Used materials: air drying or oil clay: a lot, several pounds, kilo's on how big you make it wood: a flat plate, and some planks for walls also depends on your size plaster meant for creating sculpts: about 10 KG silicone caulking, waterproof, ocean-safe: 30 bottles or more foam, flow through system, waterproof: about 1,3 by 2 meters. Lycra fabric: about 1,5X2 Meters times 2 (inside and outside) Zipper: a waterproof scuba zipper (or any real strong one will work as well) Lexan plastic: enough to create the fluke and extension, this depends on how big you make your fluke. or alternatively: and existing proper monofin that can handle some weight. Pigments: in h2o colors small tools: like brushes, jars, gloves etc. extras: (not neccessary but can be useful) a suspension system: I used my dad's pull up bar sewing machine saw thing for the lexan a proper working space links to my materials: I bought most my stuff local, so these won't be usefull to most of you, but maybe it helps you to search for materials in your own country. foam: pigments: Lycra: plaster: #/gewicht-5_kg Chapters: 0:00 showing the h2o tail / intro 0:29 step 1: creating the h2o fluke 3:38 step 2: making the monofin 4:43 step 3: creating the body of the tail 9:13 step 4: adding scales and the fluke 12:22 showing the finished tail 12:40 swimming in the tail!! if you make this item for personal use I totally allow it! Personally I don't want people to follow these tutorials and use that to start a company or sell it to others. I put a lot a research in the techniques that I show here, and also in the techniques that didn't work and isn't shown. I always test A LOT before I make these tutorials and that costs money. The point of these video's is that people can make a mermaid tail or necklace, etc. for a reasonable price If people follow these tutorials and use cheap and/or bad materials and sell if for way to much, people could get scammed (yes this actually happened) and that is not what I want. if you want to use techniques shown in the video for selling tails, tops, etc, please contact me, because usually I am fine with it as long as you just ask :) I DO NOT SELL TAILS OR TOPS STOP ASKING ME PLEASE I hope you have a great day ahead! (or night :) follow my insta for updates on current projects and behind the scenes shots. You can also send me questions :) again... dont forget to subscribe if you don't want to miss new videos like these!
