Another set of boffer-latex LARP weapons I've made.

A 1h axe and hammer. They are both weighted at the handles for near perfect balance, although they don't do much for reach. They are covered in tight cloth, which is painted with latex. pure latex becomes transparent when dry, so paints dissolved into the latex show through perfectly, even metallic paints. the texture is easily made via a sponge.

A fun challenge I had was figuring out how to 'sheathe' these weapons. I developed a simple hook-system that so far has only failed... when I was recording video for this. They have never failed in action. Also works wonders for hanging my camera on when I run around - and my horn!

Good times. (less info)
