Peruvian sculptor Walter Huaman has created many life-size sculptures of famous movie characters from Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger to Star Wars’ Yoda and Darth Vader, which resemble those seen in Madame Tussauds’ museum.

The difference is, though, that he is using latex instead of wax.

“Madame Tussaud’s used wax to make her famous models during her time because silicone didn’t exist then. So she used what was available, the material which most resembled the human skin, that could look like human skin. That was wax, 250 years later we have an other material that allows us to better replicate humans,” explained Walter Huaman.

Latex is a flexible material which is ideal for creating flexible ‘skin’ surface casts.

As Euronews mentions, the sculptures have already attracted international art collectors from Saudi Arabia, Germany, England and Japan.

Each sculpture costs about 1200 euros and takes about four months to complete.
