Tails in SA?

Got a fursuit to show off? Want advice on how to make one or where to get one? Feel the need to share pictures of your new wolf T-shirt? What about cute plushie or pair of fluffy ears? This is the place.

Moved to a different forum :) But in any event ...

Electrocat has buillt her own suit, IIRC, so you can try that, or get someone on here to commission one for you. Alternatively you will have to import one, there's some links on the fursuits forum.

Or you can go to someone that makes costumes/mascots perhaps? Anyone know a company that does that?

Hmm havent seen this link in the fursuit section though I havent actualy checked it in detail. http://www.wolftronix.com/animatronics.htm

They make animatronic tails, Yes thats right a tail that will actualy wag with a remote controle :). Damnit perhaps it would just be better to order one then to stugle and get the klixx toys.

Thanks guy! :-D
I think I'll try and make 1.
Some artifissual fur and the end of an old paint-brush should do the trick! :)

Can I have the details of that company that will cast stuff for you plz. Got a few uses for them in making a fursuit. Tail and stilts to name a few :) Hmm can they make stuff from autodesk inventor ? Perhaps ill commision you if you manage to make a working tail coz its to much slep for me to do it atm + I know nothing about PICs. Stilts on the other hand is comming along nicely on paper and pc just having problems with actualy getting the matterials needed to make a protorype to test strain, balance and feel.
