Mmm, now that's a proper Matango ass, or is cellulite not a fungus?

Now just get her damp, set her in the basement for a couple mnths, & WAH LAH! You now have a Matango Mommy. :P

;) Great job, Thunderhag!

She spent a lot of time scraping away the top layers of cardboard slabs, to get the ridged pieces. After that, she cut out the basic body shapes. Then she did papier-mache with cardboard shavings on top of hot glue dots and christmas ornaments to form the bumps.
