Make a Spartan Shield like in the movie 300
February 5th, 2010I have a complete tutorial that shows you how to cheaply and easily make a spartan shield. It looks just like the ones they used in the movie 300.
But first you might want to take a look at a real spartan shield. The picture below is a shot I took of a real spartan shield in a museum in Athens Greece. The plaque reads: Bronze Spartan Shield - loot from the Battle of Pylos 425 B.C. This shield has seen some action.
If you want a closer look I have a bigger picture on my website here: A Real Spartan Shield
I also have a home video of the monument at the actual battlefield of Thermopylae where the battle of the 300 took place. It is on my youtube channel here: The Battle of Thermopylae monument
If you want to make your own Spartan Shield the tutorial is here: Make a Spartan shield
Here is a picture of what it looks like when completed:
