The steps to making a new life-size wax figure of the winner's choice are:

1. Research: collection of photos and videos of the subject if available. Research includes size of person, body language, color of skin, hair, and eyes.

2. Sculpting: This is the most crucial step, which begins with a block of clay. The capture of facial expressions is very important, as the details must be exact in measurement and placement. Normally the neck and head are the only parts sculpted from clay.

3. Making a plaster mold: A mold is next made of plaster using the clay sculpting.

4. Completing the figure: Melted wax is then poured into the mold. After allowing time to set up, the wax bust is taken out of the mold and the completion details begin. Prosthesis glass eyes are inserted, 100 procent authentic human hair is plunged into the wax head one at a time, dental implant teeth are inserted, and the painting of the skin tones and special effects are begun. The absolute delicate process of planting the hair might take a month considering the precision which is involved.

5. The hands and arms are made by making a life-cast of a real person with similar features of the figure of the winner's choice. Then wax is poured same way as the head. The body is often begun using a fiberglass framework and adjusted to duplicate the person's body type.

6. Clothing will be completed by researching the authenticity of the clothing that the figure of the winner's choice wears or the winner wears himself, should the winner choose to have a wax figure made of himself.
