Vanguard Replicas (previously Diagonally crafts) was started back in 2014 with my ex-partner Lisa, as a continuation of our amazing Harry Potter themed Halloween party which made the local newspaper. I've continued on my own since then and branched out towards other medieval and fantasy related topics. I've always had a love for anything fantasy or sci-fi. During the summer of 2017 I decided to fulfill a childhood dream of owning a real Hylian shield, what was initially a conversion of a pre-existing shield I now make all my shields and leather from scratch using the best quality materials. I am currently aiming towards creating shields from Zelda and other games that are as robust and realistic as possible.
