Sir Wolf:
i wanna make a heater shield. which shield do you guys have? i need some dimentions

Sir Edward:

The one I got from KoA is this one:  http://www.kultofathena.com/product~item~801206~name~Medieval+Kite+Shield.htm (20"x32" according to the website)

My enormous aluminum shield is 23" wide (straight) or 27" wide (around the curve), and is almost a full 36" tall. The sides are vertical for the first 13." from the top, before starting to curve towards the point.

Sir Brian:
I got mine from the same place, but went the cheaper route with this one.

Sir Ed's is far more durable and the straps are better secured to the shield as well as being
of higher quality...hence the price difference I imagine!  ;)


btw Sir Ed…The final coat of black was put on your shield and it looks gorgeous! He only has
to paint the blue and white fields and it should be done. Hope you have those stencils ready!
 ;D

Sir Wolf:
kewl.  i am trying to make mine.  I've already got the wood read to go (curved)  I just now need to decide the size and how to get the heater shape to lay out correctly.  You guys wouldn't be so kind as to give me a lil more measurements would ya? hehehe.  like say every 6 or so inches down from the top it is this wide etc so I can get a decent shape? please please? hehehe

Sir Edward:
Excellent! Can't wait to see it. :) Nope, haven't even started on those stencils! I need to get off my butt and start designing them.

Well, once I get mine back I can give you some measurements more precisely. The aluminum one is probably not the one you want to copy since it's so freakin huge.
