Mantlets are large shields used as a portable shelter from arrows and bullets.

In Medieval warfare...a mantlet could be mounted on a wheeled carriage and protected one or several soldiers.

Bearybones had posted some photos of some mantlets for archers he had bought...

I thought it might be fun to make one...
