    I also had ideas for making a seamless tail, starting with a duct tape leg mold! Please keep us updated, I'm very interested to see how this turns out.

    here's my new, cleaner design that I'm looking to pursue. I've decided on the scales and now I'm just waiting to get on the silicone train. I don't want to reveal my ideas for the fluke yet. I think it'll be awesome.

    My monofin came in yesterday! I'm going to finish up the rest of the mold now that it's here! I hope I'll be able to buy the silicone before the months over
