I built these models a couple of months ago, but I've been dragging my
feet about getting pictures on the web. However, I brought them to
the BayLUG meeting this past weekend, and as a result pictures of them
have made it onto the club website. To see them, go to
http://www.baylug.org/
or if you just want to see the models, you can go to one of these:

These are life-size sculptures of Pikachu and Bulbasaur, two of the
most famous Pokemon. I know not everyone loves Pokemon, but my wife
and I enjoy it a lot. When I first came across Eric Harshbarger's
site, I felt motivated to try to make similar constructions, and the
first idea I had was to make Pikachu. But once I did that, he was
lonely, so I made Bulbasaur to go with him.
The colors are not quite the same as the "real" Pokemon - the stripes
on Pikachu's back should be brown, not black, and Bulbasaur should be
a lighter shade of blue. But I set a restriction on myself that I
would only use pieces from the 3033 blue tubs. I bought 12 of them,
and while I have a lot of the smaller bricks left over, I used almost
all of the larger ones of all colors (inside their bodies is a grid of
supporting structures, mostly 1x8's horizontally and 2x2's and 2x3's
vertically).
Check 'em out and let me know what you think. I have some photos of
the internals and from more angles that I need to scan and put on the
Web - sooner or later I'll get around to it.

| Not too badly done. But they seem to have come out quite blocky. I had no idea Bulbasur's body was that square. :-) Also, he should have a little red spot on the top of his flower. I'm also quite sure Pikachu's stripes on his back are the same color (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.build)

| Nice job on those sculptures...especially on Bulbasaur's head and eyes and also the bulb. Perhaps its body needs to be a bit bigger but I won't quibble. They are better than anything I've tried. How about trying Psyduck next 8). Keith Blumenthal (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.build)
