Tail 2 - new molds!

Hello all!


I thought I might start a new thread for my second tail/prototype molds. ;)
Now back from traveling and am excited to get this one in full swing. I don't have a pic of the scale mold, but it's the standard circles style. But here is the design and some molds in progress.
The main color is gold - shimmery, glittery gold with black and purple. I didn't have the color pencils to really color the design right.
This is partly inspired by my childhood idea (gold) and a trigger fish (fins near the knees).

I LOVE the fluke design! I can already tell this is going to be a beautiful tail!

Thank you! :)

I'm excited to see it happen too. I'm thinking I may it a bit floppy at the end. I'm usually partial to stiff flukes. Still undecided on that.

Wow, I also love the fluke! And the dorsal design. :D

great job very original

I love that fluke. (But I'm also a big fan of floppy flukes.) Can't wait to see this come together. (:

That fluke is beautiful!

this is amazing stuff! :clap:

Your work really shows. Are you putting a monofin in it?

Thank you.

Definitely a monofin, but I haven't decided on the size of it. I am experimenting with making my own custom monofin out of lexan.

So pretty!!!:jawdrop:

PearlieMae has lots of experience with creating Lexan monofins, you might drop her a note for some shortcuts in time and cost.

So lovely! <3

I have read all (I think?) of her info about the monofins. I love the idea of making the fin exactly the shape needed for the design.

Looks beautiful :swoon:
Cant wait to see it finished xx

I love it!

DAT FLUKE. Your sculpture looks great, I love the veins. Really excited to see this, looks like the colors will be really cool.

First coat is on. Still some blending and a ton of detailing to do, but it's a good start. (These pics don't show the gold as brilliant and glittery as it really is. )

Have you snuck into it yet?

Before painting, yes. I'm my own model for now so it's convenient that I can check the fit. :)
