The FishTails tail doesn't look like a very good job done by JMBfx. The H2O ones are a lot nicer, imo.

And not in paint job. Just...the length seems a lot wonkier (or perhaps the actress was taller, in which case, not their fault).

I remember one of the h2o girls saying that they had to have a lot of training to swim in them and other people helping them. It would be a dream come true to get one but with the pricing and training and maintenance probably needed for it- *brain explodes*

You could try making the extended tail by using long freediving flippers and glueing the fish tail monofin or blade to the ends of the flippers. That way you can have flexibility when you're swimming and the tail part won't look so rigid and have softer heel ridges. I dunno I have thought about it this way for a long time, cos I like the eel tails too!

[Mermaid Wesley]

I think they wouldn't be sturdy enough but maybe you could double up the flipper blades or something to make it stiffer?

[Mermaid Jaffa]

I'll leave it to an expert to try. Hopefully someone will figure it out and be able to share with us.

Not surprised that Hannah didn't think much of it :P They're made more for looks than for function. But again I'm fairly certian they won't sell tails unless it's to media production companies. I believe this is because, as I said more looks and less function, and they have to have safety divers and such because of limited mobility and other issues. Plus they have a lot of maintenance from what I remember from behind the scenes info. The way JMB makes them, they're just not meant for use outside of the production setting I'm afraid :/
