You Can Make A Captain America Shield

What if you could be a superhero? Which one would you be? Would you want superpowers or superhuman strength? Would you want The Flashโ€™s speed? Batmanโ€™s gadgets? How about Captain Americaโ€™s shield?

I grew up reading comics, and still read them. Marvel, DC, and various graphic novels, I love them all. I have dreamed of having superpowers since I was a kid, and if could have had my very own Captain America shield, that would be have been a dream come true. That can be your childhood-dream-turned-reality now! All you need are some supplies such as a saucer sled, some metallic paint and primer, leather pelts, magnets, super glue and an assortment of tools, nails, nuts and bolts. The sled is made of plastic, but itโ€™s not typical plastic: itโ€™s smooth like metal and more durable. As if this project couldnโ€™t be any more amazing in itself, youโ€™ll be attaching the handles of the shield magnetically, which will allow you to convert them into shoulder straps so you can wear it on your back too!

Iโ€™m beginning to think I may need to start acquiring the pieces to make this my reality. I may even have to watch Captain America: The Winter Soldier again. While wearing this shield. Now if only I could make some retractable adamantium claws or an invisible jet.
