Wow! I love how the tail moves in the water. It is so fluid and ethereal! You found fabric and a design that are amazing together. Good job!

Hope this works. It's the only clip I have from my 20 min swim in my tail. I'm hoping to have another swim and to get better video
*GASP* I remember seeing this design ages ago and wondered if it ever became a real tail! Who made it???Quote:

Still looks awesome! In fact I think I prefer the Mahina. (I love mine!)
I need to get my own. But I'm getting a silicone soon. Actually it should have been here by now
Looks great!
I have had my tail for two days, and I'm all ready giving it a work out! I'm so happy!
Gorgeous!
Wow! I really love the 2nd tail design! I think it's better than the original!Quote:

Neat idea going for Abe Sapien in those colors.
I love Abe!!! :'B
Great tail, Katey!!
Hydra and Lotus: thanks! I love Abe Sapien. I'm friends with Doug Jones, and wanted to channel one of my favorite characters of his. The burgundy/wine color scheme came from my Mertailor tail that was secondhand, but I fell in love with the color and found that it suited me

Here's mine :) This one's a self made neoprene tail but I'm saving up for a silicone tail that's a little more original
That looks great! Awesome job.
Gtfo! That's awesome!Quote:

Here's my tail!!!! [emoji5]
Stunning!!!
Took her for the first swim of the season!!! I have to figure something out to keep the sequins on better. My E6000 job did pretty darn well. But the glue the company uses to attach the metallic backing to the plastic... Not so much. So I'm thinking maybe a layer of latex? Idk. I'm looking up on it. ;)

You seem to be great at giving tailmaking advice... ;)) I found this just now, I thought it looks like a good deal and what I'm looking for... I think... help? Lol :Quote:

There are a few threads discussing latex in tail making.
Generally they concur that it isn't the best idea. Looks fantastic, but there are some health concerns.
After scrapping and restarting my silicone tail Wednesday the 15th and finishing Friday the 17th I went out in it today (Saturday 18th) at the Wizard World Sacramento convention. I won best in show! Sooooo thrilled with my first silicone project! Actually it's my first clay modeling project too. We had an incredible time and meet awesome people. Love my tail, and all the hard work that went into it. Hopefully I will get some underwater photos soon because this things is amazing, and I can hardly wait to make more. And yes that is a William Shatner backstage family photo!
Freaking amazing day!- http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...194781fa08.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...647d017057.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...da351aa1c1.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...da351aa1c1.jpg
