PROJECT DETAIL
Unofficially known as the biggest LEGO Pikachu ever built, it has been featured in diverse media.
First I built Charmander in a small scale as a test case. It turned out nicely so the next logical step was a supersized Pikachu. I created a larger than life brick sculpture of the world famous Pokémon.
Pikachu stands on top of a pedestal with Pokeball mosaic. On both front and back of the pedestal my clients' logo is depicted with an outset brick font effect.
Pikachu ' s tail was undoubtedly the biggest challenge. I opted to build a 2D tail 3 studs wide, but reinforced with a lot of Technic Liftarms, in the middle stud row. The tail alone weighs almost 2 kg and is held by a few yellow technic axles in a cross-shaped technic bricks. The lower tail is clickable with hinges. There was some concern whether gravity would get the best of this hanging structure, but luckily it held.
Game Mania ( number 1 videogames shop in Belgium and Holland ). With the kind permission of Nintendo Benelux, it premiered in the Antwerp franchise store, Dec 19 - Jan 19, 2016. Later on it was sold of for charity for 3500 euro.
