So after a looong while since I made a model of this guy I've finally gotten my hands on the real thing. 4m of sponge lizard with 8 chambers, including a separate wraparound mane chamber. Manufactured by Shunyu instead of Beile this time. I've decided to ditch the latter due to degrading build quality.

It wont be till spring when I can take some proper pics of this guy so this crap indoor photo needs to suffice for the time being.
