We r sinners, against God. We could not please Him, we could not fulfill His law, hence we were condemned to death. But God loves us so much that He sent His One and only Son to come to Earth, live a perfect life to later suffer and die on a cross. By doing so, Jesus Christ, payed off the debt which He didn't owe. He freely payed our debt, and fulfilled all righteousness Hence when we believe in Him and accept Him as Lord and saviour & repent from our wicked ways, God forgives us faithfully and the gift of the Spirit of Christ relates us intimately with God For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord

Hi, if you didn't want to go through the fuss of doing the fibreglass. Couldn't you just turn the actual dish into the shield? Great work by the way!😊

WOW!!! Now, you could make the captain america mask. I enjoyed this project!!! and it would be good that you made the mask for a complete costume :3

[@BrainfooTV]

I like my projects to be easy to replicate, and be worthwhile, i.e. quality end result. If I could find a good way of doing it I could do something like that in the future maybe. Stay tuned for my next video of me testing these shield to destruction ;-)

[@Eleven7D7s]

This tutorial is so well done!!!! Subbing

[@Fearghus]

I've been meaning to try my hand at a fiberglass project at some point... A Captain America shield seems like the perfect place to start :) Thanks for the tutorial! Can't seem to find a round satellite dish under $70 though :(

[@BrainfooTV]

+ShinyFearghus You will love it, it's great fun, and you end up with a full size shield too if you want it. I waited on ebay to find one that was near and not new, it was a bit of a faff but I got lucky in under 2 weeks. I've done some digging around on the internet and I have found the exact model I used, but brand new, and I have posted that link on the website page : www.brainfoo.com/projects/how-to-make-a-captain-america-shield/ but that's a UK link I'm afraid. I dont think you will get a truly round satellite dish, the closest I got was 84x85cm. Have you tried dish installers and aerial fitters or a scrap yard? What I will do from now on is every time someone finds a make or model of dish that works in their country, I'll post a link on the website to help out, that way the people making the shields can build their own support rather than having to dig through the comments here on KZbin. Let me know if you find something, and if you have a link to help others I will post it on the website.

[@Fearghus]

+BrainfooTV Oh I would definitely want the shield, haha. I'm a big Cap fan and have wanted a nice replica for a long time. Good ones sell for such high prices though. And while fibreglass isn't entirely cheap in itself... It's a heck of a lot cheaper than people sell shields for. Plus it gives me a nice fun project to work on :) Wow, you got one pretty darn close to perfect there. The closest ones I find are about 3-4 cm off, but that's still pretty good. At least to my eyes. I'll have to definitely keep an eye out for some time. There aren't many junkyards nearby, but I'll definitely keep an eye out on local selling sites. It's a bit painfull to see ebay.co.uk having really cheap options (around $10 like you showed, some even less), but for pick up only, haha. I've found some that are new (though much smaller than yours) for around $50 now. I may just give it a month or two of searching, and just go for that if I'm not lucky. For a reusable shield mold, I can justify that. Thank you! If I find a local dish that is on the cheaper side and close to perfect in dimensions, I'll let you know! :)

[@BrainfooTV]

+ShinyFearghus Yeah, I dont think you would notice it being 3-4 cm off round and you cut it round anyhow when the fibreglass is dry. It makes a change for ebay UK to have something cheaper than ebay.com, it comes down to luck at the end of the day I suppose. Mind you I was looking for a round satellite dish before some idiot recommend using them as a mould for shields ;-) Good luck, enjoy your project. the end result is worth the effort.

[@Fearghus]

+BrainfooTV Thank you, I look forward to making it :) Just out of curiousity. .Do you happen to know of any easy way one could add the grooves that separate the colours and star during the fibreglass process? Something that could be added to the mold? Or do you think something like that would need to be done after the glass dries?

[@BrainfooTV]

+ShinyFearghus I did think of adding a thin metal circular strip the the mould to create the indents, but for a one-off it would have not been worth while, and it would have left me stuck with one size option. I could have span the shield on a cake decorators spinning platform and ground into the face with something like a dremel with thin light passes. But again I wasn't that interested the replica thing, I wanted something you could knock up over a long weekend for fun. I dont mind putting development time into my projects, but I like the end result to be easy and repeatable. Its just what makes me happy at the end of the day.

+Shampoo Wow Thanks, appreciate it

[@RamenNoodleBudgets]

This is awesome! I made the sled tutorial :) I'm going to be making a DoJ Wonder Woman shield and this seems like it might work a lot better than the sleds!

[@BrainfooTV]

Thanks, loved your video BTW.

[@dakotaharvey213]

I found the sleds are pretty difficult to get completely round. Any tips?

[@BrainfooTV]

Yes, you need some 3"x2" timber and make a small square frame that supports the sled underneath it, then tape it to the frame with gaffa tape. When you sit it on a flat surface it will all hold sqaure. Because the sled is red and soaks up heat, make sure you lay the fibreglass on a cloudy day.

[@paulmcdonald6510]

Hi Brainfoo. Fantastic video and build! I'm currently attempting my own build, but with a few tweaks. I will mail you some pics and let you know how i get on if you like. Quick question though. The resin rollers you use to apply the resin, where on earth do you get them? Does it have to be specific resin rollers or would radiator rollers etc from B and Q do the job? Keep up the good work!

[@BrainfooTV]

If you live in the UK you can get 100mm resin rollers from the fibreglass suppliers or Toolstation. If you need help or want to send me some pics I'd love to see them, you can post them on my facebook page if you like.

