Thread: Take two, partial silicone tail

  1. #201
    Thanks! I'm so excited because the end is looking close now and cutting out scales has become a quicker and easier process

    My parents came home with this awesome desk for my tail to sleep on, I think it'll help my scales not bend and the silicone will probably be better off not laying on that cage...it's so exciting! I'm posting a progress picture of the scales

    Well shit I haven't posted in a while, actually I had just finished scaling this tail a few days ago and have had the chance to paint the front white. I used a spray paint from michaels and it works perfectly. I'm trying to look for some kind of a blue paint today when I stop by michaels maybe with glitter in it? And the back will be spray painted with black fading into the blue and the white. I also bought glitter to put over top of this paint, one is black and the other is white I'm posting the white overlay.

    Side note: this tail is quite heavy I wrapped it in a plastic bag and I was pulling it outside until one of my neighbors came up to me and asked me what's in there because it looked like a body apparently haha

    So I've had time to paint it today and put some glitter on top but I need to wait for th black glitter to be dry before I flip it and apply the rest of the holographic clear gel on top camera doesn't do it justice it's so sparkly! But it also smells like a chemistry lab in here

    So here are the final pictures of the tail I'm so happy it's finally finished ^.^ I hope to photograph it on me soon, and maybe do an underwater shoot too. I wish I could upload videos on here I took a badass video of all the glitter on it

    Ah alright I can see why that would be a struggle. I finished this tail during the beginning of my second semester in college so I put my money into it while I was in high school which worked out. I hope you find funds for it soon I'd be more than excited to see it done!

    Wow! I love how your tail turned out. Great color blending on the body.
