What, I haven't reveiwed this yet?!? *Faints*
I should seriously slap myself with soggy chips for this! :p
Original:
Well as an update it's original. As far as meshes go, it's original. Textures are better and some are new, so fairly original there... I'll just skip to the part where I realise this is completly original.
Quality:
Simply put, Flawless (As always)! No glitches and nothing to downrate.
Useable:
This is highly useable as it can be used for both outfits and levels. It can work in classic TR or custom character based levels, too.
Custom textures:
By far it's quite an improvment. :) Mostly in the pistol, it's tons better than the ingame one used in TR4. Much like the inventory version. The main update is in meshes so I don't have as much to say here. I didn't rate this cause most of it is TR4 rather than custom. But everything that is custom is top notch.
Custom meshes:
The way the hands hold the weapons looks very realistic, even the hand holding the flare looks great! I thought that the regular hand (The one not holding any weapons) maybe has fingers on the slightly long side. Though, my own fingers are short so maybe that's what the usual person's hand looks like. I wouldn't know. :p But long is better than too short because on Lara too short would make her hand look chuby. Though that is only my opinion. The hand is well made, very realisticly shaped and a good size.
Something I never really have added to my outfits are the weapons. If custom hands are used then the blocky TR4 hands can't be used. So then ya have to make the hands hold on to the weapons correctly, then importing back into stripx and retexture it. Ah yes, then the fun part, remaping. I'm afriad I never had the guts to make such ajustments, I've always left the guns alone.
So I for one am very glad these have been made, as it is a pain to make all of the weapons as perfect as this. ;)
Thank you for making them! :D

Woooooh!!! I got a review! Yeeeeaaah!! lol, sorry for that, but I never thought this would get another review! It was difficult to create the hands, but since mine are fairly long and overall very natural, I modelled them after mine. Heh, a guy's fingers on a female model... I'm hoping to see some more outfits using these hands, maybe even the ones in the Back to Basics outfit. These will work together no matter which ones you use for each weapon, as long as the outfit's hands are correctly remapped (see the Readme). That means you'll only have to remap two meshes instead of... quite a few, and these are the least confusing as well. :D
