    Wow! That is amazing! I know working with this stuff is like painting with peanut butter...I am amazed you managed to make scale rows in the peel away method. I may try it too!

    I don't know that my method is normal lol. I'm spreading the silicone out thin and smooth on a flat surface and allowing it to fully cure. Then I'm cutting out single layers of my scales and stacking them how I want, attaching the rows together as I go. It's not as tedious as single scaling but it's still pretty bad lol I couldn't think of another way of doing it wit out breaking down and making a mold.

    Hi everyone sorry I haven't updated this thread in a while. I took a break to make a prototype tail for my etsy shop (that is now up and running) then I got sick and my sons science fair project has taken up my work space since. I plan on hitting it hard this week though so I should have more soon

    OMG, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the belly plates. Such an ingenious way to avoid seams in your scale rows too!
