A commission I just finished up 10 minutes ago. I'm heading out of town for a few days, but I wanted to get a quick photo of it before I left.
Blue anodized aluminum with some scattered stainless steel scales. The commissioner requested that it be a couple inches shorter than my standard tail pattern, so it's right about at 30 inches long.
If you'd like one, feel free to check out my tail ordering guide and drop me a note!

Here's where I get the scales: http://theringlord.com/cart/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=84&cat=Scalemail+Supplies
I use the large scales, and usually the commissions I make for people use anodized aluminum because they can be colorful.
I use a chainmail pattern to link them together into a sheet of material, but if you're trying to make a fursuit head or something then you'll probably want to sew them down onto a backing material of some kind. I think most heads are made of foam, and I don't think I would trust them to stay very well if you just glued them or sewed them to the foam itself.
I've done a small amount of experimenting with sewing the scales onto a backing material, but I wasn't completely satisfied with the particular method I'd tried. Here's the photo of it, though, if it might help you: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/10455542/
Those are my initial thoughts, feel free to ask more if you have more questions.
