How they did it.... The effects sequence on Dragonfire where Kanes head melts away was handled by freelance modellers Stephen Mansfield and Susan Moore. Polaroid photos of Edward Peel who played Kane were taken and over a weekend a cast was sculpted. Six wax skins were then made from the plaster mould, with two fibreglass skulls to support them. The prop was completed at 4am on the recording day and the effect successfully achieved first time in ten minutes. Hot air guns aimed at the head melted the wax, and liquid was also pumped through the skull. The effect was speeded up 30 times in editing. A deflating doll in Kanes costume was used for the long shot of the bodys collapse. Source:DWM
