I'm working cold and thanks for the tip RE: First Umbo - Dan Howard - 05-17-2016 Looks good. Keep going. RE: First Umbo - Czear12 - 05-18-2016 The finished shield, I was going for a Constantine era shield and it turned out pretty well it's heavier than expected and not entirely historically accurate (I cheated using nails and bolts to secure it) though I'm proud of my work either way RE: First Umbo - Dan Howard - 05-18-2016 You can reduce weight by making it heavier in the centre and taper out so that the edges are thinner. |
