To help audiences visualize the personalities in his monologues, Stuart created over 400 historically accurate, quarter life-size sculptures of personages with political influence from the 16th to the 19th century.

In his teens, he constructed a scale model of the French Palace of Versailles[1] and began to experiment with the human form after receiving an articulated marionette as a gift.

[4] He was represented by the Samuel Horton Brown Agency in Beverly Hills, joining the firm's other clients including Margaret Meade.

Each historical figure begins with a jointed iron wire skeleton in quarter scale that is designed to move like the treasured marionette from Stuart's childhood.

After he chooses an appropriate pose, the figure is then finished with a custom plastique that Stuart developed himself after years of experimentation to achieve the look of life-like skin.

[7] The groups include, American Revolutionary and Civil Wars (Samuel Adams to Abraham Lincoln), English Monarchies (Henry VII to Edward VII), Bourbon Dynasty (Henry IV to Charles X), Czarist Russia and the Soviet Union (Ivan IV to Joseph Stalin), Manchu Dynasty (Nurhaci to Mao Tse-tung), Renaissance & Reformation (various rulers and clergy), Conquest of the Americas (Columbus to John Fremont), Really Awful People (including Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Attila the Hun, Vlad the Impaler, Nero, Ivan the Terrible, and the Borgias), Warriors of the Ages, Germanic Myth & Legend (northern pantheon), and his earliest works.

[8] Stuart's quest for historical accuracy led him to import specially-scaled chain mail, embroidered silks,[9] and Icelandic sheepskin for life-like hair.
