    Mermaid Claire's silicone tail in progress.

    Hi everyone !

    Here some pictures of my fourth mermaid tail, in silicone this time (the others were in latex).
    I have created the mold for the scales and the fluke.
    tell me what you think about it

    No, it's my first experience with silicone and molding. I took two months to get to this result ! ^^

    WOAH this is really awesome. Especially since you've never made anything with silicone before.

    Thanks
    I used some instructions of kanti (thanks to her !) in her tread "full silicone's tail tutorial", I made foam scales board and I carved my fin.
    Name: photo.JPG Views: 1062 Size: 129.4 KB
    Next i cast my fin with liquid plastic (I actually said in the thread that I did not like that material). So, I tested another material to mold my scales: the polyurethane, here a picture of my mold :

    and then I just had to get my silicone's prints !

    Of course that's easier said than done but it gives you an idea

    Whoa, polyurethane for a mold?? I dont know that i've heard anyone using that for molds before. How do you think it would do as a fluke mold? Does it keep detail with multiple uses? Whats the process to make a mold with polyurethane? Where do you buy materials? i'd love to try a different mold making material, especially a lighter one that doesnt degrade after a few uses. Details, pretty please?
