Not if I beat you to it!
Don't know why I assumed that tutorial was from the Fectio site. So, I'm confused, where did *your* shield come from? You didn't construct it yourself?
Oh, please do, but that won't hinder me. Big Grin Maybe we'll do it together? I'd be happy to publish it on my website.

My dished shield was maybe by the guy whose website you've just been translating. I may my flat shields myself though:
http://www.fectio.org.uk/articles/makescutum.htm
I just finished 4 small flat shields for my son's birthday (with rubber bosses..).

My flat scutum measures 1.18 x 0.97m, I can't really measure my dished one across the front for you because the umbo is in the way...
