Downing Street set at the London attraction, joining political heavyweights such as Donald Trump and Angela Merkel. The finishing touches are made to a waxwork of Donald Trump at Madame Tussauds in London. “Since the controversial election result, the highly talented team at Madame Tussauds London have been working tirelessly to create a stunning likeness of the new PM,” the attraction said. The process of creating a wax figure typically takes around three to four months, with a team of sculptors spending about 170 hours moulding, before hair insertors and colourists add the finishing touches. Edward Fuller, general manager of Madame Tussauds London, added: “Following the recent general election, we look forward to hearing the consensus of thegreat British public as we reveal the first stages of Theresa May’s wax figure in creation.
