This Instructables teaches you how to make a nifty round Captain America shield out of a barbecue grill (ironically, the grill is probably made in China!).

I was just telling my barber that I wanted a Captain America shield but didn't know where to get one
Problem solved - thanks!
The role is still technically up for grabs since Cap got killed ("killed?") earlier this year. Better act quick, though, since a new Cap with a crappy costume is coming down the pike.
Cap's shield needs to be smooth. Maybe a small saucer-type sled?
God love comic book geeks!
Pretending is fun.
Why carry a shield that puts you in danger of being drawn by Rob Liefeld?
Why NOT carry a shield that puts you in danger of having been created by Jack Kirby??
Besides, if you want inexplicably boob-like pecs, tiny, indistinct feet and about 70 teeth, Liefeld's your man. Personally, I'd rather take The King or, barring that, Ron Garney.
