I didn't use any specific tool other than my fingers and maybe a shaping knife to help form the design. <br /><br />Good luck with your project.rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693760545915842278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24927704.post-57407094666666133902016-10-17T16:20:01.787-05:002016-10-17T16:20:01.787-05:00Hi Ruby,

Would you please tell me what tool you used to make the raised markings in the center of the largest of the scalemail, and what you used for the raised borders of the scales? We'd be so appreciative. Thank you!Joninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24927704.post-51526473439465990372015-01-09T15:33:47.526-05:002015-01-09T15:33:47.526-05:00Hi Cristina, don't laugh but I used a V-neck t...Hi Cristina, don't laugh but I used a V-neck t-shirt as a pattern. Oneal, the wearer, said that an XL t-shirt will be just right for the armor vest because he will be wearing a blue long-sleeved undershirt under it. So I took an XL t-shirt's measurements and cut open the back side, where the toggles would be attached. Then I added the flaps that would cover the thigh area. Hope that helps. :) rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693760545915842278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24927704.post-10840043793641588472015-01-08T22:58:49.867-05:002015-01-08T22:58:49.867-05:00hi--i was wondering if you had a sewing pattern fo...hi--i was wondering if you had a sewing pattern for the tunic that you created to glue the scales to?

So, ye, I used quite a lot of them.<br /><br />But here's a tip: you can mix a different colored clay (maybe black or translucent that's available cheaper in larger blocks) for the back side (unseen) of the scale. A thin layer of silver on top would suffice. ;) rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693760545915842278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24927704.post-20970694035175251692014-11-29T22:58:57.018-05:002014-11-29T22:58:57.018-05:00I was wondering if you purchased the clay in mass ...I was wondering if you purchased the clay in mass amounts instead o the little 2 oz packages and if so, where did you find them?

Also, the Thorin costume is very intricate and requires a lot of time and effort. I wish I could help but the most I can do now is be here to answer questions about the tutorials I shared on my blog.
