The shield... I had issues thinking how to go about this but my brother’s g/f is in Amptgard and she mentioned that they use sleds for the base form. Well we are coming out of sled season and i just so happened to by the last few that K-mart had. They were the only place in town with them.
The Sled
Cut out the forms
Had to fix the cresent section
Started glueing the cardstock paper in place
Finished
Now i know some people may want to know what the holes in the shield’s surface are. I plan to get 5mm plexi glass and cut and bend them to match those spaces. Then light the sides of the glass with LE Rope along with the eyes of the skull. Speaking of which the skull made me realize that the skull i used for the sword hilt is the Mandolorian mercs skull... at least i think it is specific to them... which i am not part of... opps, so i will mod the skull to fit my needs. Another idea given to me was to turn the skull and make a basket hilt out of it... still debating that one. Next step is to resin and fiber glass the shield… which I have started.
Any ideas, input suggestions and so on are welcome and encouraged. Even straight up praise is ok too.
