Heh, thank you Sam, that's nice coming from someone that I admire as a 3d 
artist. The head (and body) was modelled in Wings, and the texture for the 
scaly bits around the mouth etc., are the faces that were left after one 
smooth operation. The selected faces were then extruded normally and then 
scaled uniformally, and then the whole model was smoothed once more leaving 
the scaly look. It doesn't look too good close up, but at this sort of 
distance, you can get away with it.
