<p><b>The Brief:</b><br/>Volvo approached mannequin-man with the idea of using three mannequins, one sitting and two standing, dressed as roader workers, around a road laying machine at Hillhead, a three day exhibition for Heavy Plant and Construction, held in the middle of a working Quarry in Buxton, Derbyshire UK. One of these mannequins would be a real living mannequin, and of course, come alive as visitors passed by.</p><p><b>This is how I achieved the effect:</b><br/>Two matching realistic mannequins were sourced from mannakin.co.uk, one sitting and one standing. One extra mannequin stand was ordered, and three matching black wigs. One of the hands (quite gruesome) was sent to me by post, so that I could use it to match the mannequin colour by purchasing the closest matching make-up. Three matching sets of protective work wear were ordered, comprising of orange hi-vis overalls, boots, black work gloves, white hard hats and yellow hi-vis padded jackets if it was cold or wet. The real mannequins were dressed in the safety gear and then placed around the road laying machine, one sitting the cab as the driver, and the other operating the machine at the back; The mannequin standing at the back was placed on a metal stand, using the leg fixing so he could wear the boots, and to stop him falling over, he was secured to the machine by some black tie wraps around his wrist. One the first day, I had a closer look at the mannequin’s makeup, and matched the cheeks and lips with a darker reddish brown make-up, I then donned all the safety clothing, got a matching tie wrap for my wrist, and placed the matching metal stand at the second operator’s position, opposite the standing mannequin; then I took my position, and adopted the pose of the other mannequin and waited for some visitors.</p>

Promotional day at Arco shop in Watford. There was already a mannequin in a display, standing on a step ladder, with its head and arm in the roof, as if mending something; so mannequin man took the display mannequin's place.
