If i did it again I would reinforce the suit with a strong fabric like denim to cover the entire interior surface of the foam- this would make the suit very tear proof. In the cold and midnight waters of the deeper ocean, a flickering light can often be seen glowing as gently as a firefly.

In addition to the velcro that held the fins in position when my hands were inside the suit, I installed auto retractable cables that ensured my fins would stick around. For the light I used a battery powered blue LED string passed through the hollow ski pole and stuffed inside the ball. The body section has been removed from its foam armature and is hanging from the head and tacked together using nails. The black poly-spandex jumpsuit zips up the front and is printed with an all-over pattern of fish scales.This time I used a hot knife to carve the foam (this was MUCH more pleasant than the sure form rasp- no white snow.

By this point I have also covered part of the lower jaw with grey poly foam to give textural continuity with the belly instead of with the head. I then bent two pieces of 1/2" electrical conduit piping into the shape of the interior profile of the head. Eventually the pores in the poly foam close and you can get a nice gloss surface- which was important for the fishy quality I wanted from the skin. I tried making a cardboard ribbing on the inside, but I sweat a lot and the paper started to get pretty damp and disgusting. This point is very crucial - you have to make sure that there are no serious weak spots on your paper mache-ing.Read more about the condition New with tags: A brand-new, unused, unworn and undamaged item in the original packaging (such as the original box or bag) and/or with the original tags attached.

Bending the hollow steel tube is easy with a pipe bender- without it, you may have to get a little creative with leverage.
