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).

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.

(...) Thanks! The bulb was very tricky - it's 6-lobed (though I had a hard time telling from the cartoon whether it's supposed to have 5 or 6 lobes, and took the easier choice). It used up almost all the green from 10 3033 tubs. I am also (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.build)
