Description
Patterns for a Round Shield of 62cm (24.4inch) height. Vector files can be scaled to any desired size. This file contains a sizing chart that will show you exactly what scale you will need to get the size you need.
You can also see a demonstration on how to build a generic foam shield in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aa3wXDD1c8
I recommend using two layers of 10mm low-density EVA foam (high density works too) for the main body, one layer of 5mm foam for the detail border and 5mm for the arm and hand strap. Use contact cement glue to stick all foam pieces together.

It was really easy to follow the instructions. It details how to print the design cut outs to the correct size. I got this to make Captain America’s shield! :)
