step by step how to build an impressive LARP halberd yourself!
From the first design sketch to choosing the right materials to
professional painting – here you'll learn everything you need for
perfect weapon crafting. We discuss the historical models of this
versatile polearm that was used against armored knights in the
late Middle Ages, and show you modern techniques using fiberglass
rods and closed-cell foam. Most importantly: Safety aspects and
LARP-suitable construction are always the priority. Plus, you'll
get pro tips for achieving an authentic metal look through
dry-brushing techniques and creative fantasy designs. Whether
historically oriented or fantasy style – in the end, you'll be
holding a weapon that's not only safe but also makes quite an
impression at the con. We'd love to hear your comments! #medieval
