Attachment 27154Attachment 27155Attachment 27156 Played with some pigemnet on a test patch of scales, Ive ordered the right clolor now the puple will be more magenta and I will on tip some scales in a sort of stripe formation down the sides just like the wrasse has.
Airbrush came today yay! Can't wait to play with that, Urethane and more pigment on their way, all scales sculpted sooo many Attachment 27153

Your scales look amazing! I can already tell your tail is going to be stunning. :)

Nice Amy. Progressing well

Amazing. I love how the casting came out. Can't wait to see the fluke all put together. Cringing with excitement. I'm saving to make my own silicone tail. Haven't gotten a monofin yet though. Any suggestions?
