This daring YouTuber snuck a 3-D printed figure of viral star Hasbulla into MADAME TUSSAUDS and was able to leave it on display for over 30 minutes before security intervened.

Liam Bedford, from Tonbridge, Kent, recorded the stunt for the 36,000 subscribers of his YouTube channel.

Liam, a Senior Multimedia and Video Creative who lives in London came up with the idea as part of a series he made called "Revere Heists".

He explained: “First I put a framed picture of TikTok sensation ‘Francis Bourgeois’ on the wall of the National Transport Museum in London.

“Next I put a signed framed picture of another Tik-Toker ‘Cal The Dragon’ onto the wall at the football museum in Manchester.

“I felt there was a big finale needed for the reverse heists, and eventually landed on trying to a fake ‘waxwork’ into world-famous Madame Tussauds.”

Liam, 25, settled on a wax figure of Hasbulla Magomedov, a 19-year-old content creator from Dagestan.

The star’s height meant Liam could made a life-size figure that was still easy to transport.

Hasbulla is believed to have a rare genetic condition called Growth Hormone deficiency (GHD).

Liam began by paying for a 3D model of Hasbulla’s head, which he then gave to a 3D printing expert who did the 16-hour-print of the life-size head.

He then enlisted the help of his talented artist friend Max Benham from London who painted the head and attached it to a 3ft headless mannequin body wearing children’s clothes from Primark.

The entire stunt cost Liam over £600, including the actual figure and the tickets.
