Ken Gordon sent me this quick and easy idea for making plastic shields...
Here is a pic of my hole punches with some samples; they really are very
useful. You can use a hammer with the punch to get a quick cut or rotate it
to saw through the plastic. By cutting the 'oval' out of the circle you get
a nice pelta. I've still yet to work out how to get a nice theuros / scutum
though.
The lid is from a 'pringles crisp box' or 'tuppaware' I don't know if these
translate. Its soft polythene like the figures but you can use the punch on
plasticard as well.
I must admit I've not tried it on cardboard or balsa but it might work.

Thanks Ken, that's a very clever idea you've got there.
