Thanks, I'm going to have to do one to really wrap my brain around it -- for some reason what I'm seeing and what I'm thinking aren't jiving. 
Thanks again for posting this tutorial. It's awesome!! 
When you melt chocolate that way doesn't it get all lumpy and the oil separate out?
what do u use to make the chocolate scales?
Just piped chocolate. Pipe it out and let them harden up before putting the cone together.
What tip did you use to pipe the choc? Thanks so much for this great tutorial!
I'm sorry, I wasn't getting response notices for this thread anymore.
@cakesrock, I just cut the tip off a disposable piping bag.
@diamonds and rust, it doesn't separate out as far as I've noticed. Sometimes when I overheat the candy melts they seize up, but I haven't had trouble with real chocolate. It's totally possible that reheating over and over it could make it separate, but if you're making a lot of pine leaves for each cone then you'll probably not have to heat the same batch too many times.
