The amount of detail you have sculpted into your fluke is staggering, Marinus!

Idk if I told y’all but the plaster mold of this fluke got humid and soft to the point where it would crumble where touched I might never use plaster again, and this fluke will be the first and last of its kind.

So yeah I hand paint silicone this is the result so far, still miles away. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180814/0ecdd7b2afdf959a40497a9d729f73d4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180814/3b1b93bcac0cc88806bd52c66ddbb810.jpg

Oh dear, I love this tail but the colour scheme in the fluke reminds me of the Valencian Region Flag... Hahahaha

Ps when I make a tail for a personal friend I ask If they want the StillWater Pod Symbol which is the Trident symbol usually at the fluke after heel area... My personal tail will have it aswell, is it just us or do other mers do this?
