Attempted rock.

Most people focus on swords, arrows, spears, shields, etc. I haven't seen very many rocks out there. I think if they're made and used properly they could be pretty devastating, since they cause immediate death with a successful hit. Anyway, I saw a package of foam balls at Wal-Mart for about $5 and I got excited, so I purchased them, then realized that rocks have to be 4" in diameter. The balls only have a 2" diameter. So I decided to use a bit of foam, DAP and tape to see if I could make a passable rock so my money wouldn't go to waste. Here's how it went:



I started by putting a ring of DAP around the foam ball, then putting some DAP on a strip of foam as long as the circumference of the ball [or at least close to it]. I also taped the ends of the strip together after putting it on the ball.



I then had to cut two shorter strips to place perpendicular to the first. Again I just used a little DAP and some tape.




After that I just added a third layer. I'm hoping the DAP and tape keep it together for a long time. I need to find a good way to cover it and hope it passes. I'll try to refine the method so the results are prettier and hopefully sturdier.

It seems to look okay. Its definitely a unique design. Post pics of it when its covered. ^.^

is the blue foam open cell? if im not mistaken all rocks must but only open cell.

and yes rocks are wonderful. i have three, and i've taken lives with them!

Rules just say must be only foam with as little tape as possible, and max of 1.5lbs

sweet! open cell rocks aren't so accurate lol

yeah, it's heard to get the weight up.
