Lara in the Lost Valley

[Fled74]

While exploring a lost temple in the Peruvian jungle, Lara Croft emerges on the far side to find a lush valley filled with distant unfamiliar sounds. She draws her pistols in readiness.

The jungle falls silent, then the crash of heavy footfalls and a low growl penetrate the stillness.

Lara finds meager cover just in time, but has she been scented by the beast?

sick dude, another reason why chicks should be limited in combat. Dogs can sniff them out.

Nice dio Fled.

Great Dio shots. Very believable and well shot.

 

[Fled74]

Thanks guys. Glad you like it.

Here are a few shots of the dio setup:

Completed in styrofoam with toothpick pegs and glue to hold things together.

Painted up with household latex paint and detailed with plaster rubble, plastic aquarium plants and model railway foliage.

Initial setup and lighting test.

Wider view of the dio setup. The ceiling is just a bit of brown cardboard and the side wall is painted MDF.

Full view of the setup on my crowded workbench, lit with a single desk lamp. I used a piece of white cardboard on the left side to reflect light back and provide softer fill lighting to the foreground.
