    Looks great so far! Love the fluke! It's actually fairly similar to one I designed. I can't wait to see it finished!

    Thanks Rett 😊 i just wanted to keep it a bit easier for my first fluke (first go at mold making also) so i believe the design is pretty common hahaha.

    I hope it turns out awesome. Im very tempted to buy another bag of plaster but im also super keen to flip it over! 😂😂😂😂

    Okay, get a grip, get the hang of this flipper,
    It's like slipping two feet into one big huge slipper.
    I can't believe I can do this and more,
    To swim in the sea like I walk on the shore.
    Out of my shell not closed up like a clam,
    Look out sea, this is me, here I am....

    Your fluke mould looks good! I want to re make my scale sheet because it cracked and I want to make it out of a lighter material. If only Perth's weather would warm up! ❤️

    Especially because Im in western australia and have to ship silicone from the eastern states 😊 if I did make tails for others they would have to be local or the shipping prices would make them super expensive 😊

    Have you looked into a product called PinkySil? It's supposed to be the same as Dragonskin but it's manufactured in Australia.

    I'll see if I can find more info!

    My scale sheet bowed so im "trying" to flatten it haha. 2x christmas trees, toddlers bed end and weights hahaha!



    I drew the outside of my fluke. This is what i will fill with clay (buying new stuff because the old has plaster through it) then Ill use the template to press the ridges onto the clay.
