Title: Dervish Shields
Post by: gunnermax2 on December 24, 2009, 01:21:49 AM

Hi, does anyone know where I can get hold of some Dervish/Fuzzy Wuzzy circular shields (or something suitable) in 25-28mm? , had a think but kind of stumped, many thanks in advance.

Essex Miniatures do them, I'm sure, although I can't see them in their catalogue online - but they definitely make separate (and very nice) Dervish and Fuzzy shields, because I have some of them!

Worth giving them a ring and asking.

If you are really stuck, and plan to use them solely for your own use (ie not sell them), you could always "cast" your own using green stuff.

A "Lord of the Rings" tutorial here:

shows you the method.

A fairly quick, cheap and easy process  :D
