This is now how the tail of the Vanquisher looks like after some work. It is just one part of it, the rest of the spine looks just as it was before (that is, like a mess). I just smoothed out the beforehand laid clay pieces for the bones, started to add all the details one by one with my tweezers and then blended them in a bit. Now it is also possible to see the tip of the tail, which is still just a few wire pieces smashed together and bla blurp yadda, i mean who cares actually?!
