A prosthetic mermaid's tail
Lots of girls dream of being a mermaid. But for one woman, this wish has come true. Really! New Zealander Nadya Vessey, who lost both legs from above the knee at a young age, wrote to Weta Studios the Kiwi special-effects wizards behind the Lord Of The Rings films to ask if she could have the mermaid's tail made.
Two years later her dream has been realised. The stunning tail created by the studio is fully functional underwater and is even outfitted with realistic Mermaid like scales. on stuff.co.nz where you can also see a pic of Nadya in action.