[@michaelvel2191]

Hi. Do you have a link to where I can buy a satellite dish like that. Love the video btw and would love to try it 🙂

[@clydedelacruz4761]

cool keep it up

[@User-fp4gn]

i like your channel.another guy bought this shield 900$ and it was quite good but yours is of course cheaper i think you should use graphenium coating{ graphenium is a new quite expensive material thats harder than diamond }so ashield with coats of graphenium will get harder although yo need to see some tutorials in order to make it

[@AlexMyers69]

+BrainfooTV alright thanks

[@ADr-vh2cj]

Awesome!! I'll try it out.. By the way, what's the final weight of the shield? And what is it's diameter?

[@forge52100]

Cool, and effective against arrows and swords and knives, but I have to wonder how it'd hold up if made from kevlar? I know a sword would damage it, but original wooden shields took damage as well. I'm wondering how many layers of kevlar would it take to stop pistol rounds. Anyway, great build, it came out very nice and the paint job is spot on.

[@BrainfooTV]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for the MK3 maybe.

[@jordydezeeuw5780]

what else can you use if you don't have any fiberglas resin or pva release agent

[@BrainfooTV]

A hard wax polish may work as a release agent, fiberglass resin can be bought easily enough, it's the same as bondo resin used on cars.

[@LonelyBlackWolf96]

I have a couple of questions: 1-Why didn't you make both handles from leather? would that affect the hold? 2-Have you ever tried painting on the star? 3-Do you think that having an aluminium sheet as a base and coating it in 5 layers of fiberglass would be a better idea?

[@BrainfooTV]

1 - Yes it forces your knuckles into the rear of the shield (hurts) and it's hard to control. 2 - Yes, I did that on my prototype, it just didn't look as good. 3 - Maybe, but the increase in strength would be minimal and you would have to form the aluminum, a bit of a pain.

[@westiferkalson6123]

dear mr brainfoo i was trying to make one of the captain America sheilds i live in the states and the only ones i've found are oval and the flexible flyer sheild is not big enough so i was wondering if you could point me in the right direction to a good satalite dish and it is perfectly fine if i need to get one from the uk your's truly Westley K

[@BrainfooTV]

It's just a matter of searching for a 'round satellite dish' in ebay. None are truly round, but some are closer than others if you study the dimensions.

[@tresgutierrez131]

Hey man, did you ever find one? Im in the states as well, and I cant find one under 200 bucks :/

[@samanthawilson6588]

Tres Gutierrez in the process now... Use fiberglass cloth and resin from Lowe’s I found a tractor plow disc to mold it

[@tresgutierrez131]

I have looked for a while now, i cant find any that fit the requirements of using them for the shield build. I cant find one bigger than 24", and at that point i might as well use the flexible flyer to make the mold. Point me in the right direction lol i wanna start this project so bad

[@TheOdoyle72]

I am having the same problem. I thought about using plaster of Paris and making one like how Odin Makes did his wonder woman shield and then making my mold from there

[@oldheliotrope]

awsome

[@hisup4004]

Cool

[@taze-1106]

Do you have any other suggestions for the mould? I can’t find anything like what you’re suggesting

[@QuicksandDan]

Hey man, I really want to make the MK 1 sizes shield, but I CANNOT find a circular satellite dish anywhere. They’re all ovular. I wouldn’t mind using the metal sled but as a bigger guy I’d rather have the larger shield. Any ideas on something else I could use?

[@LeonLamothe]

how do you build the compass used to make the shield? do you buy it pre-made or do you build it yourself?

[@branderrp]

What did you use to store the consolidating roller to prevent it from sticking? Something like Acetone because I couldn't hear it in the video

[@BrainfooTV]

Yes it was Acetone, sorry I wasn't clear.

Big shout out to BrainfooTV for motivating me to take on this build. I decided to use epoxy fiberglass rather than poly because I'm used to it for repairing surfboards. Lots of mistakes and hiccups along the way but lots of fun as well. I'm almost finished the first shield and the next one I hope is perfect. Thanks Brainfoo for making this old kid really happy!

So I’d like to build the one from avengers endgame that’s broken in half. What equipment would I need to get through the shield itself and cut it

[@arfatbaig9425]

I made my captain america shield using blue duck tape! 😉

[@willlucas6918]

How much did it cost approximately to make one, excluding the mould?

[@BrainfooTV]

Probably around £50 although if you made it smaller and reduced the layers to 3 it would work out a bit cheaper. That's what I did for my latest design, which you can see tested to destruction some time in the next 3-4 weeks.

[@willlucas6918]

+BrainfooTV okay thank you and how much did it cost to make the mould?

[@JuanJuan-ux6lg]

I would make it a 40cm wide and only 2 or 3 layers to make it light and cheap

[@danielh8218]

I am going to make one but I want to cut grooves where they should be (between stripes, maybe for star) any suggestions how I could cut this safely without risking cutting through the fiberglass?

[@markdobson2225]

brilliant video m8 just wondering where i could get a used sat dish from ?? tryd ebay gumtree and other site but to no avail

[@BrainfooTV]

+Mark Dobson It comes down to pure luck I'm afraid, although since I have made this video there seems to be more demand for used satellite dishes LOL. I did manage to find the exact model I used in the video brand new for £30 and I have put that link on the website in case that helps.

[@CptBlaze87]

How much resin did you use to make the shield? i'm reading that you need about 2kg of resin for every square meter of 450g fiberglass. Is that accurate? Thanks.

[@BrainfooTV]

You can find the exact amount of fiberglass and resin I used on the website in the shield project.

[@oscarellis6519]

Another thing, I cannot find a consolidating roller like the one you used anywhere! And they are all really expensive as well, what should I do!
