Making latex scales

 

I also had a one part mould for the scales of my character. I did the same as the two part mould. Painted in single layers of latex inside the mould and then letting them dry. When the final layer was dry, I was able to pull out the piece of latex ready to stick it on to the tail of my armature. As I continued to make more latex scales, I attached them to the tail with contact adhesive. I also painted on top of the latex scales for a bit more extra detail.
