Fatty Lumpkin progress

I've been making tracks on the crochet motifs for my Fatty Lumpkin horse. The final stuffed animal is assembled out of 17 pentagons, 15 hexagons, and a handful of heptagons, quardragons and trigons. The final product, crocheted and assembled by a pro, would look something like this:
Fatty Lumpkin, as crocheted by the designer.
 So far, my pony looks like this:
16 pentagons
 It took me a while to make the first pentagon because it wouldn't lay flat, I had to decrease some of the double crochets to half-double crochets, but I sorted it out. Now I can do about one motif per episode of Daredevil. Or Deep Space Nine, depending.
