Looking totally AWESOME!!!!

She seems to fit everything into that pouch like it's a bag of holding.
Then again her backpack was the same way.

I have that same journal I bought as soon as the trailer came out.
I plan to add the embossed "C" and edge tooling to it then fill it with adventure goodness like the Uncharted journals.

 

[pinder91]

Whoa! Awesome work. Where'd you snag the journal from? I've been meaning to grab one.

 

[division 6]

Got mine at Barnes and Noble

 

[pinder91]

Awesome! I think I'm going to fill it with Lara's entries from the game, and have inserts of all the other entries she finds along the way.

 

[division 6]

That's my plan as well.
Might want to start a journal thread in the Paper Props section on it.

edit.
I started one.

I'd like to get a good look at that "C" cuz I want to do that too.

Then I was thinking of trying to get a transcript of all the journal entries she reads from her own journal and put them all in there

If you do, be sure to link me cuz I totally want to do that.

You are too awesome, Division 6

I posted a pic in the link.
You can see the "C" in the upper left corner.

 

[kristen jones]

hmmm... it's a fairly plain "C". I'd have expected something a bit more ornate. Ah well... it'll be easier or me to do

 

[Tapper]

With your super awesome skills, I really don't think a "C" will be any thing to worry about.

 

[kristen jones]

I'm thinking of using my soldering iron to burn in the "C". I did that to put the embossing pattern on the back of my Selene jacket a few years ago and it seemed to work ok.

Keep in mind that like in the very first version of Lara's background she turned her back on her upper class upbringing and worked low paying jobs to put herself through a city college, so nothing fancy for the Bookish Girl.

After all she's not that kind of Croft.

 

[kristen jones]

Hee Hee... good. Cuz I'm not so fancy myself.

Here are a few test shots of the outfit. It needs to be distressed still... but this is the first time that I've actually put it all on at once

You for sure wear it well-- Missed you at the studio!!!!

 

[kristen jones]

Here's a look at my progress in distressing the large grey pouch. there's a bit more to go (and it's actually quite a bit darker than it looks here) but here goes:

The left one is the distressed one, and for reference the right is one that I've only sprayed grey.

 

[Tapper]

The great thing about those pouches is wash them a couple of times and they fade nicely. I have a map case and a shoulder bag (think Indiana Jones size) and that same one. Tossed them in the washer after a week of "real" camping and they came out looking like years of use, but still holding together nicely.

 

[kristen jones]

Here's the evolution of a Quiver.



From Right to Left:

1. My Prototype
2. Build for the Tutorial (Now going to SaraCroft)
3,4,5. New builds using heavier canvas (going to JennCroft,Shona Heath and Lexi Forbes)

The new ones hold their shape much better, and I've added some 1/2" rope under the top lip to give the mouth it's own shape.

Now I've gotta dirty 'em up and put slings on 'em!

You are MACHINE! I'm continually blown away by your level of detail. Makes my brain hurt.

PS - Oh I don't run this show. It's a community thing. Besides, with the way you're going with all these posts, you're more likely to claim 'running the show'!

Nope... I'm just the prop girl.
