Jimmy Da Moose presents- Captain America's Shield!

[Noskey]

I don't mean to necro, but the shield is looking excellent! Have you got anymore progress on it lately? It's gorgeous!

[Jimmy Da Moose]

No problem, sorry I didn't see the response, I've been a bit busy the last few days. Anyway, I have done more work since the last pictures, but it would be difficult to see any changes, and I haven't done anything in the past two weeks. But my armor is done, so I'll be spending a lot more time on the shield. I want to have it ready by the Avengers premiere.

loving the shield jimmy, i have just finished watching Captain America again and it looks perfectly proportional to you, well I think so anyways :-) keep it up man cant wait to see more progress! (Btw loving the beatles poster haha XD)

[Jimmy Da Moose]

Thanks man! I'm gonna try and do some work on it this weekend, so I'll try and have some updates by Sunday night.

[Jimmy Da Moose]

Alright everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates on this guys. I did most of this the last few days, and I haven't had a lot of free time to post pictures.

I did take a lot of progress pictures, but I'm only going to post the finished product. So enjoy:



I chose to do a single strap and handle instead of the duel straps like the movie uses because it gives much more control. If anyone is interested in how I did the strapping, I could post a tutorial.

I'm giving it to my girlfriend tomorrow, so I'll get some action pictures of her with it tomorrow.

As always, I hope everyone likes it!

Great job Jimmy! It sure is a beaut! Was looking forward to seeing the end product and it sure surpassed my expectations. I heard from a lot of people that doing that shield would be quite difficult, trying to keep the circular shape, but you pulled it off! I also think the colouring is great as well. Overall, a 10/10!

[Jimmy Da Moose]

Thanks! That means a lot!

I've been meaning to post the .obj file I made, too. I would post the pep file, but I never bought the program, so I can't save the unfold. But its super easy to unfold, so its no big deal. I'll post it tomorrow for everyone.

[Noskey]

Awesome! I'll definitely check it out after work tomorrow night.

[Jimmy Da Moose]

I've been promising I would post the model, so here it is!
