I made one of cardboard (3 layers, pretty strong) and about 5 layers of duct tape. I also made a little combat vest to use with it, using the same methods (CB and Duct Tape). It even comes with a holster! Unfortunately, it doesn't stand up to well against a baseball bat...
Sorry about the quality, these are taken with a piece of crap Xbox LIVE vision camera (NOO Idea what happened to the digital camera).
This is both, fun to just run around in.
This is just the shield, you can see the bat damage a bit here. You can't see it in this pic, but there is a sheet of plexiglas running down the inside, keeps it bulletproof.
And now the vest. Pretty simple, only took about 90 mins to make. Has a pretty well universal holster in it, and a pocket for dead rags or whatever you feel like putting in there.
I used these once just as a distraction/lure, and it worked pretty well. Since my gun lacks in range, I need to get close, and this worked to divert their attention for those few vital seconds to get off a couple shots.
