All supplies below are made with latex for an outside coating and (except for the masks) use an expanding open cell foam filling. The final product is treated with a clear, flexible sealant. I have used these items personally for over two years (Except the Club) and THEN took these photos. Okey, I touched up the Skull just a bit. :P

Use the current prices to estimate the cost of a personal item. Note that items that require a mold (such as the Skull or the Masks) will have an additional 'start up' cost to sculpt the protype and cast the mold - usually between $50-75.

All weapons below have at minimum 2" of open cell foam compression on the "thrusting tip" and on the butt of the weapon. And every weapon has been passed by multiple NERO chapters (both Alliance and International).

NERO owners! I will be willing to cut down the pricing (up to 75%) on some items in exchange for gobbies. Contact me to negotiate things and see how cheap we can go. Hey, my primary character is Nigel Peaks - a Gypsy trader who always is willin' to deal. ;)

Thrown Weapons

These thrown weapons are roughly 3-4" in diameter, filled with open cell foam. All are very safe like nerf, fly nice and make good contact for the target to feel. The stones are rough hewn and can come in just about any color. The Skull also can come in any color, but usually Black or White is wanted. I also have a throwing Acorn but couldn't find one for a photo. Each throwing weapon costs $10 a piece or 5 for $45.

Staff and Maces

Lovely wood grain painting along with real leather accents. The Staff pictured above is only 2' in length. Anything longer and I usually don't add the 'wrap' of leather as it will slide too much. The mace has a dry brush design to make the head look metallic. This weapon I only recommend to people who are 'careful'. If the blow slides along the target (slap your hand and then drag it slightly - that is the blow I am talking about) it could tear the balls apart. I can create a tube mace - where there is a 'pipe' around the upper part with studs on it - that won't tear but as no one has ordered one yet... ;) The Club was made this way on purpose as per the buyer's request. Normally I would have made it less jagged and more tapered overall but eh, the customer is always right. The Staff costs $50, the Mace $75 and the Club $60.

Staff Heads

The staff heads below are added to my 6' staves. Each staff is wood grain finished and cut to buyer's length (nothing over 7' please). For $60, you get a 6' staff, bamboo core, capped at both ends with the leather cap. For an additional $20, the staff can be capped with the Imp's head pictured above. The head can be dry brushed either gold or silver. Oh, and runes can be 'carved' into the staff for and additional $5. More if you want real runes that say something. :)

Drow Weaponry

Drow Axe	Drow War Staff	Drow War Staff	Drow Glaive	Drow Glaive	Drow Glaive

I have been recently making some stuff for a dark elf character of mine and thought I'd put up my work.

Drow Axe - A 3' shaft, one foot long by 9" deep blade, all made out of close cell foam (camping pad). Latex and other coating as the above weapons. The cost for the Axe would be $55, with an additional $10 for the web design (it is a mess and a hassle but adds a nice touch).

Drow War Staff -I took a five and a half foot staff and did some 'rough cutting' to get a more primative look to the staff itself. I then capped both ends with skulls and created raised webbing for a foot and a half. The center 3 feet is bare except for the spider relief in the center. This staff, because of the work involved, will go for about $130.

Drow Glaive - The personal favorite weapon of my dark elf character. This weapon is roughly overall 5' with a 2' blade. The 'blade guard' is crafted as a small spider web and the shaft has carved into it a dual web pattern. The end is capped in a skull. The blade is made up of three layers of camping mattress and has a spandex cover - as this is the only way I can make a blade that will pass other LARP inspections. This would be about $80 to make.

Dwarven Weapons

Here's a photo of some custom Dwarven items I made for someone in Conneticut.

Masks

Orc	Kobold	Demon	Lizard Man	Troll

Just a few masks that I have made for my own game. They are designed with the LARPing NPC in mind. Light, wide eye holes and plenty of mouth room to breathe, speak and eat. Each mask comes with an elastic band to hold it to the head. Used in conjunction with a hood, these are really great masks. They go for $20 a piece or six for $100. The exception is the Lizard Man - that goes for $35 a piece or 5 for $150. The masks can be painted any two tone color you'd like. On a side note, the Demon mask was designed so that Light Stick could be cut and poured between the horns, and the dribbling fluid would stay out of the eyes and mouth.

Minotaur Horns

Another commissioned piece from a NERO player back east. He wanted a set of bull-type horns for his character. They are made from latex and high density foam. The horns themselves are flexible so they won't hurt anyone if they accidentially jab them and yet rigid enough so they aren't flopping all over the place. When used in conjunction with a head band, they remain pretty secure. There are ways to make them even moreso and will be happy to discuss it with anyone. The horns go for $30 a pair or 4 sets for $100.

Oh, I also make small elf ears for $5 a pair. They can come in fleshtone or black. This picture is basically what they look like on a person.
