Top updates have been posted! :D
Looks beautiful! Gorgeous colours! I'm so excited for you do you know the completion time? I'm just waiting for mine to be sent after Xmas!
Martha how much did yours cost? I'm in Southampton UK and I want a tail from Mernation but unsure about pricing.Quote:

I'm not sure. They just got a jump start before Christmas so the wait time isn't so bad. I bet yours is beautiful!Quote:

I would rather not say exactly but it was less then any other silicone tail maker. They are very lovely though and will answer any questions you have. Hope that helps
Thanks Martha, would you mind telling me how much the customs charge is when you get to that part? I need to know so I can work out exactly how much it will cost me.Quote:

SeaVixen, how long did it take for them to start working on your tail after you paid?
I got the $2500 one and have been talking to them since March lol. Started designing then and have been working with them quite a bit during that time. They are awesome people and have become dear friendsQuote:

The day they received it they were still working on the green freshwater tail they recently posted updates about. They wanted to get a jump start on it before Christmas. They are very fast on getting started that's for sure!Quote:

They have done very well about creating exactly what I asked for down to the texture, shape, and size! They did create another style of heel/ankle fins first but axed them when I sent them a different request because they thought the new idea I sent them would look better with my dorsal. Since this is their first time doing heel/ankle fins I had 3 different types/styles in mind just in case one or two didn't work out right and we went with the 2nd style I had in mind because they're prettier with my dorsal. Posted update on my Facebook page. I'm totally thrilled with everything thus far and have absolutely no complaints! They work very hard and clearly demonstrate that your happiness and satisfaction is their highest priority! They've made a few changes to my paint design on my pec fins and heel/ankle fins to enhance it and I love their ideas so much better than mine actually. So much more talented! They definitely work with you very closely to ensure it looks exactly the way you envision it. They are definitely bringing my dream to life. They are very fast about responding as well!
I didn't notice this before, but the tail design you posted has "words" on it in Arabic and Farsi. (it's the dots, if there were no dots it wouldn't have any words at all).
OMG, you're right. And here I was, thinking I had forgotten everything I had learned from Arabic. I guess that comes to smack me in the face later on. I'm posting the other design on this post, but I'm not sure if they are willing to do the proper lettering for it. They said they are willing to make a "tribal-like" design stencil, but it's going to cost extra. At least I am able to understand the second design....

Either way, I'm saving up for this, finned bracers, possibly a top? I dunno... I'm thinking of tweaking the fluke shape to something a little more badass...
