Ok, I tried to make a riot shield and here's what I came up with:

I found the lid from an plastic ice box, which had the thickness I thought I wanted:

Then I cut out a strip 1½ cm:

Komfritten's Riot Shield 2011-10-21%2015.05.52-1

Then cut it down to size of 2½ cm:

Komfritten's Riot Shield 2011-10-21%2015.06.54-1

The corners was then cut off (no measurementes - just use your good eye):

The first layer is placed upon the strip, and I cut out another one:

There you have it - two identical pieces:

Then I drew out the top layer:

Komfritten's Riot Shield 2011-10-21%2015.12.11-1

And cut it out - being carefull only to cut AWAY from the corners...

Komfritten's Riot Shield 2011-10-21%2015.14.25-1 Komfritten's Riot Shield 2011-10-21%2015.16.52-1

The two layers are glued together by your favourite adhesive / glue / .... whateevah:

Komfritten's Riot Shield 2011-10-21%2015.19.15-1

Then I cut out the slid for looking through:

Komfritten's Riot Shield 2011-10-21%2015.23.24-1

And I tried to make the effect of bolts on the shield by dropping some PVA glue on the top layer - do not know how that will turn out yet, but I'm looking forward to see it:

There you have it - the beginning of a riot shield.

Ace tutorial - simplicity itself!

My thoughts excactly! I can already see a line of these shields with shotgun wielding badasses behind them. These shields look almost unbreakable, very sollid and cool.

Change the back layer to the clear plastic form a ballista pack and you could have a see through riot shield Wink
