This is cheap as chips, practically free in fact, two pieces of bamboo cane wrapped in plastic bags puffed up to be a bit contoured a bit like muscle, ping pong ball taped at elbow joint then all wrapped in another layer of bags. Final coat of tissue paper then slathered in a gooey mixture of cheapo varnish, white glue and acrylic paint plus special ingredient..ketchup! This dries nice and hard, weather resistant too.
