Creating Custom Duplo Knight Shield Decals

Post by evancelt »

Hi all -

When my sons got into Duplos in 2016, Lego had recently released the Lion Knight and Eagle Knight lines, which are kid-friendlier sets than the more historically accurate Castle sets from the early 2000s. The more recent Lion Knight and Eagle Knight sets didn’t come with shields, so we recently used stickers to customize Duplo knight shields from earlier knight sets to have the lion and eagle knight logos/colors.

Has anyone else made this sort of custom shield decal for Duplo? I saw some internet results for little legos, but not Duplos, so I ended up creating design files from measurements.

You can see a full write-up here, along with vector design files to make your own shield decals: https://www.evancrouch.com/fun/creating-cust ... ld-decals/
