Alternative title: I went to Drachenfest 2024 and only got a little heat stroke
Ooh, what camp were you in?
We actually get bonked over the head if we don’t wear a silly hat, and it’s not for immersion, it’s actually just about heatstroke. We are also not allowed to decline water if we fight in the final battle.
My garb wasn’t close to finished at the time, she looks a lot different now.
My dark fantasy Viking character is taking shape
I figured if I share my stuff here I might as well show a few things.
I made everything except for the collar (which I had to buy for the faction I’m in; the embroidery also isn’t done yet), and the shoes of course.
I am also working of arm and leg guards as well as fur shoulders, and I am still working on getting the hair right. 😅
That looks awesome!!! Good job costume crafting!
Extra thoughts time:
At 1st glance I thought the faction insignia was a Water Tribe thing - like this character was from an ATLA AU where water bender groups took to the seas & regularily did raids & pirating (legit, that would be a FORCE to reckon with. The seas & coasts would never be safe nor free to travel again).
Thank you so much! It’s for ConQuest of Mythodea, a German LARP with about 10‘000 people. I only started LARP last year (Drachenfest), and I thought it would be nice to join tad an NPC.
The faction I am part of are called the Skargen, a fictionalised version of the vikings. The warriors that fight in Mythodea are actually called the flood born. 😃 We are organised in ships, and are very much the terror that attacks from the sea!! I am so happy that you picked up on that!
The Skargen have their own entire culture, including tribes, a pantheon of gods, and our own magic based on the fog that surrounds Rhinland, our home in the north. We also have our own rune script.
Our faction has a lot of international players, especially from Scandinavia, so all communication is done in both German and English.

LARP shield diy
I went to my first big LARP last summer, namely Drachenfest. While I had gone to a few tavern evenings, I had never really played a full consistent character, so it was a pretty big thing for me.
Beforehand, I prepared a number of things and also tried my hand at building weapons and a shield for the first time.
This was the result.
Below are a few pictures of the process.
I used a hard foam sheet as a core and bolted a piece of a wooden rod to the back as a handle. I used a hollowed out half of a softball as a boss. It was attached to a Plastazote mat. To secure the screws and edges of the core, I used a fibreglass fabric that was soaked in latex. I used a contact glue called Kövulfix, which is intended for use on leather. It deals well with the porous foam and has excellent properties if you want to sand edges for example.
I designed a pattern on paper and after adding the Plastazote to the other side, I mapped out the pattern to make adjustments.
Because I am not particularly good at drawing, I transferred a real wood texture to the surface in order to instead carve the texture into the foam.
I mainly just added the most prominent features of the pattern and freestyles the rest. I used wood carving tools and my trusted Dremel for this. 😊
After that, I added the rest of the embellishments. Which was a pain. (Although I am currently working on a shield that will have almost 150 individual foam rivets on it, so I guess it’s all relative. 😅)
I used different coloured primer for the wood and metal parts. As you can see I take masking off very seriously. I decided flex paints to avoid latex deterioration, which can be a big problem in LARP.
Because I carved the texture into the foam, I was able to paint the wood mostly by dry brushing, and only adding a few details with the brush.
I have to admit I am really pleased with the result, especially for my first time (although I am aware of a number of aesthetic flaws). 😁
