Reign the Night and resuscitate your companions with this glorious winged shield!

This PDF is a front-view diagram of the feathers on the Guardian's Shield, designed to help cosplayers get their work done faster, or to provide inspiration LARPers and costumers alike!

This pattern has no instruction booklet accompanying it, but is the 1.25m (1.36yd) length from the top of the shield to the bottom portrayed in the trailers and gameplay (and 0.51m width).

Please use the printed paper type most useful to you (e.g. Letter if you are from the USA, A4 if you are from Germany, A0 if you don't want to sticky-tape multiple pages together).

A0 can be printed at Staples on their largest format paper type - ask them to center the PDF on their paper and it will work just fine. 

All pages have a slight border to avoid details being lost in the printing process. The dotted line on the top and right sides of the pages should be cut to allow for easy overlapping of pages, then line up the diamonds around each page. 
Assemble with every row as a letter and every column as a number (A1, A2, A3 should sit directly above B1, B2, B3, for example).

It is recommended to rescale the pdf to change the size, and use 2+ layers of 10mm EVA Foam for the base, then cover the front of the shield with 2-5mm feathers displayed in the template provided.
Use contact cement with a respirator in a ventilated area to assemble the shield, then fill the gaps, close the foam with a heat gun, prime with wood glue mixed with water, and then paint your desired colours.

There is no design currently supplied for handles or straps inside of the shield (this tends to be up to the user, as everyone prefers a different way to rig their shield!)
