Warren,
Yea, I think everyone's made one too... once. I know it looks strong... I went a little overboard on the armature steel. To answer your question, I'm going to attach underbelly scales, overlapping from tail to chin. Top-side, I'll texture 18G using a ball peen, then cut, shape and attach separate body part's skin. However, before I do any exterior clad welding, I think I need to trade in my flux-core arcwelder for a Miller 140 MIG w/argon tank. Right now I'm making a mess, and crappy looking welds. I think partly because my present welder only has "high" and "low" settings, and I can't fine-tune the heat.
