   Hey Guys,

This was the last triangle shield I needed to do before I had finished drawing all of the official LEGO released triangle shield designs, at least the ones to my knowledge. It is the Lion Heart Shield (my own name, don’t really know what to call it) design from the set 1592. You know, that old town set that featured some play-acting medieval dressed knights in the street. They had an awesome shield design, and one I’m sure is very well sought after.

I can’t speak to how accurate it is as I’ve never managed to acquire a 1592...

but it sure is PURTY!

In fact your Shields Article is just chockablock full of nice work. I like all the variants that nevertheless fit in thematically... thanks for doing this work for the community!

Would you consider annotating that article’s illustrations to show which shields are authentic and which are extrapolated, and giving known names where possible? It’s a great resource already but that would make it even better.

Thanks much Larry! I’m glad you liked it, next to the Black Monarch’s shield it was the hardest one I had to do, simply for the lack of high quality, like-new sticker images. That isn’t to say I couldn’t find high quality images, just that I wasn’t able to find a crystal clear, clean sticker anyone had.

As for my shield article, that wasn’t supposed to be public yet :) I plan to include thumbnails for quick downloads and actual words and stuff. I was just building that page to show friends.

I plan to include other things in the article as well, including how to make your own shield from an existing picture, and rough directions on how to take the images on disk and turning them into stickers.

I’m also toying with the idea of making my raw photoshop files available for download so that people can make other variations, or whatever they’d like to do with them.

Thanks for the reply!

--Anthony
