Step 3 - Scales

I wasn't going to do the scales until I had finished shaping the dragon and building up the muscles but I was wondering how I was going to do them and then got a little carried away. I used a short length of 2mm wire and bent it into shape this was used to cut the scales. I then started playing about with a few practice scales and then the tail just formed from there. I didn't stick the scales directly to the tail I actually put them together on a flat surface then wrapped them around the tail like a sheet.
