I also had ideas for making a seamless tail, starting with a duct tape leg mold! Please keep us updated, I'm very interested to see how this turns out. :)

here's my new, cleaner design that I'm looking to pursue. I've decided on the scales and now I'm just waiting to get on the silicone train. I don't want to reveal my ideas for the fluke yet. I think it'll be awesome.

My monofin came in yesterday! I'm going to finish up the rest of the mold now that it's here! I hope I'll be able to buy the silicone before the months over
