Tomb Raider: Legend is my favourite in the Tomb Raider series. I think it has the tightest story and the most entertaining extras and side-missions. The standard costume isn't my top pic of hers, but as my first Lara costume to be worn to a con (gaming orientated GenCon, to be specific), I had to represent.

I think there's paint permanently stuck under my fingernails from all the weathering, sanding and remodeling of my props and pieces. The grapple is actually a light fixture, the grenades are annoyingly small (the larger the grenades, the smaller my butt looks) but thankfully the gaps were filled by the licensed Legend costume.

I'm currently building Excalibur and slimming down. Health issues lately = more weight. And the body is definitely half of this costume! One hour of body bronzer, tan powder and blush texturing is what it takes to remove the pale science nerd and reveal the tanned history nerd.

Three painted, weathered guns I picked up especially for Lara, also feature UV lights and sound effects. It's insanely amusing to slide the hand gun back and hear a 'CHK CHK'.

My biggest influence in Lara costuming is Corellian Dawn.
