No, Pikachu's stripes (as well as the base of his tail) are brown.  I should
know, as I had been researching pictures of Pikachu for the last couple of
days to do my own version of the sculpture that I would've started this
weekend, had I not seen this instead.  Seeing someone else tackle the
subject  you were about to deal with really knocks the wind out of your
sails.  Maybe I should do it anyway and see how it stacks up.

By the way, pretty good job on your first sculptures, Bill.

(...) I'm sorry to hear that. Don't let me stop you though. I picked a fairly easy posture for him - try making a sculpture of Pikachu in a more difficult pose, or something. (...) Thanks! --Bill. (25 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.build)

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 (...) (25 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.build)
