Hey, Nyorio, you could go halfsies on your tail. Pink in the middle, blue outside? XD or maybe straight up variegated pink to blue with LOTS of purple?

well I'm still going to keep the original colors on the tail like in my picture. I'm just referring to how she painted the scales and then highlighted them with sequins. i really like the look of it... :)
yeah i think I've decided to paint and sequin like she did. she has a couple of video's of her swimming in the pink one and i like how it shimmers in the water. :)))
wow this looks amazing :D A+
Wow yours is coming right along! I haven't had time to work on mine since I bought my materials. It's been pretty hectic for the past couple of months for me.
Sorry its been so long since I've been in here... How's the tail coming along?
Love the vinyl!! I would totally use that on a tail, but I'm betting that stuff isn't paintable and it'd look weird on a black tail.
How is the tail coming? Got any sequins on it yet?
Love it!!! Your Fringe is awesome! It took me months to find fringe and I still wasn't totally happy with it!
This is really looking great! What kind of a machine did you use with your grandmother? 3mm is pretty thick and can jam up a commercial machine, especially when you add the plastic!
Question~~What did you use for the belt and how did you sew it in? I'm adding a belt in my neoprene tail but I didn't know what to use XD
How did you sew that with your sewing machine? I tried sewing 2.5 mm thick neoprene and it would not take the thickness but yours looks perfect! well done.
I love your job *_*
How did you sew all the piece together so nicely ?
Is the belt uncomfortable?
What's your secrets ? :)
Any news today ? i'm planning to make this kind of tail.
So...jealous. o_o
I think the question on my mind (as well as everyone elses it seems)
What kind of belt is that?
How did you sew it in?
And is it uncomfortable?
I'm with Adella there on those exact questions.
But I'd also like to add:
Where did you order your neoprene from?
I'm price checking, is why I ask. Not sure if this was already answered, I'm a little tired, sorry!
How's this coming along?
Your tail looks amazing! Keep up the great work!
Oh gosh I haven't been on in forever! Sorry guys! Senior year is always hectic. I was able to start painting a couple month ago actually! It's looking fabulous:) I'm keeping the scales a little larger than you would normally see people having because 1, I like the look, 2, I looks nice in the water:) I did a test swim before I started painting and it fits and works amazingly. Nice and snug too. I have some videos of me and others swimming in the tail so I'll try and post those tomorrow. I will also post some pictures of what I have painted so far. I'm finding that as I paint, the fabric isn't as stretchy as the places without paint, which I think will be good. It still stretches but not as much as the places without paint. This means it'll take a while for it to strech to the point where it wont stretch back to normal.
About the belt:
I don't really feel much when I'm swimming and I can tell its helping to hold everything up quite nicely. Though I guess I could go without it next time if I were to just make the waist smaller and tighter. It also keeps the waist from stretching because it is sewn directly onto the fabric, so that's nice. I just used a thick seat belt like material and a belt buckle that I bought at the dollar store. Really cheap.
I will post more tomorrow, it's kinduv late:P
