Is this your first mod? Pretty damn awesome for your first mod! The shield too "iron-ish", too heavy to use. I know modding is about taste and i like reaslism, I would remove the sipek (WTF did I typed, spikes sorry ) and remake the structure to something like This
Any motivation to do Tower shields, like the greatshields in Dark Souls? I'm not entirely confident in my ability to 3d model, having never heard of Blender...lol.
I've never played Dark Souls, but I'll take a look at them and maybe have a go making them Can't promise they'd be any good though, as I'm only a beginner at 3D modelling and texturing

The grimmy and worn look of the iron looks great and the wood texture also! Keep going, you have talent sir!
