In an effort to drive myself insane, I’ve been recently attempting to create armorial achievements made entirely with real-life objects.  This has been a lot trickier than I thought it would be, and in retrospect I ought to have given up long ago.

But before I do that, here are the shields for myself and the spouse.

I don’t know Mark the shield shape is nice and if ‘burned’ a little round the edges to give it an appearance of depth and shape would be quite nice. I think the problem is getting the quality of the charges to meet the shield.

Don’t give up yet I think it is worth sticking at it.

Being an old school photoshopper this really appeals to me.  The hardest thing I am up against is a lack of source material.

Well… a cross cottised just isn’t something that normally qualifies as "real" but this is what I cam up with…

That’s pretty close to convincing.
