Make a Boromir Shield with Plywood & EVA Foam | LOTR SHIELD for Larping or Cosplay Faux Leather

Hi Everyone! A few of you have been asking me to make Boromir's shield, and I finally managed to do it!
I decided to make it as close to the screen used prop as possible, and after much research that meant making a shield with a convex front surface and a flat back surface. The shield is made with EVA foam and uses lauan to create a suitable support surface to adhere the foam to, and also incorporates metal into the grip and brackets in order to make it more durable for larping needs. Even with these added elements the shield is very light and weighs under 5 lbs.

It's an intense build but actually pretty easy, and if you would like to make one here is a

I printed the stamps and the buckle on my ‪@ElegooOfficial‬ Neptune 3 Pro with a layer height of 0.09 to make sure that cleanup would be a breeze.

I hope you enjoy this build and find my template useful! Please like and comment to create activity so my channel will get seen!!!
Thank you for watching & ENJOY!
