anceos second silicon tail

[anceos]

new silicon tail with a new design, cause my first one is a little bit heavy outside water and i can't stand the flucke up

so here are some pictures of the new one and it works well apparently

30514

30515

30516

30517

30518

so now i need to glue the 2 body parts together and to the flucke... and then colored all with my first airbrush try...

30519

[Ilyena]

Awesome ^_^. After your last tail, seriously cannot wait to see this one finished!!

[Trident True]

Nice. I love your first tail. How did you manage the pocket that hides the pocket on the monofin?

[anceos]

Nice. I love your first tail. How did you manage the pocket that hides the pocket on the monofin?

sorry i don't understand the "pocket"

[AnnaAbyss]

Wow, I can't wait to see it finished! It's gorgeous. C:

[anceos]

Thanks a lot... ;)

[Keiris]

Thanks a lot... ;)

Anceos this looks fantastic! Is the scale sheet from your original mold? Did you have to drill holes through the monofin for the silicone to soak through and stick to the other side?

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Wow! I love the shape of the fluke!

[anceos]

Thanks... And yes i drill some little holes, how do you know that? Cause i had the idea just before ceiling all together... And yes i will use the same scales mold... ;)

[OceanWhisper]

Anceos- pocket= Poche
don't know if that helps at all :)

[OceanWhisper]

Et le fluke est magnifique!! Awesome :)

[anceos]

I think i understand... Well all will be covered with the scales like in my first silicon tail... Then the colors will be applied...

[anceos]

Merci beaucoup... ;)

[Keiris]

[QUOTE=anceos;197679]Thanks... And yes i drill some little holes, how do you know that? Cause i had the idea just before ceiling all together... And yes i will use the same scales mold... ;)[/QUOTE

Because I did the same thing with my monofin before I sealed it all together! lol We must be distant brothers!! ;) You'll have to let me know how the airbrushing goes. I am thinking about using one this time.

[anceos]

same idea... So we don't share only the hair (false in my case... Lol) ;). Sure i will let you know... First i will seal flucke and body parts... So i have some work before airbrushing... ;)

[Keiris]

same idea... So we don't share only the hair (false in my case... Lol) ;). Sure i will let you know... First i will seal flucke and body parts... So i have some work before airbrushing... ;)

You work really quickly! Can't wait to see the pics. And you look good with long or short hair! lol I am actually thinking about cutting mine all off short. What do you think?

[anceos]

Thanks...
I think you should leave them... It certainly took a long time to have them long... Or make some tests via photoshop to see.. ;)
Today i started to glue the front body part to the flucke... Hope to glue the back part to the flucke tomorow... Then in the next few days i will glue the body parts together... ;)

[SeaGlass Siren]

whoa!! c'est bon!

[anceos]

thanks... ;) and for the effort too

so here is some pictures of the gluing process

30589

30590

30591

[Keiris]

Anceos that's coming along really well! Are you going to overlap the side seams that run down your legs or just do a straight seam?

[anceos]

so no overlap... i will glue side scale to the other... here is a picture to show you, it's easier than an explanation... lol... so quasi no seam visible, but a long process... ;)

30629

[Keiris]

Amazing job Anceos! You can't see a seam at all and it isn't even painted! Very tedious work I know!!!

[anceos]

Thanks i try to be patient and do my best

[PaolaMF]

I am thinking of using the same monofin for my mermaid tails as how did you hit the fluke to the monofin? Thank you

[anceos]

well i drilled arround 10 holes in the monofin palm arround 1cm diameter...then sandwiched it between the 2 flucke parts with silicone, that way some silicone goes in the holes and glues the flucke parts and all maintain the monofin in place...
Hope i'm clear enough... ;)


other thing: i'm still gluing the sides... ;)

31057

[PaolaMF]

thank you very much, I read that with monofin finis foil, silicone does not completely healed, have had trouble curing silicone with this monofin ? thank you very much :)

good work !!

[anceos]

In my case, i had no problem... The silicon cured well... ;)

[PaolaMF]

thank you ANCEOS :)

[anceos]

You're wellcome... ;)

[anceos]

Only have to glue the back body to the flucke...then i will add a new silicon layer with phosphorescent paint to smooth all the scales...

31151

[OceanWhisper]

Looks great! Awesome work on the seams too! Tres bien!

[anceos]

thanks ;)

Begining the gluing of the center of the flucke... Then next weekend, i will glue the little sides... Then i wil start to paint the colors...

31171

[Keiris]

It's coming along really nicely!!!

[PaolaMF]

Great !!!

[anceos]

So the body is completely glued to the flucke...
I'm smoothing the edges of the flucke. Today i made the left one... Tomorow will be the right one... Then painting will begin...

31539

[Keiris]

Hey Anceos , I wondered where you have been! I know the whole process is extremely tedious but the tail shape looks awesome! Have you thought of a color palette yet?

You make me feel so lazy! I pulled two perfectly good silicone scale sheets last year and never got around to cutting and sealing them into tail form. Now they are probably too old to get new silicone to stick to it. Guess I could always make a scaled rubber tablecloth out of it for an undersea dinner party. :-/

[Dreamie]

This is looking gorgeous! Great job on the seams and the natural and very powerful looking fluke!

[anceos]

Thanks you very much...

