Wahoo-- the inside is done! The cattle and the house and a windmill and a corral and cowboys.

Another view: the thing in the upper right corner is one of the peepholes. There are five peepholes in the pony, which I placed to give different views of the scene. Two on the top give panoramas, and three in the sides show close-up views of cows or the house.

Here's what the peepholes look like on the outside... imagine it without the dust. They're extra-large door peepholes that I got at the hardware store.

Here's a view through one of the peepholes. The lens fish-eyes the view, warping everything, and letting you see more of the landscape.
There are five peepholes in the pony: Two in the top give bird's-eye-views of the whole scene, and the three in the sides give closer views of the house, corral, windmill, and cattle.
