Wolf-Tail - Walkthroug 01

Design: Walkthroug:


The Project
My fiancé and I are working on the project of making a wolf fullsuit. It should be wearable for days, to go on a Live Action Role Play (LARP). But we want to do it with different Addons, like stilts and when its possible Anmiatronics inside.

This is the the part where I show how I made the tail in my little photo-walkthrough for my manwolf.


Materials
fake fur, hot glue, hose, metal screws with a hole at the and, string, wire, fleece


knitting the fur
At first I made a pattern out of paper and brought it on the fur. Be careful to watch the direction of the fur. I knittet them togehter, the left side out.
At first I made it 80cm long, but when it turned out to look to much like a fox I shortened it round about 15cm.

making the attachment
I took wire, swirled it and glued it into the hose. I knittet it to a piece of leather which was cuttet that you could put a belt throug it.
I made the littel screws in the hose and runned it in and bended it around the last one. It should help to bring it in form. I recognized the moving tails move more catlike, so I prefered an easier version without two moving strings.
With hot glue I glued one of the ring-screws in the end of the hose.

putting togehter and filling
I took the sack of fur and pulled it over the hose. Then I knitet the tip to the last screw. I filled it with fleece and knittet it to the leather.

colour
I´m going to give the tail some more gay colour. But it will be added when the rest of the suit is finished.
