    I just came across this thread. And Holy Wow Keiris! You did such an amazing job. From the colors to the fluke. (dat fluke tho)
    When you get a price list going please let me know. This is definitely one of the front runners for my first starter tail!! Btw....Don't ever cut that beautiful head of hair.

    Hi Sabrina. A full silicone tail usually weighs an average of 35 to 40 lbs. depending on the thickness of the scales, the fluke and all the decorative fins added. This is a lycra base with a thin layer of silicone over it, a much smaller monofin and thinner, smaller fins so as not to pull on the lycra. MUCH lighter and more streamline. They run between 1,200 and 1,500. Thanks for asking.

    Hi Ashton. There is a video I posted when the tail was complete in this thread that has some good close-ups of the color and sparkle. It was taken inside. The tail is brighter in the sunlight.

    Hi Roman!

    That price includes this fluke ( with choice of bottom edge shape)
    built in monofin (no straps)
    dorsal fin
    smaller pectoral fins
    two heel fins
    silicone/glitter topcoat
    Modest striping
    choice base color (5 available)
    silicone waist belt

    Remember, if you have read through the entire thread, the body of the tail is a pre-screened lycra. I am limited in how much I can alter color because of possible silicone rejection. The silicone coating is VERY thin in order to maintain a glossy finish and that will dull a little over time as does any "slime coat." Shipping is separate.

    Wow Keiris the tail is just stunning and the colors are a work of art, you have set the standard to a new level with the hybrid tail. I am impressed

    That is beautiful work! I like the idea of a hybrid tail. I have 2 full body fabric tails that I use with a Mahina fin. I wonder if the the same concept could work with a hybrid tail? They are basically swim gowns. (getting out of the water is comical, I kick off the fin and walk like Morticia Adams). I love how the colors reflect the light in Keris' tail.

    Thank you so much, Coralia! I always wanted to be a heart throb!

    Very nice of you JoSea! Thanks!

    I'd like to see that, Nyghtelf! Thank you for the compliments.

    I know I've gushed over your tail before, but it still makes me happy to see it! You did such a lovely job on it!

    I was curious though, how has it been holding up? Any fabric/silicone issues? Has it been an absolute dream? <3
