Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Just an idea - maybe look voor a cheap action figure in the size you're looking for and use it as a '3D template'. Put some toothpicks/cocktail sticks/real twigs next to arms/legs/torso (after disassembling said action figure) and use these to make a wicker body part a you would make gabions (as posted by Snitchy).

This might help to get the proportions right.
