Hm. You could try it but Gorilla!tape is sortof it's own thing. You can order it on-line I'm sure too. But you might as well test it.

I've been really busy with exams, but now that they're over, I have more time to work on my first tail! I worked for an hour and a half and finished the scales on half of it and I think they look pretty cool![]()

Thankyou! It actually has *light* highlights on each scale, that's how I know how many there are lol. But it actually looks pretty highlighted in person, cameras don't show it haha

one side of the fluke is done! As I said, cameras just don't show the colors right - it's got dark/light blue, light purple and white

I added more white onto the fluke, as the spandex absorbs light colours really easily :P I also finished the little pectoral fins

Second side of the fluke is done! And the shading on the scales tooI still have to highlight the scales and fix some of them up, test my monofin extension (duct tape+zip ties) for waterproof-ness, iron the tail and fins (to heat set the paint) and sew on some flowy material... Whew!

Love the scales and colour choice!!!
The admins may not see the post, but if you 'report' said post and ask they will see it and could change it then.
Thankyou![]()

I had that thought too, but reporting is only supposed to be used for real issues? Maybe I could ask one of the new mods![]()
