Academics have discovered a novel way to beef up security at the Wimbledon College of Art - with the help of a waxwork double.
The lifelike re-creation of assistant facilities manager Paul Lurkins by final-year student Eun Jung Ha has scooped the college's first Madam Tussaud award, winning its creator a £1,000 prize.
The annual award, backed by the owners of the central London attraction, will be open to students who produce a figurative sculpture for their final degree exam.
The sculpture went on display at the Merton Hall Road college last week as part of its degree show exhibition.
