Forgive me if you already said it and I missed it, but what are these scales made of? I mean, besides careful thought, love and attention.

I'm using nickle for the scales. The top plate is 26ga. and the bottom plate is 22ga.
Just finishing up for the evening. Here's a shot with a bit o' color in it.

enjoy.

Anybody got any waterwings? I'm drooling so much that I think I'm about to fall into the pool

Those are looking fantastic, The colour just gives it the extra Wow Factor
