A dinosaur tail that moves like the real thing
As I work on this dinosaur tail, I'll post pictures. What you see here is 6 lengths of springy strap iron, duct-taped together, and with foam insulation around it. More foam will be added to fill out the shape. But it already swings around in a ponderous springing motion.

... :o you actually ahead with this...?? but that idea was only for a hypothetical prototype.... :o... *bear hugz* xD Regardless, it's amazing that you went through the effort of preparing this all!! I'm really excited about how this will turn out!! :D Please take photos of when it's done! :3
Since I made that picture, I've put the foam sheets on it (dinosaur-tail-shaped) and just now sewed the stretchy cloth cover which will be painted with an appropriate stripey design. If you look at my dragon'o'saur porn you'll note that I can't seem to make up my mind on what the stripes should look like. It's heavy--maybe 10 or 15 pounds--and the leverage is enough to where I'll have to add suspenders in addition to the belt just to hold it in the right position.