So i was out of my home a while due to my work...
And i didn't post the updates on time...
I started to cast the fins too same as my first ones, but i will perhaps update them a little bit to match the new flucke...
Tomorow i will smooth the other side of the flucke, and will cast my dorsal fin too...

And Keiris, perhaps you should try to glue them cause it could work... ;)

[anceos]

Long time without news... so here we are...
front face paint is quasi finished... only have to add a last layer of phosphorescent (white which turns turquoise in the dark) on the central part... and some black on the edge of the flucke... then will have to make the back part...

32387

32388

32389

32390

[Celaeno]

Very beautiful!

[Merman Lir]

Looks so good!

[Prince Calypso]

This Looks Amazing! Great work

[Keiris]

It looks FANTASTIC, Anceos!!!

[anceos]

Thanks you very much... ;) so impatient to Finish it and make splash in the seas

[anceos]

so here are some pictures of the back...
i'm waiting for it to be completely dryed to make a test and see how it fit...
if needed i will make modifications and then will glue the dorsal and little fins...
i'm so impatient...

32855

by night...

32856

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Ooo! It reminds me so much of that green tail video I used to watch the hunky swim in...

[Keiris]

GORGEOUS COLOR!!!!! It's looking spectacular, Anceos!!

[Azurin Luna]

WOW! Love the colors :D
Can't wait to see the finished tail :D

[AnnaAbyss]

:swoon: Dear god I want it!

[anceos]

Sorry mermaid jaffa i don't see what you mean... ;)
Thanks a lot Keiris and azurin luna
And Anna abyss that could be possible to have one like this.. ;)

[Dancing Fish]

WOW those colors!! :swoon:

[Merman_Shawn]

Wow! Spectacular work! I'm very impressed!

[anceos]

Thanks... ;)

[anceos]

first try was good, so i glued the dorsal fin

33155
33156

33157

[Keiris]

Anceos, that fin looks fantastic! Was it hard to make it stand erect? (Fishbone) lol

[Azurin Luna]

Oh, lovely. I want to know too, cause I want something similar on my tail when I ever get the chance to make one :)

[anceos]

Not hard at all... It's due to the design and the thickness only... Nothing more...
But i'm glad you both enjoy...

[Madison MerFaerie]

Your tail is gorgeous! You're going to look great in it!

[OceanWhisper]

Fantastic job!! The phosphorescent paint, colours and dorsal look amazing! :D

[MermaidDalni]

Beautiful paint job!

[anceos]

Thanks a lot i'm taking my time to make it good... But i already know what to improve for the future ones... ;)

[Keiris]

Did you like airbrushing this one?

[Luna Dreamtide]

Beautiful work! Do you have any photos of how the phospherescent pigment glows?

[Saren]

This is amazing!!! You inspire me to make my own tail in the future!

[anceos]

thanks... ;)

So last blue and white paint layers have been done...
Only have to wait for them to dry then i will be abble to test this new tail in swimming pool...
I'm so impatient...

so yes i liked airbrushing it , it's far better than hand painting, but next time i will start the first layers before gluing the side of the body, when all parts are flat... ;)

for infos phosphorescent paint wasn't a success, it can only be seen in a dark room, even outside by night you can't see any glow as stars are brignter... so i will never use this kind of paint again...
perhaps fluroscent ones are more interesting if you can swim in aquarium... but phosphorescent never again... ;)

[Ashe]

Love the glitter! That and the turquoise is going to look so nice in the water :)

[Keiris]

Can't wait to see you swim in it!

[anceos]

think it will need arround 1week and half to be completely dryed due to the weither... it's a little bit cold here and have not enough place to get it inside... lol
so i have to wait... and that's really difficult... lol
i don't know if i will add the little fins yet... ;)

[anceos]

So here is the first test in a swimming pool i made yesterday... and the result is excellent...
the speed i can reach with this one is impressive, i thought my first one was fast... but this one is even more with less effort, i only have to move my ankles... no need for big ondulations...
so that why i play a lot, and didn't take my time to make slow moves... lol

[Ashe]

Looks amazing! You are so talented :)

[Madison MerFaerie]

Looks great!!!

[Keiris]

LOOK HOW SLEEK YOU ARE ANCEOS!!! FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And you beat me to the video :p The tail looks great!!!

[anceos]

Thank you very much...
And i will try to play less with speed and undulate more with all my body... Lol
So keiris, hurry up for the video... Lol

[Keiris]

Thank you very much...
And i will try to play less with speed and undulate more with all my body... Lol
So keiris, hurry up for the video... Lol

We love it when you undulate, Anceos!:lol: I did finally get out for a photo shoot in the tail Friday. I still need to transfer the pictures to the computer.

[anceos]

:lol:... so i will... :lol:

great for the shooting, i'm impatient to watch it

[PaolaMF]

hello Anceos, great paint job, so is the cabin of plastic? for the smell? or what is the reason? thank you

[Reef Fish]

Wow. Love it :)

[anceos]

hello,
long time i didn't post there... well due to this tail i had 5 orders for making some for other mermaids and mermen... so it's taking a lot of time... ;)

so to answer the plastic cabin was to protect plants from silicone painting and to protect all from rain, wind and dust... ;)

here are some pictures i took recently during a meeting with Arion and Lauriane when she first tried the tail i made for her before finishing the painting process to cover the seams ( pink and purple one)...
