S and I went and saw 'Captain America: Civil War' together ages ago (pro tip: it freaking sucked!).
One of the scenes involved Rodgers and Bucky fighting in Berlin. We looked at each other, we were going to Berlin...
This was a sign!

| Dionysus: C'mon, it will be fricking sweet! |
So we needed a shield and an arm cover. I want to preface this by saying we WANTED it to look like a half-assed attempt. It's funner that way. So please don't think I suddenly got any worse at art.
It was also fun to just slap things together with little planning, it was a bit of a novelty to not think a great deal about the order of things.
For me, being Captain America, I started with the finest base for my shield...
I love how the Frisbee says "Sports fun". So generic!
I started by spray painting it with a white base then silver.
Like the butt that I am, I didn't photograph the silver part... damn past me!
Then let's just paint on the red where the red goes...
It was too smooth for the acrylic paint, so I did it in two coats. Easy. Could I scratched it up with sand paper? Yes, but this is a lazy project, remember!

| Resting on other art supplies. |
 |
| Damn it, you weren't meant to go on the inside! |
And a blue bit with a silver star...
I then felt I should varnish it, to protect it a little on it's journey to Berlin.
Orange felt for a handle:
Freaking done!
 |
| Why does my neck look so long? |
Now on to S's Bucky arm! The initial idea was just wrapping her arm in aluminium foil... but I thought I could surprise her!
So we start with silver long gloves.
Put the left aside and paint a red star on the right one.
Then cut the right one at the hand and it can be used to extend the left one up further!
 |
| You better ask me to dance, Rodgers! XD |
Verdict:
 |
| Bucky's wall eyes and Capt's mask added for privacy. |
S was embarrassed but played along.
The star started to come off the glove, so I glued it back on... and glued it to S's arm in the process.
We got it off within 25 minutes.
