I'm a Shieldcup shipper. Deal with it XD

What do you think about the Shield? And it's not in the second film, is it?

...

And does anybody know how I can build me one?

EDIT: I don't know in which category I should put it, maybe Dreamworks dragons?

I personally really liked the sheild, and no, it wasn't in the second movie. It would have been nice to see it up on a wall or something, kind of an homage to the series, but I don't think anything from DoB was ever mentioned or referenced

And as for making one, I built mine by taking an old wooden crate, cutting a circle out of it, painting the emblem and put an old pot lid in the center. And here is the result:



I plan on making a better one out of better wood when I have time, might make a good wall piece. This one was originally going to be used for a costume, but I went in a different direction with it (ARRR...)

As for making the Gronckle Iron version... Good luck, lol. Perhaps if you cut the wood into triangles that make up a circle, then paint it silver?

Splash: Dad? can I have wood and a few really sharp utensils? I want to build something.

Dad: *moves back*



Yes, I should only dream about it... or wait until I'm 18 XD

Deranged, your shield looks really cool !

Thank you! I wish it would stay in one piece though, lol. I used it in the "Dragons, dragons, dragons" video, and what you can't see is the packing tape holding the metal part onto it, hahaha.

KD that does the trick all the same !

KD? Not sure what that is...

I'm in love with the shield and every time Hiccup uses it It's so cool! I was also really hoping to at least see it in the background in HTTYD 2...but no I wonder if we begged the animators, if they would add it in somewhere for the 3rd?

Wow, great job on the shield!

I'm also a fan of Hiccup's shield --it would be awesome if it showed up in the movies somewhere ... He obviously moved on to Inferno, but I like the idea of it being in the background, maybe his room or something?

LOL, I saw the toy shield they were selling on sale at WalMart And I almost bought it, but then I thought I'd be able to use the $15 to get materials to make one my size.

@DerangedTheDagur - how were you planning to hold/carry the shield? How would you make and attach a strap?

Great job on the shield.
