Tail Makeover!

12 mm in centimeters is 1.2 cm. That sounded a bit too thick to mee too.

So the 9 mm is in cm? Otherwise I'll trow the numbers in a converter from inches to cm.

[MermanOliver]

9mm are 0.9cm. Just put the decimal point one to the left for mm to cm

I know, I live in a country that works with cm,
but 9mm in cm is less than 9mm in inches(I think).
So I wanted to make sure the mm were in cm.

[Mermaid Kelda]

A millimetre is a millimetre, as far as I'm aware. A thousandth of a metre can only ever be a thousandth of a metre, unless "mm" stands for something else in imperial.

I've run the number though google:

[Mermaid Kelda]

Makes sense to me? 9 millimetres is 0.9 centimetres, and therefore both equal 0.354331 inches

[Yulia]

Inches does not have millimeters, they use parts of an inch instead.

[CowgirlMermaid]

Ah, okay. Thank you!
Now I understand.

And here I was resizing photo's trying to explain what I meant...
Well, that's not necessary anymore.

It's silly because in the US we use inches and centimeters but never millimeters really and there's no name for a part of an inch *eyeroll* silly.

Sure there is! We refer to portions of an inch in fractions! Half, quarter, eighth, little bit, thin, and...uh...pardon me..."c-hair".

That's about 1/3rd of an inch.

[CowgirlMermaid]

I've never really been good at math, and I knew that thatwas 1/3rd of a inch, but with all the trying to figure out the right thickness and confusion about cm and inches on my side, my brain didn't really worked that good anymore...

[CowgirlMermaid]

Thank for explaining all of you!

So, been gone for a while, busy with school study and personal stuff.
But I have a liiiiitle progress. I drew the fluke shape on the plastic floorprotector.
And I'm still looking for cheap sheet of polycarbonate.
I'll post pictures of the plastic sheet later. (They're still on my phone)

[CowgirlMermaid]

Here are the pictures of the very little progress I made:
As you can see I can make three out of the sheet I have...


...but cutting it with siccors isn't a good idea.
I made a tear in in it. So I probably need to use a small saw again.

[CowgirlMermaid]

Change of plans with pictures.
I have a week off of school and since I coudn't find any new cheap polycarbonate decided to use my Waterway in my tail.
I can't use a sewing machine, my mom tried to teach me,
but the machine didn't like the lycra so in the end my mom managed to get one side done!

Here's the porgress:



Here's how it is supposed to fit my fin after both sides are seamed.


Hopefully this time it'll be done by the end of the week!

[Mermaid Kelda]

Looks good! Such a unique fluke design

[CowgirlMermaid]

Fluke cover is done!


I made a dorsal pattern, trying to match the fluke 'spikes'
I will probably use the longer one.


and I'm still busy with making my scales. already pinned a load of them to my tail and it looks awesome!

[JamesGunnels]

ziet er goed uit hoor!
