    I usually make a point of trying not to clutter up this forum with appreciative oohs and aahs (you can take them as read). I'll make an exception this time: I really love those scales: very well done, sir. Looks like a fish.

    Looks pretty good, nice shape and nice job on the whole thing. Did you find any areas of scale construction to be particularly tricky? (I think sometimes sharing these things can really help others who are starting to try to make scales).

    Very nicely done! If you would like to improve your peening I like Glen's (GSSIXGUN) recommendation of practicing on Popsicle sticks available at most hobby shops. Keep them coming!!

    This only being my 3rd, my biggest issue (besides peening) has been getting the spacer to an appropriate thickness and angle.
