Alrighty, I already have a Cap TFA shield so I thought it was time to make myself a stealth one. I got my blank from Rolo and it's 26" was what I got since my other shield is 26" too. I got my star from Valor and he makes the best stars.. love his stuff.
Once I saw the one they had on display at comic con I knew I would have to make one.
So I wiped down the back, front and star all down with acetone before I started.
Here's a pict of my blank and start blue taped to it:
I then traced the star on a piece of paper and cut it out smaller than the actual star. Next I taped it on to the shield and traced it.
Nexted I taped off the inside of the star and 1st circle to be ready for the dark blue inner circle
next I cut out the inner cirlce with an exacto knife and tape off the rest of the shield so it was ready to paint
I laid down about 4 light coats of the metallic blue and then a few more coats to get the color I wanted
I let it sit to dry and then pulled the tape and taped and cut everything to lay down the light blue
taped the back all up to keep it clean as well
will hit with the light blue next!
