Leather Detail
Tooling and embossing veg tan leather allows us to keep leather details really crisp for projects. All leather detailed in this way are stained thoroughly and have a protective finish applied.
Fantasy Weapons
We make a huge amount of Fantasy Genre Latex Weapons as stock items for Gem’s Trading. Keeping the standards high, every weapon has internal reinforcement to ensure their durability and quality, which means you can use them with confidence. Our artists work their magic after the construction and visually bring them to life!
Latex Detail
We use a variety of techniques to achieve finishes to our latex items. Among them are standard techniques of freehand painting; dry brushing; stippling and templating. Other more specialised techniques include vinyl graphics; airbrushing; embossing and engraving. All latex work is applied by experienced, skilled artists.
Accuracy of Detail
Projects which come our way sometimes require us to be ultra-accurate. We’re able to make this possible by digitising graphics, templating and working from those templates, apply the interpretation to pieces. This is painstaking work, but is achievable by our artists .
Leathergoods
From Scabbards to Pouches (lots of pouches), Purses to Bags, Armour to Character Card holders, there a huge variety of different leathergoods we produce. We use 100% real, great quality leather, supplied to us by the most reliable Tannery in England. All are designed in-house by our artists and put together by hand.
Box             CLAWS
Named because these claws literally put a box around your hand to ensure you don’t ever physically make contact with your opponent with your fist, these claws have become well sought after by the Sci-fi LARP community. We make all the different types of claws, but these really stand out as one of our most cleverly designed, mean-looking bits of kit.
Materials
Through the years we have tried and tested materials from many different companies. We’ve found what we believe to be the most durable and reliable sources and won’t compromise on the quality of materials used in the things we make. This means that when you have an item from Hack and Slash, you can be assured that the very best materials have been used to make it.
Post Apoc.
Dirty weapons from a dystopian future, these rudimentarily fashioned tools, made from engineered pieces or scavenged parts, are awesome fun to put together. We’ve made things from old road signs, workshop tools, rubble and other delights, all made to look rusty, old and impractically practical. Â
