    You Will Never View Benedict Cumberbatch In The Same Way After Watching Madame Tussauds Make His Wax Figure

    The first step was measuring the man with lots of crazy tools. They took hundreds of photographs and made molds of his hands.

    Then, they color-matched his skin, hair, eyeballs, etc.

    Afterwards, an artist spent five weeks sculpting Cumberbatch's head.

    Whoa. Who is who?

    A mold was then made from the sculpted clay head, which doesn't look terrifying at all.

    Then it was time for "hair insertion," WHERE ONE HAIR WAS PLACED AT A TIME.

    Next "he" went to coloring, where a colorist used layers of oil paint to capture tiny skin details.

    All in all, the process took three months and the final product is UN-F*CKING-BELIEVABLE.
