[SML] The Snow Queen - Russian Stack Doll

[Steven Hood]

I'd definitely do paper mache, but include a couple layers of mesh for 
structural support. The wonderflex is pretty nice, but quite pricey for 
that big a project. When gluing your paper up, make sure you have something 
like wheat paste to help paint stick.
