Today is part 2 of making the hylian shield.
I am just going to start where I left off. After all pieces are glued, I now start to paint. I first start painting with Plastidip. 
Plastidip will give it a nice base coat. Now I spray the shield with silver spray paint.
Then I tape the edges of the pointy fives and boarder of the shield. I spray the shield with blue spray paint.
Now I peel it off. 
Now I spray gold spray paint into a plastic cup and brush it on the three triangles. 
I print out the red bird on the bottom half of the shield.
Now I cut it out and trace it on 1mm thick foam. Then I painted it red and I glued it on. 
That's the finished build! Thank you for reading my post! leave your suggestions for my next build in the comments!
That's great work. Will there be a costume to go along with it? Or just going to mount it on the wall?
Anyway, good to find other folks interested in cosplay here. It's a bit of a needle in a haystack to find the original content like ours.
I will not be making a full costume to go with it, but I am planning on hanging it on my wall as a display piece! Thank you for commenting, @brokenbokeh!
Very cool! So, are you into Halloween? Before having kids, my husband and I loved dressing up for Halloween, or helping others with their costumes, specifically the make up or special effects. But with the effort you're putting into building these props, I bet it's nice to be able to show them off somewhere.
Halloween is just the tip of the iceberg. 😉 People dress up in super elaborate costumes and attend conventions, it's called cosplay (costume + play). You may have seen some photos from news articles about San Diego ComiCon.
I have! Some of those costumes are AMAZING! My kids are a bit young though, and I know some costumes are on the scary or risque side for now, but it looks like fun!
That is true, they can be risque or scary.
GREAT JOB! I Iove it!
He DID do a great job! Btw, how are you doing? Really enjoyed our chat at the meetup! Find me on discord!
You should make Drax's knives from Guardians of the Galaxy.
