Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?
Okay, so I just want a badass wall decor so I made a/the Captain America Shield.
I tried to make it as simple as possible thats why it is not perfect..but still enough cool.. I mean in the geek world.
The Materials

The main important thing is the base, so the body of the shield.
Im checkhed many many option...parabola antenna dish, fiber glass, foam, snow sled, but finally I found an iron grill plate with the perfect shape. The leg and handle remove was the only necesarry modification.
Bodywork

For the nice surface I needed to grinding the whole shield. That was a long and hard part but it is necessary for the steel look.

To make the plan for the star and circles I had to made an unique calipers, so I just drill 3 pen-size hole into a wood piece with the perfect distance and drew the template.
According to the template, masked the different part..and then in the last step I just paint everything for the right color.
I like the battle damaged look so I put on some shot mark as well.
The Result

Finally I just cleaned the whole shield and put it on the wall with a small data table.
I know it is not perfect and a bit hand made look but actually not bad and I liked to make.:-)
