MKJoshA Posted October 4 Posted October 4 Built for the Summer Joust 2025 Still Life category I made a life-size sword, shield and helmet. I was very honored to get mentioned by @Kai NRG in this month's Blocks magazine. Here are some closer shots of each item. And here's how I built the helmet: Thanks for looking! Quote
GeoBrick Posted October 4 Posted October 4 Nice detail on the sword's blade with the centerline indentation. The fleur de lis on the shield definitely puts de country on the map. The only thing missing is a picture of you with the helmet on. Quote

That's a really cool built tho. Quote
Jody Meyer Posted October 5 Posted October 5 so no picture with you wearing the helmet? Great job, I saw these on your flickr webpage ealier, congrats. Quote
Corydoras Posted October 5 Posted October 5 I love the sword and the shield. The helmet - not so much. Quote
MAP Tec Posted October 6 Posted October 6 Great idea. Love the shape and good work!!! Good use of parts by the way Quote
Feuer Zug Posted October 6 Posted October 6 How do they hold up on the field of honor? Really, great work making the tools of the knight at full scale. Nice crest on the shield. Quote

Great job, I saw these on your flickr webpage ealier, congrats. Unfortunately while the helmet is technically full size, it was just slightly too small to fit on my head.

You can hold both the sword and shield, but neither are very study. I would need to do a lot more work to get them field ready Quote
I_really_want_that_gearbox Posted October 7 Posted October 7 That shield has to be heavy as heck. Quote
Seagull King of Vaughan Posted October 14 Posted October 14 Amazing! The shield makes a great display piece, and it has a very interesting shape that I’ve not seen elsewhere. Quote
domik Posted October 14 Posted October 14 Really cool! The helmet looks really nice and stands out. Quote
