    Update: Decided to complete the reference. There ain't many marvel weapons left worth doing, maybe Ill do a stormbreaker but I don't like the idea of modelling that wooden handle

    I had a request for a captain america shield for use with MP-10, and while I have completed that I realised that with all the weapon ports on the arms and backs siege figures were the perfect figures for a little crossover flair. Have a look for yourself, I think it came out looking surprisingly good

    I've uploaded a block colour version of the shield to shapeways if anyone is interested:

    Niiiice! Would've saved me wasting a Cap America shield to do this if this had been posted sooner. I needed a sheild because I wanted to paint Seige Op as that Cap Optimus KO MP10 in Cap's color scheme. Guess I can give my son the figure and the sheild as this one looks spot on to the KO's.

    This is awesome! Love the detail you put into it!

    I second this idea. Replace the star with an Autobot symbol and it's perfect!

    You can. I'm upgrading my printer right now, but I'm more than happy to sell you a copy of each

    I'm guessing it would be too hard to print "WHOSOEVER HOLDS THIS HAMMER, IF THEY BE WORTHY, SHALL POSSESS THE POWER OF THOR" in cyberglyphics on the side of the hammer?

    I mean, I could do it, but I dont know any printers which have the resolution to make it legible once printed. I mean, the wrap around details on the ends are cyberglyphics though

    When Captain Iacon throws his mighty shield,
    All Cons who chose to oppose his shield must yield.
    If he's led to a fight and a war is due,
    Then the red and the white and some silver'll come through.
