              hi
              yes the sheild was a repro black plain sheild....
              i cut out the bottom of an aluminium drinks can turned it round and stuck to sheild for the metal front and same for the rivets but from aluminum candle bottoms for round side of sheild.. then a bit of a paintjob and some batter damage added for effect..

                  Great idea with the can for the top of the shield!

                  Also great job repainting the skelly!

                                  This is one i've been planning for a while. You did a fantastic job on the paint and shield. Did you file down his "fangs"? These guys would be good army builders.

                                  I've been wondering which head would be the best for Jason.
