You'd have to resize the shield on the model in 3d Max.

If you have 3d max, yeh, fairly simple.

Yes you need to edit the Cas files, you could probably get away with just the highest one and see if it's noticeable in game. You also need to download the import export tool here, to get the unit into Max and out again.

Make a copy of the original first.

Once you've done that and imported a unit into max, select the shield, then go to the scale tool at the top of the screen, scale the shield and export it back out. simple.
