• Join all four wire pieces from side fins together, wrap with plaster, and bend two ends in opposite directions to create fishing line support structure
• Attach dorsal fin to back along marked positions (rounds 1/2, 8/9, 15/16, 20/21, 26/27, 31/32) using wire frame technique with П-shaped pieces for each ray group
• Attach lower fin to belly between rounds 40-41, counting 5 rounds toward both muzzle and tail for proper positioning, then insert wire frame
• Join body and tail by taking wire ends from inside body out through same positions where tail wire emerges, secure connection
• Attach remaining 2 B tail rays with internal wire frames to complete tail structure
• Form eye sockets by stitching from upper to lower edge with nylon thread, bringing thread out in lower muzzle area hidden under jaw, then attach completed eyes with eyelids and pupils

Important Notes

• 💡Use shift stitches as indicated to keep the central back marker properly positioned throughout the pattern
• 💡Label all finger-rays using the appendix system provided to avoid confusion during assembly of complex fins
• 💡Wrap all wire ends with fabric plaster or insulation tape to prevent injuries and secure connections
• 💡Stuff finger-rays lightly but do not stuff the fin bases themselves to allow proper wire insertion
• 💡Test fit all wire frames with pins before permanently sewing pieces to ensure correct positioning and alignment
• 💡When joining rays together, draw up an extra loop as described in instructions to avoid holes between fingers
• 💡Keep the 50cm cotton yarn marker in place along the center back until all assembly is complete
