Base Figure:Marvel Legends Storm, Dazzler, Elektra
Height:5.90 inches

I really liked the recipe gotmalik used to make their Lara Croft custom and wanted to make a new Lara custom inspired by her classic look, using the main elements of their recipe. This is a mishmash of lots of different parts: the upper torso is from Dazzler and sculpted over, the lower torso and upper thighs are from Storm, The arms are from Elektra, the lower thighs are from Silk, the calves and boots are from Nico Minoru, the hands are from Black Widow, the belt from a different Black Widow, and the head is from Captain Marvel, with the hair resculpted. Phew! I made a poseable ponytail from a twisty wire armature with ProCreate sculpted over it. The two pistols are from a Japanese model kit. The backpack is from a movie Lara Croft with added pleather straps. The straps over her thighs are made from craft pleather. Thanks for looking!

The sculpt's pretty decent and you made good use of parts, but the splotchy paint apps really bring the quality of the figure down. Her skin is rough and uneven, almost as if she has a skin disease.

Were your paints too thick when you applied them or were there bits of leftover sculpt stuck to her body before you painted?

In the future try giving the sculpt work a good sanding to smooth out the imperfections.

It's unusual to see these kind of flaws in the final product, especially compared to your previous works.

I had mixed a bad batch of skin tone-coloured paint, which turned out splotchy. I was rushing to finish this in time for my vacation. You'll notice that the photos taken against a white background, the paintwork looks better, because I had sanded and repainted the figure after I got home.

Amazing Lara Croft! What a clever recipe of mixing Storm, Dazzler and Elektra. Those first 2 photos are spectacular. Great work Jedd!

Thanks Ric! I have to give gotmalik credit for most of the recipe; I'm glad it all fits together! I took the first two photos during a recent vacation to Greece.

That's great, so you brought Lara along in your carry on luggage. She must have liked visiting all the scenic views.

Thanks Ric! I always try to bring at least a couple of figures along with me when I travel and I knew I had to take Lara and Wonder Woman to Greece!
