Do you know what this is. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS.
No, you probably don’t. Well, obviously its a picture of my waist adorned with a big belt buckle with a cross on it.
Long story short, this has been missing since before I made this account. (nearly two years.)
This was supposed to be part of my steampunk captain outfit, but I couldn’t find it.
Now. Where do you think I found it???
….
My sister’s closet.

So I made the mold for the scales. Just need to cure for a day then we’re makin’ scales :D
I’ll need to sculpt some noses for my costumes now since the original plast mold is just so crappy.
But mass effect 2 is distracting me….
Safe to say that the latex on the spandex works quite well. The elasticity is still the same, and the spandex sort of reinforces the latex and keeping it from tearing. And that was right after i put it on. Once its fully cured/dried it should be even stronger than that. As long as no one tries to deliberately rip of the scales, it should be fine.
if you’re a girl and you call everyone “bro” you need to stop because you sound unattractive and stupid
if you’re a person who thinks someone shouldn’t be allowed to use certain words because of their gender you need to stop because you sound unattractive and stupid

A message from mermaids-and-anchors
I read your idea on the mermaid tail, I think you should look up videos on how to make one:)
I have(probably should watch more, I found a 14part series on youtube someone made, i need to finish that). Thats how I got the idea of using spandex and latex(both being stretchy materials so putting them together shouldn’t be so bad.). All I need aside from that would be the mono-fin. I pretty much have everything I need, but I might need to go get a gallon of latex. I’m using ben nye brand. Its able to cast in molds. My only concern would be that it might stick to itself. I know theres powders and stuff that you can apply to it so it doesnt so that, but those will probably wash of.(I might just use baby powder for storing it) I’ll probably look into other brands as well to see it theres anything stronger. Cause I’d be sitting on it and bumping into things so it might tear…
My whole process of how i’m thinking of doing this is
Step 1
Make the mold for the scales. Set aside to cure over night.
Step 2
While that’s curing, make a spandex tail. Easy peasy. i might make it double layered.
Step 3
Mold is done curing, clean it out, mix the latex with some color. Best part here is that the latex can be done in parts so I could make a lighter shade for the tips of the scales then a darker shade for the base. Also, I might add a little metallic powder or paint to make it shimmer :D
Step 4
After the scales are cured, gluing them down on the spandex with more latex as the glue. Ben Nye drys fast enough for it to work nice enough. Puzzle piecing them down and what not.
I’m gonna do a small scale(punogod) test to see if this latex is reasonable.
So, yeah, thats what I got.
Should I try?
I just had an idea… Well, I’ve had this one idea for a while, but i just added in to it.
My sister and her friend are really into mermaids and they want realistic tails. I had an idea to cast sheets of latex scales and cover the spandex. Obvious I wouldnt go strait to doing that on their tails. I’d have to do a trial tail first.
This is where my more recent idea(from 5 minutes ago) comes in. I want to do merman eridan (or cronus or duelscar). Since whats her face did a cute meenahmaid at that one meet up (I have a picture of her in past post.)
So besides the tail, I’d need a binder, a grey spandex upper body peice for arms body and blah, a cape, the hipster glasses, and all the lovely rings. Maybe even use some of my shells for acssesory bits.
What what do you guys think?
