Hack and Slash

The esteemed Simon Medlock, distinguished Barney Barnes and myself (Kev) had the privilege of working on this rather awesome looking film! I've just seen the trailer and wanted to share it with you 😁
The bits we worked on aren't featured in this trailer, so we're looking forward to seeing them in the film itself.
Very cool! 😁

For the tenacious 11-year-old Robin (Ewart) and her loyal band of friends ‘The Hoods’, the patch of overgrown scrubland at the end of their cul-de-sac is a m...

Just wanted to show you a pic of this finished, gorgeous Warpick that was sold from Gem's Trading, at the first Empire event.
The spikes were perfectly cut, if we do say so ourselves 😄

Here's one from the recent batch, all completed and ready for sale at Gem's Trading this coming weekend at Curious Pastimes 😁

We're at Empire ATM under the Gem's Trading banner. Almost finished setting up, just some minor shuffling and getting stuff out of boxes.
Please come see us and have a peruse 😁

We've made a load of leather bound bottles which have turned out awesome 😁 these will be available at Gem's Trading at mainline events 😁

Sneaky peek 😁

Bit of a genre change again 😄 I quite like this one 😁

Lots of exciting latexing being done in the workshop at the moment! We thought we'd share some pics to wet your appetite 😁

Leaf blades constructed and ready for latex 😄

Butterbee's new belt is complete! All because I picked up a fab new buckle from Max Kane (he was next door to us at Gem's at Larpcon) (We're a sucker for gubbins) and a new belt had to be made in the style of said new belt buckle 😆

Bit of a change in making genre again today as I wanted to share a personal project for my trading character at Orion’s Sphere, basically because it’s cool and I’m excited lol.
I got some leggys at Larpcon from Max Kane with the intention of losing the New Rocks from Tubbs’s kit and instead, upgrading the shin coverage.
Here’s what I did and the process of how I did it using my trusty, now much cleaner airbrush (thanks Harms).
First was the unseen prep of keying up the surface so the paint would take to them better.
Lastly, the feature of the post apoc washing basket in the impromptu photo sesh (thanks Gem x)
Hope you all enjoyed😁 - Kev

We've just finished making some gorgeous premium character card holders for sale at events through, Gem's Trading!
These are real embossed and antiqued leather, which have been lovingly hand stitched.

26/03/2024

Today's offering is a really sweet war-hook! We were asked to do some classic Hack and Slash designs alongside some of the newer designs we've been producing. So we cracked out the very old template and produced another one, but using some newer techniques.
This is a frightening looking prop, and is used in much the same way as an axe, but if in doubt, just turn it around.
We're really looking forward to latexing this one as that's when the design really comes to life 😁

Here at Hack and Slash we don’t just make latex weapons, we also do a lot of leatherwork too, which can usually be found at GemsTrading at events and down the caves at Labyrinthe.
These are ‘power Counters’ which are a collaborative effort between ourselves and Gem’s Trading to be an option for people who prefer not to use spell rips and instead prefer a more environmentally friendly option for counting their spells and ability points.
We’ve been busy making them for when things properly kick off events wise and now have a good selection of these wrist mounted counters which can be found at Gem’s.

On the subject of sci-fi, here's a tech-mace we've just finished the construction of. This is a wicked bit of kit even if we do say so ourselves! 😆

19/03/2024

Small update on the Butterbee kit. Gold was added! 😁 Just antiquing, staining on the inner sides, edging and top coating to do now 😁

18/03/2024

We've made a couple of sci-fi daggers today. More techy-goodness in the lineup too! 😁
