GAUL SHIELDS
« on: February 19, 2012, 22:46:26 »
Hi all!
A request from Wot put in the mood for another batch of Gaul shields. Here are the designs I came up with.
This time I figured I could just show you a .gif image, since I haven't printed them yet.

Very nice designs! I especially like the first one.

These are really cool, cowabounga. I've seen a lot of your customs, and they are definitely cool. What sources do you use for heraldry and such? I know a lot of Playmobil's knights have their own unique heraldry, but what source do you use for your more historical ones? I ask because I greatly enjoy studying Medieval European history and am curious to know!  :)

Thanks all!
@Pynedor: I take inspiration from Google images, which often leads me to wiki. I also have a few books on heraldry, most of my designs are historical.
@Cheng: are you sure about both long shields? The white one is very different from the image I used...
Best,
Arnaud

Cool, cool. Well done, your designs are great. I enjoyed looking at your pictures of custom knights in the other threads that you made.
