Captain America Rescue Version Budget Shield Speed Build

I love it when I manage to get something done in the space of a few days.

This isn't exactly movie accurate but I'm happy with it as a little decorative piece.

Started with a sheet of foam board £1



Marked it up



roughtly



cut a bit of spare foam to match the curve



to make sure the curve was the same on both sides



marked up circles to draw the stars in. I drew round CDs for the outer ones and a pan lid for the middle. Very technical I know.



Spray paint



More paint and some masking later boosh. nice enough rescue shield.



(the lines are all the same width but this things like an optical illusion they look wonky depending on the angle. )


Goes nicely with my Rescue helmet

Plastic helmet £6
Goggles £1.99

looks good, i'm moving soon and was thinking of a Cap shield on the wall of my new mancave but wasn't sure on how to get one done on the cheap... this would be perfect though.
thanks for sharing!

Cheers, yeah it's not going to win any beauty awards but this was a weekends work off and does the trick.

Wanna make me one?
Great job for the weekend, where did you get your foam from? Never figured out a good source this side of the pond.

Hobbycraft do big sheets of foam with card on both sides for around £1 a sheet if theres a deal on which there usually is. Website has £4 on 3 for 2 but i remember getting mine a bit cheaper.
