Scale is another challenge. Artists had to alter the scale of the gigantic tree that forms part of the Woodcutter's Cottage from Sleeping Beauty or else the entire sculpture would have been enormous. On the other extreme, minuscule details, like the tiny bar of soap on the Seven Dwarfs' washtub, were equally difficult to scale. The E.P.s are originally sculpted in clay, then cast in a mixture of resin and alabaster which is specially formulated to capture all the architectural details. Once cast, the E.P. are meticulously hand painted.
Every piece is like a three-dimensional oil painting.
Each E.P. carries an engraved serial number. Every sculpture comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Roy E. Disney for the Walt Disney Studios.
