Scarfe started by sketching Ringo at the drummer's London suburban home, raced back to his Thames-side studio to construct a likeness on a wire frame with papier-mâché made of old newspapers soaked in paste. He followed the same process for all four. The figures are life-sized head-and-torso, with paper-and-glue eyeballs inserted from the rear of the framework, hair made of scissor-fringed strips of the London Daily Mail, and a final facial of thin paste and watercolor.

The U.S.'s Kimberly-Clark and several other large paper companies have paid fees of $25,000 to inspect and run their own tests in Kroyer's pilot plant at Aarhus, may soon buy rights to use his manufacturing techniques. Inventor Kroyer sees no end to the possibilities, claims that the process can be used for continuous production of "almost anything from building blocks to bridal dresses." He has already run off several...
