Here's part 4! You should already have printed out the page with the spikes on it, that's why it's not listed here.
As always, if you have questions feel free to ask.

How did you do the eyes? Do you have a link? I am going to make a toothless plush soon, hopefully. Keep up with the amazing work. XD

Can you tell me how to put in the tail fin in the back? Every time I try, the tail is really hard to sew in because its stuffed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You just have to really squeeze it in there. I only had to do one side of the tail fin, not both so it'd be much harder to do both sides.

Thanks, I'm doing two fins instead of one being a prosthetic. At the rate I'm going, I might just have to hand sew it.

Can you explain to me what top stitching is? Sorry, I'm a n00b at sewing. Also, I've been sewing this all by hand, because I don't have a sewing machine. Can I still do topstitching?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Topstitching isn't about sticking two pieces together like other stitches, it's more decorative. And it can totally be done by hand. Just put your needle through both layers of the fin (after you've turned it right side out) and do a small backstitch following my guide lines. It just creates an indent along the stitches that makes for more visual appeal.

ok thanks! That doesn't sound too hard.

Thank you for this. I have been looking for a cute toothless plush everywhere. This makes me happy. Now I need to learn how to sew. lol.

I just realized that I can't find the pattern for the wing and how to put it on, do you have those?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They should be in part 6.

It's in my gallery.

I had another question.
Is there a part 5 because you do not say how to do the wings. Are you making it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
one question so far: are the pieces in proportion to each other, and what would the dimensions be for this exact model
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, the pieces are all in proportion to each other. If you resize the images resize them equally. The end plushie is 3 1/2 ft long.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I don't think I understand your question. What do you mean by "double lines"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, they're meant to be veins, but don't cut on those lines. Instead, just do topstitching. Only cut around the edge of the fins.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll try to explain some more, but I don't know how much clearer I can be. You mark on the wing where you want the vein to go with white chalk so it can wash off, and then fold it along that line and pin it. Then just put it through the sewing machine along the fold so when you unpin it and open it up one side of the wing will have a sort of "tube" on it and the other will be flat... Not sure if that makes more sense...

Pfft it's ok, as long as everything's clear to you now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just paste all the images into Word and resize them to fit the whole page. That will have them printed out to full scale. All the pieces are proportionate, just too small because Photobucket made them smaller.

>.> I really don't understand the prosthetic tail. what fabrics is it made from and how exactly does it sew together? could you show a close up of toothless' tail or something. I really need to see it on the actual thing i'm working on. Sorry for the confusion! DX
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just made my prosthetic tail from fleece cause it was cheapest and easiest, but others have made it from fake leather and it seems to work fine.
I'm actually away from my plushie until the 9th, but I could try to help you out until then without pics. The fin part sews together just like the other fin, and then you take the pattern piece called "prosthetic" and cut out two of those. Then sandwich the fake fin between the two pieces along the flat side and sew them together. It'll be kinda thick so take it slow. Then you should have a fake fin with two rectangle flaps on either side. Let me know if you can't figure out the rest from the tutorial, or if this didn't help at all.

i think i may make mine from leather in the future but for now i'm sticking w/ the soft fabric! ^^ (i may even make a saddle! X3)
um, i'm still confused a bit. is there suppose to be a long piece lining the tail? more then the piece you labeled as prosthetic? if you could post (it doesn't have to be here) a pic of his fin alone.
it's ok if i don't get it or you don't have a picture. i have an alternate way in my head. XD lol
