Very nice work, and it looks good on you.

I'm making a scalemail bikini for an acquaintance so I am learning to appreciate what goes into making that kind of thing.

I want to start making some scalemail but frankly right now I don't have the time or materials.

Well there is Ro but I don't wish to be burnt to a crisp or travel to Canada

Time I cannot help you with. Materials? I have a friend that made one out of soda can tops. Not sure how she got them meshed together, but I could probably find out. Photos looked good, but I did not see it close up though. She finished it after the con we met in person at.

I don't have the patiance to remember to keep the tabs from the cans

You order them by the 100 or 1000 from The Ring Lord. Or at least, I did. What material scale are you looking for?

They have sterling silver, stainless clad aluminum, mild steel, titanium, nickel plated, yellow brass, bronze, aluminum in a variety of finishes and anodized aluminum in multiple colors...

A scale sampler will run you $3.75 plus shipping.

I would love to do silver but I know that is not cost effective... right now I am leaning towards a bronze, steel, copper feel.

Bronze small scales are $53.50 / 1000, which is 2.5 lbs of scales. Each Scale is 9/16 by 7/8 inches, and there are roughly 1000 / sq ft.

Bronze large scales are $145 / 1000, which is 8.5 lbs of scales. Each Scale is 7/8 by 1.41 inches, and there are roughly 300 / sq ft.

Sterling silver, only available in small rings, are $0.84 EACH - or $840.00 / 1000.

sooo tempting

LyingBastard Mon Sep 20, 2010 3:44 pm

The Anodized Aluminum scales are WAYYY cheaper. http://theringlord.com/cart/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=185&cat=Aluminum+and+Anodized+Aluminum+Scales+for+Scalemail&websess=82663559234137

Granted they're only sold by the 100, not 1000. Bronze-finish AA large scales are $5.00 per 100, and 300 per square foot. That's $50.00 per 1000 instead of $145.00.

Zod the everliving Mon Sep 20, 2010 3:50 pm

I'll show you tempting!

Working with AA scales is dead easy. And the AA ones are sooo light.

LyingBastard Mon Sep 20, 2010 7:24 pm

Yeah, that's why I'm going with those - specifically, the clear coated anodized aluminum ones - for V's Red Sonja outfit. The cups will have to be backed with fabric, but other than that, shouldn't be a problem.

You get a helluva lot of coverage if you use small split rings to join them together. I haven't seen them in action, but I know that Fergie of Black Eyed Peas wore something crafted from/by TRL.
