Your goal is to swing the pen like a pendulum from one slice of the shield to another, making perfect circles and connecting the slices. Essentially think of this step as connect the dots. Look to the photo included for the diameters of each ring. Tie one end of the string to the bolt at the center of the shield, and the other end to the sharpie pen with various specific lengths of string. You now need to trace the rings onto the shield with sharpie so that you will know where to dremel. Now that you have your shield divided into sections, drill a small screw into the exact center of the shield, but not all the way. It is imperative that this step is executed properly, because when the paint is applied it will really make any small flaws stand out. This step is quite possibly the most tedious and most important part of the project. When finished, it will look and feel like metal as well. However this is not your ordinary plastic, it is as smooth as metal, and much more light and durable. That being said, here is everything that you should need and how much it cost me: Materials: - MH Saucer Sled ($32) - Rust-oleum metalic paint in colors: Cobalt Blue, Silver, and Apple Red ($23-$25) - Rust-oleum paint primer ($7) - Two 44" tan leather belts ($20) - Four 1.5" D-rings ($7) - At least ten 3/4" neodymium disk magnets ($10) - Superglue ($3-$15) - General purpose repair putty ($5) - About 5' of 1.25" x 1/16" weldable steel ($12) - Eight 1/4" cable tie clamps ($8) - Eight 1 1/2" rectangle rings ($9) - Tiny furniture nails ($2) - Small self-drilling screws ($3) - Eight relatively small nuts and bolts ($1.50) Tools: - Drill - Small drill bits - Dremel - Cutting wheel dremel bit - Small abrasive engraving Dremel bit - 800 and 150 grit sandpapers - Painters tape - Sharp cutting blade - Palm sander - Tape measure Side note: Yes, the sled is made of plastic. Your journey will likely take a lot of searching for specific parts, and also a lot of waiting for them to be delivered in the mail. While Cap's shield is as beautiful as a new penny, for me (probably because I'm a teenager) it also cost a pretty penny to make. And to those of you who decide to make your own shield, I hope you have a super time! Let's get started! So for those reading, thank you! I hope you enjoy. I have designed the handles in a way that while still acting as handles, may be pulled from the back of the shield to convert them into shoulder straps, so you may wear the shield on your back. So I went to work, and after months of sketching, measuring, planning and building, this Instructable is ready to be shared. But there is also a certain satisfaction that comes from building something yourself. I've heard about and even talked to many people who would love to own a legitimate replica of the famous shield. So for a while now I have been brainstorming to create something better than I have ever made before, something. Having known of Instructables for years now, I've seen the amazing tutorials you all have made. He had always been my favorite superhero, with his adventurous story, his good character, his quick thinking, and of course, his amazing shield.
It was easily the best Marvel movie I had ever seen. When I first saw Captain America: Winter Soldier shortly after it premiered in theaters, I was in awe.
