Every shield I measure in Photoshop, from the original prop to the Masterworks edition, the center circle is 9.5".
Not sure why it looks bigger in my photo...

My guess- photoshop can’t account for the curve.
Looks like a King Arts and an Efx there?
But both those shields are advertised as 24", which I feel is an ideal size. I think once you scale up to 25", you'll have to adjust the scale of everything else.I think Relicmaker is correct as the eFx and Masterworks shields are similar so the center circle is 9”.
I'll disagree with you on this one. If it's not much more trouble to include that subtle design I think it should be included. The goal is to recreate it as exact as possible.Regarding the wider groove in the back (carried over from the hero prop these castings were made from) I wouldn’t mind if we didn’t replicate that and went with a more idealized back with consistent groove widths like Chris Fields and Relicmaker have done in the past.
Ok, so I measured the center circle of my shield photo in Photoshop this time and it shows that it's 10.25", when measured by hand it is 9.5".
The Masterworks' center circle in Photoshop is about 9.7". So, given the difference in my shield to my shield photo, the Masterworks center circle is probably around 9"....
So, photos of the shields are definitely not the best things to take measurements from...
The curve of the shield definitely messes with the depth of the focus of the camera or something...
We'll definitely need measurements off the original prop or a Masterworks shield, not photos, to make this more accurate.
And the 9" star is scaled for a 24" diameter shield.Which I’d exactly what I said. Relic makers star is about half an inch too big.
