On
Monday, March 9, Madame Tussauds Las Vegas premiered its wildest wax figure
yet: Miley Cyrus on a wrecking ball, suspended from a 130-foot-high, 90-ton
crane in front of The Venetian® Las Vegas. The attraction’s newest figure made
its world debut on the Doge’s Palace canal bridge, in front of the hotel
property.
Miley
Cyrus' figure was a unique creation for Madame Tussauds' studio team as this
project included not only her figure, but also the wrecking ball itself.
Together, the figure and the ball weigh more than 200 pounds. Along with a 30
foot long chain, the top of Miley's head to the bottom of the wrecking ball
will stand at more than 10 feet. The figure and the ball took more than six
months to create with a team of 20 dedicated artists. Based on more than 300
precise body measurements, the figure was first sculpted in clay by hand then
covered in a plaster cast. Once the clay was removed from the cast, the wax was
poured in and allowed to cool. Finally, the figure was fitted with acrylic eyes
and teeth; hairs on the head were inserted individually by hand and countless
layers of paints and tints were applied to build up skin tones – all to achieve
an astonishingly lifelike figure.
Miley's
figure will be permanently installed into the attraction's Music Room.
Madame
Tussauds London will be revealing its own unique wax likeness of Miley Cyrus
the week following the Las Vegas launch. For additional information, visit madametussauds.com/London or @MadameTussauds
