My Zelda shield in production!

[Jareddude 62]

I am currently making a Zelda shield, form Wind Waker!

Here they are!

The body is made of pure cardboard, very strong. The red part is made of paint. Also the Triforce pieces are painted yellow with paint. The outer edge is taped on and painted with one coat of yellow, and covered with a silver crayon, which worked very well!

The back is colored with brown crayons. The white parts are glue, which held one of the straps, but I removed it so I could completely work on it without messing up. I put the Triforce pieces and the circles in the middle ot show where I am putting them. I might do the eagle thing and those line designs in cardboard, but i don't know yet.

What do you think?

looks good so far, you should def do the lines and the winged creature. if u want the edges to be shiny maybe u could use some aluminum foil or something like that.

[Jareddude 62]

Thank you!

I think it already looks shiny already actually. Its just going to be used to play, i'm not too worried about that.

I was thinking of doing the lines on the shield itself, then trace with black marker. I will do the winged creature at one point or another.

Thanks for looking!

The red part is made of paint

That made me laugh.

Nice shield though.

[Jareddude 62]

Why did that make you laugh? lol

Thanks! ^.^

I unno. I just think it sounds weird. Like:

- "I made this house!"

-- "Outta what? Wood? Bricks?"

- "Nope, I made it outta paint!"

brilliant work for an amateur such as yourself. i believe u could create a whole arsenal in a matter of days if u keep this stuff up. and again looks good, dont let anybody else tell u otherwise.

[Jareddude 62]

Heh, thanks

I also made a hylian shield, Deku Shield, and some other equipment!I like your avatar too

That's actually really nice looking, Jared!

Keep up the good work, you're great at this for an amateur :3

[Jareddude 62]

Thanks

I've been making them for about 2 years, but this is my bestest!!

I think that maybe the site should hold a contest rewarding the person who makes the best zelda item. our u can select 1 item a week for people to work on and reward accordingly.

what do u guys think?

if this hasn't been done already.

[PrimaGaga 1025]

I think that money would be more involved then skills in a contest like that.

Someone could by a premade wooden sheild and paint it, for example. Although... I wanna see a skull hammer.
