captain America shield

I came across this as I was browsing thru a catalogue and thought with the right graphic this would make an excellent captain america shield and it is made of metal to boot. it is their downhill dasher Item #51347

looks like its a good size, fill in those holes for the rope handles and weld some new handle mounts or whatever you want closer to the center and it would be great...

If you get it, post photos. It would be nice to see its shape when viewed from the side.

A welder can probably help you set something up on the reverse side so you can attach leather straps.

I have 3 of those things, but I bought em off QVC ~2 years ago. I was going to make a cap shield and have some vinyl stickers done to make it a lot easier than painting.

Well, turns out I don't have any talent for vinyl stickering, and now I have 3 sleds and I live in Louisiana.

They will, however, make excellent cap shields. Cut the rope, epoxy/steel putty the holes, grind the crap out of the round side to get the paint off, repaint, glue some leather straps on there with 2 ton epoxy and BLAMMO, one not so instant Cap shield.
