| Tomb raider was one of the first games I really got into, I used to play it on my old family PC but thankfully it moved onto console making it easier to play (for me anyway lol) Lara is one of my favourite characters of all time and such a fantastic female lead, proving that girls can kick ass!

Nearing the final showdown! (Posted 20th October 2011) These past few days I've been sewing like a demon and am finally nearing completion of this costume. However i don't have many full days left to work propery so this will end up being a race to the finish as usual haha I finally found some swivel/trigger clips for the holsters to attach to the belt; they were soo difficult to find but ebay saved me! |

Time to get kitted out (Posted 4th October 2011) First off, this costume was not as 'simple' as i originally thought, although lara's outfit is more or less two simple garments; getting hold of accurate looking garments like these was not easy. However I'm finally getting things together, I started out looking for boots online but wasn't happy with what i could find so settled for a pair i already own, along with some long white socks. So far so good, but now it'll be onto the accessories, of which one I'm having commissioned; the belt buckle! as I fail with making such things in a short amount of time. I'm looking forward to getting hold of some pistols though, which i'm obivously going to buy and modify (wouldn't know where to start on making guns haha) Can't believe expo is the end of this month! Time catches up way to fast for my liking! |

Thanks ever so much everyone <3 I've got some room for improvement even though you'd think this would be a simple costume...its not! lol
@Ranma1-2: I sooo wish it was all my own hair haha unfortunately I had a clip in extension, its funny as it didn't look a very good colour match to my own hair in reality haha
Clip on extensions ftw..somehow the colour match looks great in the pics. ^^
