[pre]Sorry about yesterdays post—rife with errors. Is anyone else finding that the system on RAT will only allow you to type backwards?
At any rate, here’s my new idea (thanks to Giannis and Paul) on a shield rim. First, I lay down a single thickness edge—all the way round the rim, but not three dimensions, meaning it does NOT go over onto the back. Then, I make the bronze shape illustrated (roughly, apologies—I lack Giannis’ talent!) in Diagram One—then I tack that strip to the EDGE of the shield and bend the triangular flanges to both sides and tack them down, on the face, right through the bronze strip.
Thoughts?
