A fantasy shield that expands to protect people from harm, whether real or imaginary. Designed for Sandra, This shows her gift to help and protect people.

 Delta is a fantasy shield that expands to protect people.The shield was designed as a superhero prop for Sandra, a woman who runs a soup kitchen to care for and protect people. Sandra runs a soup kitchen in East Boston. She does this to care for and protect people who have been abandoned or who are homeless. Inspired by a scissor lift, the shield can hang compactly on a hook attached to a belt, and expands when the user pulls on it. It does this by having pivot points to move freely. Sandra said about how she gets stronger over time and took that idea to make a shape out of triangles that form a shield. 

1. First, make the shape on the second slide. The reason I chose this shape is that this way the belt will be able to go in easily.

2. Next, extrude the sketch so that the belt will have something to go into. Don't forget to leave a hole for the screw.

3. Make a sketch of the rectangular hole. Don't forget to measure the width and thickness of your belt and use those measurements.

3. Afterward, cut the rectangular hole. 

4. Last, of all fillet the edges so that you won't cut yourself while wearing this.
