1) buy a crapload of plasticene.
2) Cover a cow in plasticene.
3) Remove cow from pasticene.
4) Insert cement where cow once was (perhaps some iron rods too).
5) Leave to dry. Lifesize concrete cow now exists under a layer of plasticene. Now you may paint it.
I am sorely tempted to try to make one of those things, but i really doubt i could ever work out where to start.
