Nowadays only D2C sets would pretty much exclusively use baseplates but I thought it being used in a normal retail set like this would be a bit of a change of things (using a 16 x 32 baseplate).
The first base started was obviously the pyramid, as it’s an easy thing to make and there isn’t really much to do with it besides adding traps… which is exactly what I put in with the coffin on the side, along with a place that holds jewels and gold.
With the vehicle I picked to go along with this are a helicopter and halftrack.
Honestly I saw this as a chance to bring in a mistika wing with the Helicopter. Now it may be a bit bigger but the inside does have Panel for support.
With the halftrack I thought it would be a good idea to use the 2 seat vehicle base (30149) as part of it. Itt have a lot of those curved slopes with stud notch to make some detail. It able to hold up supplice of 2 3x4 crate, contain a laptop, 2 brush, 2 water bottle, a water container, etc.

We visited Jasper last year and were spared the worst of the forest fires. The Pyramid Lake area was absolutely gorgeous.
back in 2005 or 06..i was flown to texas and painted 100 girls in 2 days.....
always thought this was a nice shot..
The Louvre Pyramid (Pyramide du Louvre) is a large glass and metal pyramid, surrounded by three smaller pyramids, in the main courtyard (Cour Napoléon) of the Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre) in Paris. The large pyramid serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum. Completed in 1989,[1] it has become a landmark of the city of Paris.
I think this will take some 'splaining (as Ricky Ricardo might say it). The building at the bottom is a building at the bottom. With me so far? We're looking at it through a plastic pyramidal ceiling that's part of a walkway across the street. One can probably see the lines that make the triangle of the pyramid. So we see a reflection of the building on top. I don't really know how it works, but it did somehow!
Une soirée d’été au Louvre… Quand la pyramide de verre reflète les lumières dorées de Paris et se mêle à l’histoire intemporelle du musée. Une harmonie entre modernité et patrimoine, au cœur de la Ville Lumière.
Commissioned by the Pharaoh Sneferu, the bent pyramid was an example of the earlier attempts to build a freestanding pyramid.
After attempting to complete the pyramid at 54 degrees from the base, the builders had to correct the shape to 43 degrees to top off the pyramid.
This pyramid was largely regarded as a failure and Sneferu ended up commissioning the Red Pyramid shortly after.

I re-processed a picture that I had previously posted and I think I like this version better. Feel free to let me know which version you like better. The Luxor Hotel & Casino HDR. (Combination of 3 photos -2ev and +2ev used CS3)

Accessible only by a boat or hazardous swim, Pyramid Rock is a remnant of a lava flow resting on a basement of Woolamai Granite. At low tide there is an extensive area of granite exposed, the largest outcrop of this material outside Cape Woolamai. The basalt is surrounded by an apron of coarse scree and gravel beaches, the dark colour of this material contrasting with the lighter coloured granite. This is one of the few locations on Phillip Island where the lava flows are absent or very thin and represents a high point on the pre-volcanic land surface.
This is the best exposure of the base of the older volcanics on Phillip Island and a major example of the contact between the volcanics and the pre-volcanic land surface. The presence of inter-volcanic gravels indicates the Woolamai Granite was probably never completely covered by lava flows.
Yes, another holiday... ;-) But this time it was a real one, not just a 3-day break.

The Pyramid of Khafre is the second largest of the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of Giza and the tomb of the fourth-dynasty pharaoh Khafre (Chephren).
The pyramid has a base length of 215.25 m (706 ft) and originally rises to a height of 143.5 m (471 ft). The pyramid is made of limestone blocks (weighing more than 2 tons each).
The pyramid is built of horizontal courses. The stones used at the bottom are very large, but as the pyramid rises, the stones become smaller, becoming only 50 cm (20 in) thick at the apex. The courses are rough and irregular for the first half of its height but a narrow band of regular masonry is clear in the midsection of the pyramid. Casing stones cover the top third of the pyramid, but the pyramidion and part of the apex are missing.
The bottom course of casing stones was made out of pink granite but the remainder of the pyramid was cased in Torah Limestone. Close examination reveals that the corner edges of remaining casing stones are not completely straight, but are staggered by a few millimetres. One theory is that this is due to settling from seismic activity. An alternative theory postulates that the slope on the blocks cut to shape before being placed due to the limited working space towards the top of the pyramid.
The Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren) at Giza near Cairo, Egypt. The son of Khufu, Khafre's pyramid is slightly smaller than that of his father.
is the smallest of the three main Pyramids of Giza, located on the Giza Plateau in the southwestern outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. It is thought to have been built to serve as the tomb of the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Menkaure.
On our last evening in Jasper, the weather cleared so we went to Patricia and Pyramid Lakes for the sunset. There wasn't much colour but there were beautiful reflections.
La Transamerica Pyramid (ou Transamerica Tower), construite par William Pereira, est le plus haut gratte-ciel de San Francisco en Californie, c’est aussi l'un des symboles de la métropole, avec le Golden Gate Bridge. Avec une hauteur de 260 m (324 m en comptant l'antenne), il s'agit du plus grand bâtiment de San Francisco. Les travaux sont achevés au cours de l’été 1972 et c’est alors le plus haut bâtiment de l’Ouest des États-Unis. Toutefois, en 1974, l’Aon Center, à Los Angeles, le détrône. L’immeuble de bureaux répond aux normes parasismiques et a résisté au séisme de 1989. Aujourd’hui, le gratte-ciel n’est plus le siège de la Transamerica Corporation et abrite plus de cinquante entreprises employant 1 500 personnes.
The Transamerica Pyramid is the tallest skyscraper in the San Francisco skyline. The building no longer houses the headquarters of the Transamerica Corporation, who moved their U.S. headquarters to Baltimore, Maryland, but it is still associated with the company and is depicted in the company's logo. Designed by architect William Pereira and built by Hathaway Dinwiddie Construction Company, at 853 ft (260 m), on completion in 1972 it was the eighth tallest building in the world. (Wikipedia)
