Thanks Mark, I was thinking of trying to cut some glass for his eyes, was going to use a green wine bottle if i can figure out how to cut it. good luck with uploading the photos, i suppose it's like most things, practise. Will

nice piece will

came out good

definitely needs some highlights now though

eyes would be good, you can buy glass eyes

as for blowtorching... I put a comment on soembodys question a few weeks back but for this i would look to highlight the scales

so scorch 'under' the scales. to do this scorch from the bottom, aiming upwards, get a good scorch along the op endge of a scale plus the overlap from teh one above it. do this all over. then you have to sand again, sand off the upper scale and leve just a 'shaddow'

thats all we do with the blowtorch really, give some deffinition

looking good mate
