Madame Tussauds' studio artists Les Punter and Jim Kempton work on clay head molds of presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama at Madame Tussauds in London, on October 16, 2008. The clay molds are a crucial step in the six-month-long figure-creation process. The full wax figures will be unveiled on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009. With the race still too close to call, Madame Tussauds' artists must continue work on both figures to be ready for the unveiling of the winner's sculpture.
