Looking for a starter tail

[Hnoffy]

I'm looking for a starter tail or someone I can make payments to. I want to make my own but I have no room for it. I want to stick to kinda cheap :/

Unfortunately you aren't going to find any tails that are "cheap."
What is your budget? There's some very low-priced fabric tails that are in the low $1-200's, and the highest-end tails can be up to or around $3,000.

I got my first tail from magictails.de they look great and they are not very expensive!

[Mermaid Nerinae]

Good idea, Samantha! :3
Hnoffy, if you have around $100 (not including int'l shipping costs), you can purchase a tail from magictail.de

I made a monofin from regular flippers for my first tail, and though I made my own fabric tail you can get cheap tails off eBay, is it that you don't have room to make it or to store it? I made my fabric tail in my lounge on a coffee table, it didn't take up much room at all. Otherwise you could ask someone on here to knock together a cheapie for you to learn in.

True, I made mine from a Finis Rapid monofin with PVC extensions and fabric. I live in a two bedroom apartment and made mine on my living room floor and on the table in my dining area. Fabric tails could be cheaper to make if that is the route you'd like to take.
Bella, I'm assuming the issue was with crafting space seeing as a tail would take up roughly the same space when stored regardless of whether it was handmade or tailmaker made. In any case, that's a good route to go. I've spent less than $120 on my tail.

To be honest, it's all really dependent on the route you want to take as far as having a tail.

Welcome Hnoffy,

Would you like to post an introduction to this thread: http://mernetwork.com/index/forumdisplay.php?7-Introduce-Yourself

I also see you are in San Diego. It seems like more people are joining this forum from here! What part of San Diego do you live?

[Hnoffy]

I live in carmel mountain like exit 21 off the 15. when i say cheap i mean less than 1200$. I dont have room to make a tail. i want to make one out of latex but my apartment is small and I have dogs.

[spottedcatfish]

I know of that area! Cool. Yes getting a tail would be a good idea especially if you do not have the room to make one.
