Personally I'd like to see a fiberglass tutorial, or perhaps a polycarb version?  Either way something tougher than the clay.  Awesome tutorial though, Having basically no experience in this kind of thing it was pretty easy to follow and execute.

You couls use Papier Mache...smooth it with light sanding and applying several coats of Lacquer. You'd be amazed at how strong it is when finished...and not toxic like the two other processes you mentioned.

Create an idea of your own and make a Shield of some type or design you prefer...even with 3-D ornamentations, artificial jewel gems embedded, bracelets, etc...and a Crown for your favorite Lady or character...just use your God-given imagination.

Impressive. You should consider making this into a business; I'd be willing to pay upwards of fifty bucks for one of those. Just out of curiosity, how fragile are these?

An interesting juxtaposition of professional techniques and less than stellar execution. Kudos for making the instructable however include the correct way of fabricating this kind of mask. From a distance this looks pretty nice. If you had spent some more time on symmetry and final smoothing, you could have a screen-worthy piece here. Great job on the tutorial itself!

that is really cool i like the concept but you should include the back half as well I' d like to see a batman mask

One could take a shortcut and buy the Iron Man costume they sell in most stores for about $50. The sculpt is good all you need to make is the back half and add the eyes.
