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).

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 uncomfortable about the size of Bulbasaur's body (the part
below the bulb).  I feel the Nintendo folks or whoever designed him
should have made the body smaller and the bulb larger.  But I think
the Lego model is pretty close.  The relative sizes of his body and
bulb seem to vary a lot on different cartoons, comic books, etc.

I've thought about doing Psyduck, but the trouble is, he's neither
yellow nor orange, but somewhere in between.  If I used yellow and
stood him next to Pikachu that just wouldn't do.  And Lego's orange is
too bright and dark - he'd look sunburnt.

What I'll probably do next is Squirtle or Charmander, if I continue
doing Pokemon models.

I'll vote fo a Charmander! (my favorite)

P.s. I like your bulbasaur a lot!
