I tried to make a sort of taper with the triangles getting smaller towards the end, I guess I could have made it a but more pronounced.

However, I was nervous about the thickness of the stitch adding up with every scale and shortening the tail piece to the point where it wouldn't fit anymore.

I had originally planned to do a continuous spine of red but switched to "scales" because they look more fluffy. It'll take a while because I gotta make sure no blue fur gets trapped in the stitches.

As you can see, the fur is now dampening the motion quite a bit. It's unfortunate for the tail tip bit it still moves for slower, high amplitude motion so it should look good when I'm walking.

I pinned them together, and the fabric feels a bit tight. I'll have to try to sew more towards the edge of the seam allowance to hopefully make it a little looser.

I found that trimming the fur along the seam allowances helps to hide the seams, might be overkill but I like to go the extra mile.

That was a pretty relaxing part after the foam carving, the only tricky part was to keep the tail straight. Just traced the different segments and colors and boom, pattern!

In my opinion, the motion is slightly smoother when I hold the second segment. Plus it'll make transport easier, and a shallower angle means the tip won't drag on the floor.

Got more foam, glued the last pieces and I carved all the segments so that the tail can still bend and swish around.

I forgot to post this part, I tried to fix the twisting issue by fusing two plates then carving a groove diagonally. As you can see, it made it much much worse so I patched the diagonal groove and kept the two plates fused.

I glued foam onto each plate, except the middle one cuz I ran out. You can see I fused these two middle plates together, and this actually helps with the twisting issue mentioned previously.

It's has some issues, the motion is pretty erratic but that should fix itself as I add foam and fur. However, the geometry of the tail makes it so the middle wants to twice, so I'll have to fix that.

But I just cut then glued segments of the tail in EVA foam, these keep the segments stiff while they flex at the joints.

Time to make a tail! I started by making a sketch on some paper, transfered it to fabric (cat for scale). I've made it so the tip will be just above the floor.

I am so, SO proud of his he turned out. Despite all the pain and frustration, it was the most fun I've had on a project.
Thank you all for your support and kind words through the progress posts 💙

I just need to do a few final touchups like making accessories, hairspraying the braids and adding stronger magnets in the hair tuft

It took a while since my pattern for these parts was really bad, so I had to add, cut, dart, improvise...but in the end it looks good and it fits, so that's good enough for me!

Progress will be slower because work, but I finished the braids and started working on adding the neck.
