Thanks Jay for posting here. And, lol, thanks guys, I guess that really is a great compliment
No, no photoshop, that was the prototype, and I've come a long way since then. Here are some of the latest ones I've made. My next few that I am making will be the most accurate so far, including the grooves on the back, the correct mounting hardware, and correct handle bracket. These are close, but do not have the grooves on the back and the bracket is not as accurate as the latest version. I prefer to have a hard mount grip and black leather, so i made mine with that as well, though I have made some with the full leather strapping like the film.
It's been a long process, and lots of additions, upgrades, and detail added since the prototype. My next updated version will be coming in January. But I can post progress pics if anyone here is interested. Thanks. And please, if you have an critiques or any comments, do not hesitate to post. I am always looking for ways to improve and/or make the shields more film accurate and I know there are a ton of very talented artists on this forum. Thanks again.
