The Plight of Mountain-Dwelling Explorers

Anyone who's played a Tomb Raider game recognized the sound of a boulder chasing after them and knows that fast thinking is the only thing to save you now. Not only do these boulder crush you if you get anywhere near them, but they roll considerably faster than you do. Luckily, this boulder isn't going anywhere.

In Tomb Raider 2, Lara pilots a plane in an escape from Marco Bartolli's offshore oil rig to the mountains of Tibet, where her aircraft experiences engine failure and crashes in the mountains. Ever the action hero, Lara grabs a parachute and yanks herself out of the plane before it detonates, leaving her stranded in the mountains. Lara's trek leads her through the mountains, and one step closer to stopping Bartolli and getting the Dagger of Xian.

In fulfilling my obligated "at least one Lara per month" quota, I decided to make a diorama. I always liked this level of Tomb Raider 2, and thought that the boulder and spike traps combined would add a needed sense of excitement. Note that the model is pretty small and is really not for beginners :( If people have problems, I'll resize it for everyone, but note that it is doable!

And now for something completely different.

Gaining Perspective

So this small poster update serves two purposes; 1- It's a fantastic opportunity to use my public blog to show off something that the public has no interest in :) 2- Give everyone a hint to the project I'm finishing, which considerably more people are interested in. Should be up in a day or two!

Red Raptor

Now that Ninjatoes has released his T-rex model, I can can release my red Raptor model from Tomb Raider 3! (It made sense to relase them in tandem:)

Lara first encountered the raptors in Peru in Tomb Raider 1. After venturing into the Lost Vally, Lara was surrounded by Velociraptors, soon followed by a T-rex



In Tomb Raider 3, Lara again encounters the deadly dinosaurs in the South Pacific, hunting the mercenaries around a plane crash.

Triangle of Light

Here's another quick model while I continue work on my next project (which is red and sharp :): The Triangle of Light from the first Tomb Raider movie. After finding a mysterious ticking clock hidden in her house by her late father, Lara is sped into a race against the Illuminati cult to retrieve the two halves of the Triangle of Light, which is rumored to have been forged thousands of years ago from a meteor that struck earth and gave it's wielder untold power.



It's a fairly simply model and shouldn't take long. Enjoy!

The Last Piece of the Puzzle

I have finished the mural! Now that I'm done with that (done in a sense, I'm not done making my posters :), I can get back on track with the papercraft projects in my WIP folder, which, might I add, literally has over 100 files in it :D. I'm working on quite a few Lara's, as well as another special model. I've also recently come into some nice Metroid Prime models and do believe I'll work on making some of those in papercraft as well. More soon!
