    Sculpting & Tailmaking with Phoenix!

    After shelving my silicone tail project for various reasons, I decided to resume! I'll be using this thread to post my progress and any silly little projects I might do in the future! On with things... My original fluke mould. It is based off the h20 style fluke (because I love that style) It was sitting outside for months so I decided to bring it inside to clean it and add more details. The tip of the mould broke off but that can be easily fixed.

    Currently cleaning the scale mould in preparation to be cast. It too was sitting outside for months and has warped a bit. This scale mould was a bit of a flop as it was going to be caster in fibreglass but I'm gonna make it work regardless!

    Something extra.. A fluke mould! I still had some monster clay lying around so I decided to practice my sculpting skills and sculpt another fluke mould. Each scale on the sculpture has been individually sculpted.

    I'll be buying some more plaster to cast the scale sheet and possibly the new fluke mould. I'll be also buying a finis foil monofin because that was the fin that was recommended the most to me. I'll be casting the scale sheet before I get the monofin, so I'm all ready to go!

    More pictures will come soon!

    Is it the one that I'm sculpting or the one that's already been moulded? Either way, I'm glad you like them

    Both! But specially the one that's you're sculping right now!
    I like the little scales and the "ripped" edge!

    I'm glad you like them! I lifted the scales up because I was adding some smaller ones I need to do the other side though

    Dad took me to Bunnings to get some more plaster because I asked him if we could go. He said he had to watch his cash but I think he might've felt bad so we got some Prepping the mould to be cast!

    Which stripe concept do you like? My tail will be inspired by the Australian herring.

    Are my threads invisible or something ? I'm fixing my mould tomorrow as the tip broke off and then it's time to estimate how much silicone I need.

    Monofin came in! It's the foil I've never used the foil before so I'm curious as to how it swims! I didn't expect the ridges to be so prominent but that can easily be worked around!.
