This looks really nice. Did you use split rings for the scales?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
TY =o) No..I used regular rings..I rarely pay that close attention to instructions...hhhmm..maybe thats why I have such problems with weaves turning out right...hahahaha

How does that feel against your skin? do the scales scratch at all? I know it's aluminum so it has to be pretty light, but is it comfortable?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It doesn't scratch at all...but then again..I've only tried it on for a few minutes at a time because I want to sell it...but yes..it is surprisingly comfortable...the edges of the scales are not sharp...I was playing with the idea of fixing the edge scales to make them stay put...but I kinda like the movement of it too...=o)

Nice work. I've never used TRLs scales. Do they stay flat when your hand is down, or sort of puff out like an angry bird? That would be kinda cool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
TY! =o) Yeah...they kinda puff out at the sides sometimes while the middle is stable...which is kinda neat...LOL But I am thinking about trying to put more rings in the back to see if I can stabilize the sides it a bit more...

Love the scales! How does it look when you have your hand down by your side?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
TY! =o) The sides do come out a bit...working on stabilizing it a bit more....but I do love the look...thinking about keeping this one for myself LOL

Intriguing Idea. How difficult was this to make? I myself have been thinking about going into amateur metalworking and this picture makes me all the more interested.

Hi there...this wasn't difficult at all...I bought the scales from the ringlord...and they have a tutorial on the site that helps you put the scales together...was pretty easy actually. thanks for the comment =o)
