Aluminum shield blank
« on: 2011-05-15, 15:17:22 »

Hey guys, I have an aluminum shield blank I'm looking to get rid of. It's an SCA-style aircraft aluminum shield. It's just the bare shield body, so you'd have to do all the strapping, edging, painting, etc. It's pretty big, about 24x36" if I recall (remind me to get actual measurements). And it's tough. To ship it to me, they didn't even put it in a box. They just slapped a shipping label on it and sent it out in the open. I don't remember who I ordered it from unfortunately. But I've never used it, and it's just taking up space.

Anyone interested? I'll let you have it for free if you can pick it up from me in person.

I'll try to remember to take a picture of it as well.

If no one else bites, I'd be happy to take it off your hands. :)

Oh you're a regular Knight Commander to be sure! 

Sir James, I'll accede to you since you did express interest first.  Should you decide not to take it- I'll be more than glad to.

How's that for bloodless, eh?

Sir William, I'll accept accedence under the terms that I get your greave strap fixed for you. My plan is to paint the shield blank to match my gonfalon, as I have an ultra-high-res image of the lion statant on hand I can print and trace to make a template from.

I will have to graciously decline the first tankard of beer offer, as I don't drink. I think this should be a fair compromise? :)

Cool, remind me to throw it in the truck before heading down to VARF on our knighting weekend. I can hand it off to you then.
