Markus, absolut great piece of work. Congratulations!
I´ve read this thread thoroughfully and I´m now convinced to cut off all my scales for re-attachment in the right way. Horrible idea, but it has to be done - lack of own research is asking it´s price ...
Nonetheless one question regarding the shoulder section. In my opinion this is one of the most critical areas regarding safety. Means, "just" sewing a leather strip may be not enough for such an exposed part. The Dura findings shows also other scale sizes, so probably the bigger ones would have been attached in a 90° angle (from neck to arm)? Just a thought, unfortunately I don´t know any picture/statue showing that in detail ...
