Okay I took another stab at making a scutum. shes 40 x 30. 2 layers of 1/4 luanun really heavy. This boss is from armamentaria and is actual hand hammered although the sanded and polished the face smooth :/ I had to cut the boss down a lot it was humungous.
I'll admit i used synthetic leather on the face but this thing looks totally awesome like that. leather was over a 100 bucks for a sheet this size. Anyway I'll use my other shield for rough housing. I tried to curve this one as much as possible I left it on the form for over 24 hours when i pulled it off for some reason glue most of not of fully dried so i quickly rushed to put it in its form again
its gotta a lot more curve then my other but I actually like its curve. Anyway I'm not done with it yet, going to edge it in brass and I may put a loral reef on it someday. Oh yeah I did steal the wing from legio vic!
Tell me what you guys think and what you think I should add! opinions critiques are all welcome here! I'll put more pictures up soon.
