I used a metal button as a shield. A rubber band (official of course :-P) holds it in place.

The symbol of Flanders, the lion is on the button.

I like this Tanotrooper! What kind of button is it?

Looks awesome!

I would also be interested to know where you got that button.

And can you show how that is attached exactly to the minifig?

Very nice fig

Vlaanderen die Leeuw on!

You might want to make a rooster for the Walloons as well, otherwise people might blame you of seperatism in these dark times. 8-|

Nice shield btw

here are pics of how you can attach the shield:

wrap the rubber band (2*2) twice around the hand and 2-3 times behind it

my cat allows has to help me with pics X-D

Great idea for a shield *y* , it looks really good.

Oh and i often have my cats offering to help with pics X-D

:-D That's a smart solution which works well. *sweet*

How clever! I didn't see that coming when I read the thread title.

Very creative. :-)
