A foam monster hand for my LARP character. The character is based on the Warhammer universe and developed a mutation after getting too close to the Chaos Gods.
Building something for LARP means it doesn’t just need to look good and authentic; it also needs to be robust, dynamic, durable, and able to withstand various weather conditions. Since it needs to be comfortable enough to be worn for ten hours straight over several days, it should be water-resistant but also breathable—especially when walking across fields in 30°C heat. Most importantly, you should be able to fight with it.
After taking it to its first convention, I realized that the artificial blood made the material too stiff and the foam needed more support. Now I know exactly what to improve for the next iteration.
