Patterns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As for the axe, I first re-drew the shield in vector graphics on Illustrator while placing each part of the shield on separate layers. This shield is a bit huge, so we had to plan different assembly parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also cut the borders, that we glued using neoprene. Then, Joris carved them with our Dremel to get the right shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
