Auxillia Shield strips construction project
#1
OK I am cheating - I had some very thin strips on hand so I cut out the shield from 1/4 inch underlayment plywood and glued the strips on. Then glued on 6 oz cotton canvas and painted with Barn red latex paint. All very inexpensive
materials. Here is a photo:

Interesting idea...a good way to get the authentic look. Could probably do that with a regular scutum too.
