Ok... I'm better.
I've finally printed out and tested my viking shield template, and after several tweaking attempts I've come up with a template that fits very very nicely.
Unfortunately, unlike the octagonal shields, the stud in the middle of the shield isn't the same size as an actual LEGO stud. So unlike the octagonal shields, a standard hole punch won't create the right sized hole AFAIK. I had to cut that little devil out by hand. Ugh.
I've also created a different version of my previously released falcon viking shield, this time in a triangular configuration.
I'll be downloading all the pictures from the toy fairs to do all of the original viking shields I can find, as well as all the original factions (as per usual). I'll also be creating some unique designs all my own (if no one minds, that is).
I will, of course, put them all together in an article when I'm finished.
