Is the fabric covered in a clear coat of silicone? how many coats did you use on your fins? and for your scales? and for your fluke? LOL Thank you ahead of time if you answer :)
Pearlie.. I have an odd question
I made my first tester mold with shell shock and it managed to get under my clay shells.. I was curious how did you manage to cast yours without your resin going under the scales? I feel insane and I've started pushing my clay molds into the shell shock after I pour it but it seems wrong.. Any suggestions?
Pearlie's tail is made of individual scales; she casts each scale individually from a mould, then applies the silicone scale to the tail. Doing it this way would mean she never came across the issue of resin getting under the scales in the scale sheet during the moulding process. (Correct me if this isn't what you are asking!)
No it isn't! But thank you! I'm working on casting individual scales as well but i still find it gets under the individual scale... I'm wondering if I should make the scale flush to the surface I'm working on and I use something else as a work top. I'm using duct tape and maybe it's too slippery? Thank you Melaina though I appreciate your help anyway :D

Looks like someone was inspired by your venture: http://ashtoncopter.tumblr.com/post/...nd-inspiration
So many people copying these days
That's Ashton's tail. She's been sharing it and Pearlie is very well aware.

Oh I didn't know it was Ashton's! Don't know how that went over my head, haha! Now I know her tumblr and can follow :)
:) yep, I recognised it so I thought I'd put it out there before any kind of misunderstanding startedQuote:

Yes, Pearlie is aware and she is even answering some of my questions. I am not copying her designs, just using her technique as a tool to aid in my construction.

OMG Pearlie you are so inspirational and amazing! Can you keep documenting all the other tails you make as you make them like you did this one? I just LOVE reading things like this and this thread is amazing!

I'm a little late on this, but wow Pearlie! Your tail is beautiful and you look so happy! Your tail reminds me of a butterfly. I just love it! :D
Thank you! Long time no see! My tail is always in a state of modification, but it's always getting better!
Wow this THREAD I have been hooked too! Just wondering what the answer to your question was concerning the duct tape being slippery? I had the same problem with some of my individual scales and used duct tape as well. Really enjoying all the information here! I casted a Scale sheet and Fluke and am close to the next, next. and next steps (:Quote:
