Step 2The Design

The Design
So, after some hard internet searching, I actually pulled up on amazon a sword and shield that someone was selling. So I used these as a precedent, although if you look hard enough at the finished product you will see that I made some changes.

So I got the images, brought them into AutoCAD and scaled them to the size that I wanted. At this point I traced both the sword and the shield. You can get the two images below and do the same, OR since I did the hard part you can jump ahead to where we start cutting and assembling.

If you decide to do it yourself, you really need to visualize the end product and start breaking the shield and sword down in your mind into its component layers.

Next we will see what that looks like.
