Really wanted to try a Nexo style shield as they're cheap and plentiful; very tricky to work around that stud though, would be easier just to make decals for the tiles that can fit there which is what I'll likely switch to, unless I can come up with a design or two that can fi with the stud.
Really like how well the raven turned out, already ordered some blank yellow torsos and am planning to make a squad to go with my existing Lego and Chinese Ravens.
