I added the eyelets on top of the sides to mount a sling so it can be carried hands free when not engaged

An angled sling would be better

Carrying it like that it will flop around and be a pain in the ass

I think you are right... that's the prototype. Was thinking one more attachment point for a 3 point style sling

I am right

I do a lot of nerdy larp shit wit hshields

Lol I will follow your advice then

This was my first

did you see if they sell curved iron brackets? mine is a round shield. if not no biggie, i may actually just stretch some copper sheeting taut over it and rivet it down.

Not at home depot

copper it is

why metal

Something to cover the ugly plywood

sandpaper and paint

Think metal would be seen as too aggressive and warrant cop attention?

no.

not anymore than anyhting else

Metal is just heavy

I doubt they're going to have swords or halberds or something

I just figure the dings of antifa bodies against it would be a melody

A Symphony of delight

If they did that would be pretty sweet.

Makena real Viking shield https://www.facebook.com/O.W.Netherlands/videos/1879357082385487/

Roman symbols?

I see nothing Roman only Germanic

maybe a triskelion, but that'd be lost on normies

Put a swazi on it

I'm thinking the flag of Corsica

ddude holy shit

I saw the metal framing and figured it would help protect the edge

It's only 12 gauge steel so it's not very heavy

Just get some hose

Like rubber garden hose

^^^

contact cement is your friend for gluing shit too

Found a nice center shield adornment but could it be deemed a weapon with this?

best not to chance it

unless you wanna chance it

I found a black wrought-iron skull about the size of your palm at Home Depot. It's actually a bottle opener back in D handles and knobs department and it's pretty cool

Skull would be fucking bad ass omg. A white painted shield (currently favored color) with a gray or black skull 😍
