Pay attention to the minimum thicknesses of the material you are using. Don't expect a design done to these exact looks will work, make sure there's a little extra. That was the hardest lesson for me to learn.

Most scales need FUD or FXD to have enough detail and to minimize graining. But these materials are expensive and very brittle, so don't make parts with pieces that can be knocked off easily.
