Awesome article... this little bit is just genius:

Stuart had come up with the idea of moulding the tail sculpt, taking a silicone rubber cast, turning it inside out and making a new mould core from the inside. This new core now had all the sculpted details on it. This was given a clay layer, to the right skin thickness, and an outer mould was made in two pieces. Then the foam latex tail skin was cast from the new mould, turned inside out and was free of any seam lines.

Such a simple solution and no doubt a major time saver... :thumbsup for Stuart on that one!
