Tomb Raider II The Cradle of Life
FBFX contributed to both the costume and set construction departments on this movie. Various designs of African tribal jewellery which would have otherwise been impossible to acquire were produced and replicated in volume for the costume department. These delicate and detailed pieces of jewellery were in complete contrast to the unique revolving set which formed part of the films 'Cradle of Life' cave system. This massive set which was able to rotate through 360° had walls made from polystyrene which had to be coated to provide a fireproof, hard rock like surface which could be walked on. The best answer for this challenge was for FBFX to apply a class 1 fire retardant form of the polyurethane to the surface of the carved polystyrene, which meant that the entire Spray System rig had to be taken on set.
