The more complex shield designs are probably somewhat fantastical - not because people in the Dark Ages couldn't decorate objects but rather because a shield was a strictly utilitarian and (to some extent) disposable item. Or so I've heard - but where's the fun in that?Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-71423863418319479532015-07-05T09:30:18.803+01:002015-07-05T09:30:18.803+01:00I suppose that craft-type hobbies lend themselves ...I suppose that craft-type hobbies lend themselves exceptionally well to the "little-and-often" approach, since we often need to let glue/filler/paint dry before moving on to the next stage.
