That means I also sewed the loose edges down. I will be painting this first, then later sewing on the resin coated sequins. The fluke cover and dorsal are going to be either shelf liner over green, blue, and iridescent polyamide, or pigmented silicone. I haven't yet decided.
    Very well done! I like it!

    Great work. I was planing to something similar. I have the neoprene and Mahina fluke. I was going to make a tail cover, use it a few times to make the pattern fit well.
    Not sure if im going to paint it orca, cover in silicone or sew on scales.

    I'm moving very slowly with mine. Plan on painting it first, then later sewing sequins on. I might do the fluke and fins in silicone, still undecided.
