Gear Workshop

We are holding a Workshop on Sunday 22nd, 10am till 4pm(ish)

The address is:

26 Malvern Road,
Morningside

The focus will be on building gear for Og and Mordavia.

We need to do some maintenance on existing gear (monster weapons), and also build some new gear (orc armour, tentacles, clubs for OG etc).

The workshop will run from 10am till around 4pm. It will be for CREW gear only. Sorry, no personal gear, but you can learn techniques which will help you make personal gear.

Please bring any source material donations, tools (e.g. sewing machines) and some money for a dietarily cognisant lunch (we’ll probably order in pizza).

Latexing Personal Weapons
There will be a separate session to be held at a later date where players may latex their weapons. Players will be able to leverage the NZ LARPS latex supply, avoiding the cost of building up sufficient latex to dip a sword etc.

There will be a fee charged per weapon used, based on the amount of latex consumed (we’ll assess the volume differential in the dipping container).

The fee is 4 times cost price of the latex. However, you may reduce this as follows:

  • Member of NZ LARPS = 3 times the cost of the latex
  • Attend the Gear Workshop for 3 hours or more = 3 times the cost of the latex
  • Achieve both of the above = Only 2 times the cost of the latex

I’ll also bring some stuff including corflue and ‘camping mat’ (actually from Aquatic Park) that I have gotten hold of for the asking.

Cool. What colour and density is that foam, Rhiannon? Softer or harder than camping mat?

Hi all,

We will at Mike’s tomorrow documenting the gear workshop - I have spoken to Mike and he is happy for me to film at his house again- We will be as unobtrusive as possible and will NOT film anyone who requests to not be filmed.
See you Sunday
