High Elven Warrior Shield
Transforming a surfboard into an Elvish shield required sculpting the base shape from the recycled plastic, building details using foam and 3d printed parts and reinforcing the entire shield with fiberglass and carbon fiber. After a multi-layer painting process, the resulting shield inspired by the Lord of the Rings film prop melds with the colors, shapes and textures of the forest in shadow but glows with a metallic bronze sheen in direct light.
For more information on the creation of this shield, please view the video series documenting the process.
