If you don't know it, How It's Made is a TV show that explains, well, how things are made. The latest episode (after it finishes with some sort of heavy machinery that I skipped, and lemon tarts) goes into the Perry Brothers' lair, from sculpting to casting to production. (And check out Michael Perry's custom modeling prosthesis!)

Quite interesting, that, esp the bit about how the 3-ups are used.

Somehow I hadn't imagined the process of making injection molds for plastic was so hands-on.
