Default Scavenger Hunt: Need a big plastic saucer...
So I'm making some paper mache shields for my son and step-son to have Spartanesque fights to the death with in the living room. I'm using garbage can lids to reinforce, and that's pretty much the perfect size...

But now I'm wanting to get in on the action. I'm trying it with chickenwire stretched over a papasan to get a close enough shape , but I don't think that's going to be strong enough. I wanna be able to knock these little bastards on their ass.

I need a plastic frame, about 3", in a saucer shape. The only thing I've found so far is a large saucer sled, which is cool, but I don't wanna drop $50 on a sheet of plastic.

Any ideas on how to make a strong 3" paper mache Spartan shield?

Well, I supposed if I had the means to form it into a concave shape that would be perfect. Can't do it though..

I think you mean 3', not 3". 3" is 3 inches.

Bullshit. Take your chicken wire and press it into the Papasan chair. Take the fiberglass material and wrap the outside of the chicken wire. Paint the material with the resin. Let dry. Kick MFin ass.

Fiberglass material? I'm thinking sheets of rigid fiberglass...what am I missing?

Redneck ingenuity

Bondo with fiberglass matte would be easy to apply to the chicken wire. Get some at your local auto parts store.
