Title: Making a Squirrel Tail?
Post by: Devi13 on July 27, 2016, 01:38:14 AM

Hi there! New member here, I'm not really a furry, but I am a cosplayer working on Marvel's Squirrel Girl and my boyfriend and I are stumped on the tail. After much searching on the internet and a... not super great looking half a first attempt I figured I'd hit up the experts!


I'm hoping to make an upright, flattish tail about 3' long that will work with a playboy style "bunnysuit", so a belt might be doable if I can hide it under the bodysuit or under my utility belt. I've fallen in love with Mordrude's Monsters/Fenrir's Designs skunk tail (picture attached), but my boyfriend and I can't tell how it's made just by looking at it, or agree on a construction technique. Can anyone speak from experience?

Heya! I've never made one myself, but maybe check out http://fursuit.livejournal.com/4298908.html (http://fursuit.livejournal.com/4298908.html) if you haven't already?
Also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msLtWzLRMC4, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msLtWzLRMC4,) I'm pretty sure she uses 12-guage wire for her tails, and I think she has more info in the description of the video.


Hope this helped!
