One of the reasons I became a prop maker was because I enjoyed making things, and during my time at college before university I ended up making a few props. Whilst it wasn't the first, this shield was one of those that helped me go down the path of being a prop maker, and it is the only one that I still have and keep out on display.

​

The shield is made of thick cardboard from an old office calendar and painted with cheap spray paint, with an old belt butchered into straps on the back.

​

One day I do hope to come back and remake this shield, using proper techniques to make it as a proper replica.
