I also prefer the black scales, but one of them cracked in half when I unpinned it.
Next? Learn to use it.

Congrats on your first ~ nice job & yes old bakelite is notoriously brittle. They won't be the only set to frustrate you

Honestly, I think the clear scales are a great way to learn. I got an 18 by 24 inch sheet for $15, so I can get almost as many tries as I need out of it. These are actually the second set I made, the first warped badly when I flame polished them (another first try) and I couldn't being them back.
I reply don't see what's so hard about the wedge. I had no issues with it at all. Although, I did manage to CA my finger to the scale once or twice.

Be careful. It's an addictive hobby. I'm on my 4th, coincidentally a Boker as well.
