Just saw your video. I'm so glad I am waiting for this beauty...
Really surprised by the quality of the paint, didn't expect that, but won't complain!
And now seeing the statue beside you, it's bigger than I thought. Won't complain about that neither, even if I have nowhere to display it, since it doesn't fit in a Besta....

On a side note, did you receive a new head for your WW?

I can't wait until tomorrow! Hope mine arrives safely.

The big question is, will this fit into a Besta shelf?
I have one coming soon and I have no idea where to put it!

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

I just received mine and she is beautiful. She does look smaller than 1/4 especially when placed next to SS Lara's. The seam at bottom of tree is a little noticeable but if you dress up the foliage at base of tree , the plants cover it up a bit. The details on everything are excellent. The only real critique that I have is that some of the plants do look a little to shiny and plasticky.

Nice set up Grayfox!!

My source for ordering her, are away until the 25th. So more than likely my shipment will come after that. Oh well. No rush for me though. Just as long she comes to me in one piece and with no issues

Thank you!
She is very well packed in a huge box. Kinda like a flatscreen TV box but thicker. The art box is also pretty cool with a magnetic flap that opens up to show and talk about the artist and Lara.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I wonder if part of that is due to the reboot Lara apparently being shorter than the original Lara. Although, someone calculated the Lara in this statue to be between 5'1" - 5'2", which would be about 4" shorter than the in-game model is supposed to be. She would've need a couple more cm to be 1:4, I think.

I love how Snake is almost unnoticeable behind his wall in that angle. Oh that's Snake alright.
