Deku Shield

Continuing my tribute to Zelda...The Deku Shield! Made this afternoon while I was waiting for a different prop to dry. Made from layers of pink insulation foam that I shaped with a dremmel then painted with acrylics. Tomorrow I'll attach a leather strap to the back so it can be wielded and a loop at the top so it can be hung on the wall. Sadly the picture doesn't do it justice, I hate to toot my own horn, but the wooden texture is AWESOME in person 
Tomorrow I may try to take a new picture in better light and hope it'll get some more of the detailed painting.
Now available on etsy! [link]

I so want this for my LARP sessions.
I love it! Only thing that bugs me is the shield's shape is backwards. The red-painted part is great, along with the wood texture. c: Great work!
haha I know! I did it without reference XD you think that someone who has made this shield so many times would have gotten it right!
...why does the 'silly tongue' face look like it's dead?! : P
Can I just say you have amazing grass! oh and the shield looks pretty cool too 
Man, I wish I could make something like this. O.o
Wow, it's awesome!
I really love your work.
It's so real looking!!!

nice, you should try to make one of actual wood. Like they would have in Hyrule
Great job!
Now all you need to do is wait for the hero of time so he can buy it from your shop!
This is AMAZING!
I'm not entirely convinced you didn't steal this from Link himself! XD

That must've taken a lot of patience, getting all the grooves in the "wood". Looks pretty dang good in the photo, so it must look amazing up close!
That is so cool. 
It looks like it's real wood.

Nice recreation! ^^ Very cool!
Very realistic indeed. I like the use of detail, as it is very heavy.
That looks incredibly accurate! 
Well done!
