"Uruk Hai shields" Topic

Some of my GW Uruk Hai scout plastic figures don't have shields. I'd like them all to have them. Any suggestions for making or converting shields?

I would not mind round shields, but would prefer something angular, They don't have to look just like the originals.

thanks

Saruman's ones are described in LotR as having round shields.

Just sayin'…

If you pick up the Red Box Fantasy 1/72 "Half Orcs", you could clip the shields off… they bear a striking (but purely coincidental) similarity fo the Peter Jackson Uruks.

1/72 is smaller than GW's 25mm+ LOTR line, but not by much. If you just are talking about shields, it should work well. You can find the sets on ebay.

I would have thought that Uruk Hai shields could be quite easily mocked up using some scrap plastic sheet.

Try something like this. Look at the #3 tack.

I'm not trying to match LotR books. I do Tolkien-inspired, but not refights. These are just my bigger orcs to the smaller orcs (Moria goblins). Actually, I think of all of them as goblins, and my battles as on the border of Faerie, in a not-so-cute sort of way.

I may try with scrap sheet, but I'm not sure of my ability to make 8 that look good.

Andy, why not make an Instant Mould and cast them in Green Stuff?

PS. Or … just trim these things to the desired shape and size (or trace):

The nails idea is nifty, thanks. I'll have to ask daughter about them.

My son has some of that instant mold stuff, I think. Maybe I could make one and cast copies.

thanks

I really like the Upholstery Nail idea.
