...is a resin kit of Lara Croft. The base figure is good, but was kitted out to resemble Angelina Jolie's take on the character. Not bad, but I wanted to do a version more like the in-game character. So, I've removed a LOT of detail, including the torso t-shirt detailing, in favor of the one piece leotard type thing that Lara wears in the game. Aaaaaaaand there's one other MAJOR modification.... ...the pic below shows the torso with the t-shirt detailing removed, and with Angelina sized breasts. Which, personally, I quite like in terms of size and shape....*ahem* but I digress. In order to bring the sculpt more in line with the look of the game character, they needed enhancement. Especially if I want to have her look like Adam Hughes take on Lara: and: SO... with the help of Aves apoxiesculpt, I managed to do this: Yeah, I know, they're BIG; but the difference in color between the apoxie and the white resin kinda makes 'em look bigger than they are and in any case, remember what the game ads originally said about Lara? "Sometimes, a killer body is not enough..." So, she has got to look downright prodigious in the breast dept. You'll see I also added the borders of her leotard thing, around her hip area. I'm currently working on addtional detailing to her socks (added ribbing texture to tops), her face (removed sculpted eyebrows, repaired lips, reshaped nose, and jawline) and hands (replaced with CY girl hands), as well as other assorted areas....and will add some sculpted hair to her head to make her look a little more disheveled. whaddaya think? ;D

Fun project and great looking results thus far Roy. What really impresses me here is the material of her shirt between her breasts, looks just as it should the way it clings then stretches across. Not an easy effect to capture in 3D I'm sure. I actually have a Jolie TR custom WIP based on an 8" Mego, hope to return to her very soon. Can't wait to see more here. Will

Thanks, guys! Heh, yeah, I thought Jason would be fond of this one . Glad you like it too, Les ;D. As for the scale, she's 1/6, so she's on par with the 12" CY girls. Which is great, because it allows me to switch out the hands. The kit is from Jimmy Flintstone, btw, so if you want one, Les, you could track one down from his website, I think. And keen eye ya got there, Will; the stretched fabric effect across the breasts was a detail that all too often gets left out, but is one I didn't want to miss. You can't quite see it from these photos, but I've also sculpted them so the "spill" over just a bit along the edge of the leotard. When she's finished, she'll be standing on a base made to look like the inside of a ruined temple, with a rock slab partially open behind her, and a skeleton with glowing eyes (gonna use some leds) clawing its way out from behind the half open slab. Got the image in my head; now I just gotta bring it into reality. Glad you like the work so far, though, and thanks for the comments!
