Itching for more! Cant wait to see you get started casting your amazing designs! They look awesome in clay, I cant wait to see them in silicone :D
The extension piece will be made from lexan "polycarbonate" sheets I whent to Home Depot and tested the sheet I'm buying it flexes almost folding on itself without whitening or braking, plus the lexan would never flex in that manner in side of the tail therefore I find it highly unlikely to shatter or brake under the pressure.Quote:

Also for those of y'all who haven't found out yet I'm getting a Mazu Tail! I'm getting it because I'll need something to swim with this summe while I work on my tail which won't be finished until after summers over I'm sure of that that's why I gave up on having a deadline I realize I won't slack on this but it is a very ambitious process and berry time consuming that said I decided to get a tail from her one because her tails are amazing and affordable also she has been so great to work with and has understood my needs in the design I love what she came up with inspired by an African chiclid because it'll be mostly used for river swimming so I based it of a fresh water fish [emoji226]

Edit .. the fluke and fin style are going to be different i also got a custom fluke shape so it won't be like another tail she's made previously
Ahhh! Cant wait to see how the mould turns out! The detail you added looks amazing!
Love the design of the Mazu tail :)
That dorsal fin is wicked cool. I love the detail work on it.
Looking fantastic so far!

Update: finished molding the dorsal sculpts, taking a break for today tomorrow diving full on to fluke sculpt frenzy!
Edit: forgot to post the pic of the second plaster dorsal mold, so here it is...

I wont post pics cause its nothing that you guys haven't seen already but this gives me more time to meticulously check and fix any imperfections and smooth everything even more so hopefully by the end of the first week in may ill have finished my fluke...

Wow that's crazy, I'm so looking forward to seeing that finished fluke!!

I may endup doing the fluke without the plastic method but id be sacrificing some smoothness in the overall results
