HI!
Your tail is amazing! If you find any tips or tricks on swimming in it, I am all ears!

Oh goodness you know of my tail! Welp i'm currently puzzling over what kind of fluke i want and whether i want to use a monofin (buying or making) and whether i want to be pretty and fish like, or do i want power and speed.
I'll be mulling it over further today, but i got the full body of the tail done last night! Fluke and fins are all thats left.

I did a little digging on the "show us your tail" thread. I love the pop tab idea!
I've spent a lot of time pondering the same thing. My current fluke is made out of sheet metal, so not so great for water use.
What are your plans for fins?
I've been rolling around with a few ideas, none of which I've gotten the chance to play with yet

Well since im using fabric to sew my tabs onto, i can use more fabric for backing for fins. As for the fluke, i have the option of not using a monofin and simply weaving a stiff material between tabs. However again, im conflicted. I think i want more speed and power than i want pure aesthetics.

Heres the finished base and the fabric i may use. Its light and flowy though. Either way i'll have to use it i guess.

Oh very cool
That looks so awesome! I love the little rainbow bits.
I do have one question though, how much soda did you have to drink for that thing?!

Well,i usually have one or two a month. What you see in the picture is a collective effort. I've dug through recycling bins (with owner consent), had friends on the hunt, and picked up every can i see on the streets. It's taken me over 5 years to get this many.

I think my favourite part about this is that it weighs roughly 5lbs currently.
