Not a lot of progress today: I did a few experiments for sculpting the scales. I sculpted a few individual scales, just to get a feeling of the technique.
Then I made some negative impressions of the scales to use as tools to sculpt scales more easily. I haven’t experimented the technique yet (the tips of my “tools” are not completely “dry”). I will post some photos of my experiments soon…
Here are the tools: Made by pressing a small ball of Magic Sculpt on a nail, and then pressing that on an already sculpted scale to get an impression…

I like how you’re experimenting with different techniques for sculpting scales.
Thank you for your comment. I had a lot of fun with this sculpt. Unfortunately, it is still sitting on a shelf, gathering dust, in a sad unfinished state… Maybe I’ll get back to it someday.
