#larp #sworddesign #medieval In this episode, Hendrik and Carmen
show you everything about perfect LARP sword design! From
choosing the right materials to years of maintenance – here
you'll learn how to create realistic weapons that are both safe
and authentic. We go through the entire journey: EVA foam as the
heart of the sword, latex for the realistic look, and fiberglass
as a stable core. We explain why balance is so crucial and how
historical models can serve as inspiration. Whether DIY or
purchased – both approaches have their advantages, and we show
you the key safety aspects for any con inspection. Particularly
exciting: Carmen shares her experiences from years of LARP and
explains why a well-balanced sword makes the difference between a
prop and a true character companion. Plus: Maintenance tips that
will keep your sword perfect for years! We'd love to hear your
comments! #larpsword #diy #materials #safety #balance
