I finally found a local source for design clay! Michaels crafts has it, and a couple of colors were on clearance for $2.50/lb. this is the same price I found online without having to pay shipping. I bought 2 lbs of it, and am playing around with it. I am hoping to use the clay to make a better mold for the tail. I have also played around with tail designs, and have decided to make a top and bottom piece that are symmetrical, and connect them using a flat curve. this is the way I did it last year, and is similar to how Craig made his nose. I will have to decide what to use for the side pieces. maybe a flat layup of Fiberglass, or aluminum sheeting (the thicker stuff, not roof flashing.)
