The shields are built more for combat than historical accuracy, so we have taken a few shortcuts. They are plywood covered in linen, with rawhide edgings, so they won't notch blades so much, and the paint is regualr oil paint for house walls and such.

Also, most of the helmets on display are bodged together from old army helmets, and as such quite far from historical. Pretty damned solid though!
