[Aztlan] feathered shields

[Greg Sandor]

Hi Allen,
I thought of your question about shields when I modeled these:

I think the result I came up  with works well, but somehow still seems a
little unstable in a fight.  I would want some kind of hand strap or maybe a
thumb loop to keep the shield from rocking around.


Regards,

Greg
