Thanks John. Okay here is the list of parts: Sirens: Heads-Cover Girl, Baroness and Scarlett from the ROC line Torsos- TriGate creations Arms-Pink Star Wars Alien figure, from the Cantina scene. Lower section is from a Michael's Beluga Whale, cut and epoxied. The Siren horn is just an old shell. The Lyre is made from a Serpentor weapon, coffee stirrer and wire. The display piece is created from a Styrofoam dome (shaped), plaster of paris, plastic liquid resin (use out doors, I got high the first time using), spray sand, paint and real sand. The giant squid is a Michael's purchase. Shipwreck is used as the enchanted sailor being lured to the Sirens. This is one of my most expensive customs. The product used to make the water cost me over 60 dollars. |

Thank you Cap, coming from you this means a lot. I am always impressed with your diorama creations and inspired by what you do. I have to admit that I have studied some of your work to learn how to make my own dio pieces. |

I really like the effort that went into this. I do have a question, was there any reason why the tails are going back instead of facing front like normal mermaids? I thought it might be because of the paint on the tails, but that's a guess. |

The paint did not play a part in the position, because the tails were originally white. Another reason is that I figured Sirens should look different from mermaids. Call it, Artistic creativity. I hope that these inspire other customizers to make mermaid customs. Thank you all for the compliments. |
