I've been hearing some chatter about people making armor. I thought that needed a thread. Kite Shield: 2 layers of heavy cardboard with a paper coating. Dragon is separately cut out of cardboard and painted before attaching. Sword: Wooden blade was shaped by hand then covered with aluminium tape. Textured finish is black spray paint, rubbed back with steel wool when dry. Viking shield: 2 layers of cardboard with paper mache over the top. Viking helmet: moulded to my son's head by making a template from a plastic bag and duct tape then paper mache over the top.

Project Nerf: NERF FIRESTRIKE Before... After... This is phase 1. Grey base coat with metalic silver over the barrels. A light spray gives the burnt/dirty metal effect. Matte black on the grip. Next is to do some age/distressing.

Oh my Goodness. Euphy, your shields and swords look amazing! I made armour for the movie launch but it wasn't very good! I don't have the photos on the computer yet - Just on my phone. When I work out how to move them to my computer I'll see post one!
