Unfortunately the etch and gold wash on this one is a little tired but there.

I just discovered that this one originally came with gold wash a few days ago (researched due to this comment), but my gut tells me that the gold wash probably would have clashed with the colours of the scales. I have a feeling that it just might have ended up being too much yellow/orange/brown/gold. Maybe «gaudy»'s the word I'm looking for. (But then again, I could be wrong and it would have been fantastic). Thanks!

Love how the scales came out
