Another nice design! Looks a bit blurry around the golden parts, but I think when its smaller it would be ok.

Awesome! I wonder what it would look like in other colors..

I really need to get a decent printer (and some spare shields...)

Thats caused by me. What happens is when I post these, I insert a picture (of the shield) into word, size it to the approximate where you can see everything, and then do a print screen. I then past this into paint and save it as a .jpg. I know its a lot of work, and it makes the colors all blurry and weird.
Eventually I gotta get a decent graphics program.

by the way - here is a matching Triangle shield:

Mine does that too. I'm not sure what the best one would be though. Brickshelf doesn't seem to be working now, so I can't see the shields

I love the oval shield! It looks a lot like a Viking kite shield to me. I think that it would have looked nice just with the border (plain doesn't always mean bad), but the central boss is a very nice touch. And, as others have said, this would look quite nice in other colors... I'm envisioning black or blue with silver trim.

Or leave as is for a Celtic tribe... Or make a made-up faction, or play dumb and say it belongs to ancient Canadians (now known only in their descendents, the Quebecois

).

Okay, just joking on the last one.

Seriously speaking, I like the idea of it as a Rohirric shield, but it would great for however gets it (if not necessarily accurate).

OK - One more - before I print a slew of these. I like the way the torsos turned out - I used a picture from the movies to make them...

Oh!!!!! I like, I like!!!

That is an awesome torso, Freak! A lot like the classic Crusader/Black Knight/Royal Knight scale mail, but cooler-looking. Kind of a more regal version, if you get what I'm saying. I may well have to borrow this....

That second oval shield is even better than the first. The knotwork around the central boss really gives the design that little extra something that I didn't realize was missing before.
I love your torsos too. Forgive me if I'm missing it, but is there a difference between the three of them?

Dang good... Contact Lego and send all these Lotr creations to them, maybe they'll finnaly make a lotr faction then... I don't know why they didn't already?

Thanks Doc! - I thought it was missing something too, but then when i did it i still liked the plain one too.
Thats why I kept it.
And nah - theres no difference, I am just getting ready to print them is all. I went to the local office depot, but their computer is broken, so i will go to the one right next to my work tomorrow, and maybe you will all be able to see what they look like on a torso.
