Athena with her new WM158 D body

Good question! That little blue top I found is a close match to what original Lara wore but if you look at the more recent incarnations then she tends to wear green or khaki colours. I've just had a go at doing a 4 strand braid which is trickier than I'm used to, will post a couple more pics of the result.

Here's a few pics of my attempts at giving Athena a Lara Croft pony tail. We didn't quite pull it off today but I've learned how to do a 4 strand braid now thanks to YouTube, so I will have to get her a much longer extension piece to clip in as the one I used turned out to be a bit on the short side...

This is with a different wig but I wasn't so keen on the colour although it did give more length, that made Athena smile when I asked if she wanted more length, for a sweet gal, she has a dirty mind! ...

Nice braids man! I especially like the last one. And that blue does look good on her too!

Thanks avante, it's been fun doing this, I think I will try and take Athena out on location somewhere again to get some more interesting shots.

Athena looks very beautyful with that braid.

I need to learn how to do that on my timea, think it also look nice to her.....

Have a nice weekend.

Greetings DDM & TIMEA.

Athena looks as great as Ms Croft.
Are you preparing her for the photo chalenge Cat. D?

Athena looks beautiful in her braided hair and smile. So hard to keep our wigs pristine with the convertible, it reeks havoc on wigs even with caps or head scarfs. Ugh!!! The price to pay to be "seen"

Thanks guys, I did actually cheat a bit and got an extension hair piece that was already braided and it looked quite good actually but I only had 2 wigs which were a colour match and in the end went with a short bob that seemed to work ok but in my haste I messed up the braided extension and had to undo it all and rebraid it anyway! Now I know how to do the 4 strand braid I will do it again to get it a little neater but I'm pleased with her look so can't wait to take her out somewhere for a shoot, sadly I'm not aware of any hidden tombs around Ipswich! Tsall, I did notice the cat D photo comp but it's a composite challenge I think and I haven't got the first clue about using photo manipulation software! I'm not a great fan of doing stuff on my pc and tend to load it all up in Flickr and then pick through it.

Those are good photos Arthur1960.

I used to love playing Tomb Raider when I was a bit younger.
You'll have to find a way of making her climb a wall or climb the shed now and then rig a zip-wire for her to slide down.

Thanks djcdoll, I was actually thinking that maybe I can find some of that software that enables you to make a comic type thing with your photos, I could then do a little bit of what she finds once she located the secret entrance to the shed!

Good idea. I'm sure somebody will give you ideas/links/pointers to what resources you need to be able to do that.
There have been some good doll comics posted in the "Eye Candy" section so maybe that's a good place to start?

Athena the tomb raider has been busy exploring an old church this afternoon, no treasure discovered as yet though!...

Excellent photos Arthur1960, she really looks like Lara Croft.

Athena/Lara will have to find the entrance to the crypt, that's where the treasure will be.
She'll have to find the secret door or entrance first though and watch out for traps and baddies!!
