Quote:To put it on correctly, LOTS of baby power is needed, and takes close to 15 minutes.
It weighs close to 40lbs outside the water, but is weightless in the water.
I had it painted "new penny" copper, with silver between the scales, which really helps them "pop".

Quote:This is the actual tail that was used in the Disney film, "The Thirteenth Year". It was worn by the mother, and is the tail you see throughout the entire beginning and throughout the rest of the film.
It was being sold through an eBay auction, by the original creator himself, Don Pennington.
Tail is in pretty good condition for being over 10 years old, and being used in a film. (Film props usually get beat up pretty badly) It does have some "wear-n-tear", but is actually being "fully" restored to its original film quality.
This is the only time this tail will ever be used. I plan on showcasing it to prevent any damage to it.
