Dfenz Posted June 24, 2014 At a recent brick.ie event one of our members (JanetvanD) produced her first MOC for us and wow, what a debut. Its a painstaking recreation of the Lost Valley scene from the Tomb Raider computer game complete with Lara Croft, raptor, T-Rex and medi-packs. It has the look of a lost Aztec city in the midst of a jungle.

ManInATopHat Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Damn, the jungle foliage and swamp water are insane, and the temple is marvellous! The bridge, dinosaurs, and sign are also great. Another great find. Edited June 24, 2014 by ManInATopHat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eurotrash Posted June 24, 2014 Great rock work and a suitably ruined Temple. It looks awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteFang Posted June 24, 2014 The landscaping is massively huge and lots of jungle setting as well! Very nicely done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godtshep Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Love the landscaping. Also the T-Rex is fantastic. Great job! Well done for using the Dagobah Luke torso for LC as well! Edited June 24, 2014 by Godtshep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Csacsa234 Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Beautiful landscape, the ruined building is very well done. And I really like the big brick built logo. The only missing thing is Lara. Edited June 24, 2014 by Csacsa234 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dfenz Posted June 24, 2014 The only missing thing is Lara. She's there ... beside the red Raptor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted June 24, 2014 Epic stuff! Way to go on the first build front! Now you have to get her to come join EB! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoMathijs Posted June 24, 2014 Great job! Remember this game from my childhood:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Csacsa234 Posted June 25, 2014 She's there ... beside the red Raptor. Thanks, I didn't notice her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady K Posted June 25, 2014 Epic stuff! Way to go on the first build front! Now you have to get her to come join EB! I agree! Get her to EB! I absolutely love the rock, stone work, vegetation, ruined temple....this is truly an amazing first build. I have tried to get a moss stone path to work using those lime green pieces and have failed. She pulled the colors together perfectly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Wow. This is absolutely insanely massive and detailed and impressive. Those dinosaurs, the T-Rex in particular, might be imposing, what with the nicely evocative use of parts, but they pale in comparison to the environment and it's sheer detail. I love the way the ground was made; it looks really beautiful and rather natural too. The ruined bridge is a nice touch and is pretty great for the way it's relatively simple parts are used.

Gabe Posted June 27, 2014 First Moc, wowzers, are you serious?? This is awesome - everything is great (including the sign, so cool), but i love those dinos in particular! I can't honestly remember being so blown away by a someone's first posted moc since Mike Doyle. Has she been building for long? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dfenz Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Janet vanD's Tombraider was her first MOC at an event. She'd only discovered us a few months previously and was not aware that other Irish AFOls existed. We did persuade her to upload pictures of a Victorian house which she'd done previously (sadly it was dismantled to recycle parts). Despite the risk of going off topic here is the link to the incredible Victorian House which also blew us away. http://postimg.org/gallery/w1jisek/ She had one other previous model, a country house hotel and we managed to obtain a picture of that (also dismantled) model. More information on that model can be obtained over at brick.ie if anyone is interested. http://www.brick.ie/...try-house-hotel Neither building was ever publicly displayed.

The Victorian house is very cool - both a well thought out structure and highly detailed too. With each successive moc i can see her improving more and more - she's scary good! I am very interested to see what she decides to build next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
