Re: Captain America Movie Shield REVEALED!
I wonder how much Russ will charge for full sized replicas so we all can wear them to the premiere? LOL!

It would also probably allow the character a viable way to carry it on his back like he sometimes did in the comic. (without having to switch to the "backpack hero (or stunt) shield")

So the straps can be unhooked and then become shoulder straps.

The ORIGINAL Captain America movie shield appeared in 2 made-for-TV movies in the late 1970s, and was a TRANSPARENT shield that doubled as the windshield of Captain America's MOTORCYCLE! :confused
It looked like this:
Be glad... very, VERY glad, that the new movie's producers didn't take inspiration from that depiction of Cap, with his alternate, Evel Knievel-inspired spandex outfit! :confused
Actually, that's the SECOND Captain America movie shield!I really like the dimensional aspect to it.
I''m sure they were inspired by the original Captain America movie shield.

Re: Captain America Movie Shield REVEALED!
So is it too early to start asking around to see who has the metal fabrication abilities to make this? I suggest those who know people who build metal r2d2 parts to see if this is something they can tackle. Seems right up their alley being that they make curved metal skins for r2 and domes.
Or perhaps someone who worked on the film can help us out with dimensions and specifics.
I thing there are a bunch of pieces involved that have to fit together perfectly. There's the edge piece in the back, where the leather straps connect to...all the interconnecting circles in the front and all the interconnecting circles in the back to hold it together. I think there Re two sets of circles because the back circles don't align with the circles in the front.
Sooooo.... Rylo, russrep...any r2 builders...any ideas who we can contact to get the ball rolling on this?

The prop nerd in me loves the design, and thinks it's great.
The comic nerd in me hates the design, and wishes they would have kept it red/white/blue and one solid piece like the comics.
They rarely agree on anything, so that is pretty normal.
I guess they couldn't use the "Miracle metal" idea and the mold of a tank hatch in the movies.

I really love the battle danaged look of the movie shield but I wonder who's gonna have the guts to do it their own replica?

I think that they did go for a "silver instead of white" look. The photo is just deceiving.

I broke down and did it. :lol
Keep us updated! Hopefully it'll be good enough for a nice repaint. Maybe perfect for a battle damage version!
