Green Neoprene Mermaid/Merman Tail : Industrial Sewing Machine
Another neoprene tail I have constructed. FAQ's: Where did you buy the tail? - I didn't buy it, I made it... How did you make it? - The only details I can/will give away are all listed below. Can you make me one? - Message me for information. I take very limited orders. What is the song? - Sunshine (Bimbo Jones Edit) - Gareth Gates Comments/Suggestions are highly appreciated! -New custom built monofin. -5 "extra" fins (1 tattered dorsal, 2 tattered heel fins, and 2 tattered pectoral fins, each with tex tured "veins") -"Textured" fluke This one has been made totally different than my orange "Splash" tail. I researched a new type of plastic/rubber to use in the bottom, giving me more power and a more "realistic flap" through the water. This tail took about 4 days to paint (combination of airbrush and spray paint). I used a total of 16 cans of spray paint. This tail took me about 3 weeks to construct, and is very time consuming, and expensive. Many people have left comments asking how I made it, and I apologize for not responding. It is very difficult to explain how to make a mermaid/merman tail, and its also hard to "give away your secret". I will let you know some materials I use are: Neoprene "Zip Fins" Approx. 2 18 oz. bottles of "Gorrilla Glue" Approx. 25 tubes "Krazy Glue" (Gets pretty expensive) Lots, and lots of industrial fishing line (usually 20lb+ test line) Fabric Dye Prisma-colors/Sharpies/Permanent Fabric Markers ...and a few more. If you want to build yourself ...
