Carl,
I think the shield work you did looks great from the pics and I personally could not see (in the pics as posted) what the 'centre boss problem' was? Maybe it's the angle as seen?
Irrespective, I would bet my last £ that the blokes who post painted heraldry (yourself included) on this site do shield artwork to a far higher standard that the local artisan or peasant did back in ancient or medieval times even when working on a 1/1 scale item. I rather suspect they were not all 'Renaissance Masters' as we like to think they were when we beat ourselves up over our own efforts in 54 or 90mm!
Cheers Carl and once again, it looked great. I do hope you have not painted over it.

Try not to knock yourself out to much on this mate , if you look at pictures, sculpting or any art work from this period artist were pretty naive they had very little idea of prospective, scale, shading or highlighting and the colours wern't as viberant as todays .
By the way the pattern appers on quite a few tombs through out Europe , so I think your OK with that .

Shield painting in those times! probably applied with a whitewash brush,
but the modeling fraternity has taken it to a mini art form and if you don't do the same you could get crucified.
The shield looks very good Carl

I was reading old HMM a few weeks ago. This pattern was paint on a mounted knight with a blue shield. I can't remember the name of the knight at the base but it was definetly used.
Just paint blue into the squares.
