And for the pattern of the scales themselves, perhaps scatter some points on a grid, add a triangulate 2d, then a divide with "compute dual", then facet -> unique points and use the primitives on particles, or a pointlcoud.

of course if it's not necessary to have geo, you can always use the scales shop vop.
