Starting the Scales

These scales might look like ceramic, but they aren't! I poured Pebeo onto a thin sheet of acetate. Once the resin-based paint cured I cut it up into little shards and began gluing them to the dragon!

Tiny Dragon Toes

The foot is floral wire toes coming off of the T-Nut tie-down. I built up the shape of each of the feet by dipping them in latex  The little toenails are individually sculpted from epoxy clay and attached with glue. 
That little white square is a piece of tape to keep the latex from clogging up the threads of the tie-down.
