Christmas Special pt.2 - Christmas Mario


Mario is the main character and protagonist of the long-running and highly successful Mario franchise. He was created by Japanese video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto and also serves as the main mascot of Nintendo. Mario made his first appearance as the protagonist of the arcade game Donkey Kong, released in 1981. Since Super Mario Bros., his trademark abilities have been his jumping and stomping powers, with which he defeats most of his enemies; and his ability to gain powers with a plethora of items, such as the Super Mushroom, Fire Flower and the Super Star. Games have usually portrayed Mario as a silent character without a distinct personality (Fortune Street is a notable exception). According to Nintendo's philosophy, this allows Mario to fit in many different genres and roles. In most games, he is the hero that goes on an adventure to save Princess Peach from Bowser, but he has been shown doing many other activities besides adventuring, such as racing and sporting with his younger twin brother and others.

Pikachu (Pelipper Costume) (Pokemon)


Pikachu is a short, chubby rodent Pokémon. It is covered in yellow fur with two horizontal brown stripes on its back. It has a small mouth, long, pointed ears with black tips, brown eyes, and two red circles on its cheeks. There are pouches inside its cheeks where it stores electricity. It has short forearms with five fingers on each paw, and its feet each have three toes. At the base of its lightning bolt-shaped tail is patch of brown fur at the base. A female will have a V-shaped notch at the end of its tail, which looks like the top of a heart. It is classified as a quadruped, but it has been known to stand and walk on its hind legs.

Life-Size Lara Croft (v1.5)


Lara Croft is an English archeologist and the main protagonist in the 2013 series reboot, Tomb Raider. Fresh from academy and in search of lost relics, a 21-year-old Lara Croft journeys to an island off the coast of Japan aboard the Endurance, a salvage vessel helmed by Captain Conrad Roth. 

About the Model :

Build order : Head,hair,ponytail,neck,necklace,torso,legs,feet, USMC belt, quiver and arrows, holster and belt, rope, walkie talkie, pouches, arms, climbing axe, pistol and finish with the rope.
Notes: I suggest you make a lot of pillars for supporting her, i had 10 in each foot, one in each shoe, one large one inside the torso. The height is calculated with the bow on her back, so without the bow she is supposed to be about 20cm shorter, but my build came out a bit shorter and darker, so that's not the model itself, but the printer. Be careful when gluing the feet and legs together, and gluing the feet in a bad angle results in Lara being unstable. The hair is single sided so you can leave it white, or you could simply print brown or black to the back sides of the sheets, but that is a LOT of ink, so mine is single sided.

UPDATE: I've had a few complaints that the template is too dark. I've updated the textures on the pdo, they should be much brighter now. Enjoy!
