Here is a pic of the shield and the handle. It is a two piece item. The peg will fit snug, but after repeated removal it will become loose. We suggest to use a very small drop of plastic safe hobby glue/super glue. But at first decide for youself if you want it left handed or right handed. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/sith35/B...ink/shield1.jpg Now when it comes to paint. There are a few things. The easiest is to prep the piece. Basically just mild dish soap and water. Give it a wash and the paint will stick better. You can always prime the piece first. I know games workshop has a plastic safe spray paint that works great for priming. Also I have heard about a new spary by krylon I believe called plasticoat. I have not used it yet, but I plan on it. It is designed to stick to plastics that have problem bonding with paint. As far as decals go. I have not done too much at all with decals. So I am not going to try and answer that question for you. But, my best guess would be if a decal is having a hard time sticking to the surface. I would prep it with dish soap and water. Dry it well and give it a try. Chris.

Hello everyone, I browse your forums a few times a week. Just never felt the call to register. I saw this post and felt it was a good time to say hello. All of our pieces are factory molded. They arrive to us on the sprue. We do our best to make sure they are clean before they are shipped out. By the sounds of it, better pictures are needed to be put up. This is true. A hobby knife, or a good pair of Diagonal Cutting Plier does very well for this. And gylman, thanks for posting this. Chris.
