Does anyone have a source for squamata scales? Not sure if I'm up to cutting out a zillion by hand...

Working on a project right now to produce them from brass.

Ave, frater.

Check out the Marketplace Forum, in the Deepeeka section. Deepeeka sells them.

Also check out the "Lorica Squamata" thread started by Find-It Armory in the Marketplace general forum. Chris at Find-It Armory will also be offering them for sale, in both brass and steel, I believe.

ah brass...thats what I'm looking for. You know, since there are so many units involved it really boils down to scale price, so Paulus when you get your system up and running please let me know individual scale prices.


p.s. i have a strange feeling Jasper will be moving this thread to the marketplace any second...

Thanks Paulus and Calvus
