I got a request from a family member to make a Bulbasaur from concrete for their garden. I explained that I never did it and 3D-printing any kind of mold will be expensive and may result in many failures AND it will take a long time.  I think I will 3D-print a positive and use silicone for the mold. It'll make it easier to remove the mold from the hard concrete BUT to conserve the extremely expensive silicone I need to create a tightly fitting box that can be reused for the concrete pour.  I predict that there will be bubbles galore in both the silicone and the concrete. Nobody I know has a sufficiently large vacuum or pressure chamber for removing bubbles. I ain't gonna buy that. Gonna need to figure out what's the "real" size of Bulbasaur. The size entry in the pokedex seem to be quite off to what I see in screen shots of the anime. I think I'll stick to the smaller anime size."}
