And.. The Gundam is ready. Sorta.

Just weeks ago I posted the awesome gundam legs, and yes, the entire gundam is almost done. It has a movable head and 50 lights on it! All that is left now is for the mist emitting from it? 18m tall gundam is awesome. I want to see it too! ><

1/1 Scale Gundam

The statue marks the 30th anniversary of the first anime series in the Mobile Suit Gundam space war anime franchise.

The statue will be officially on display for two months starting on July 11. It is built with fiberglass-reinforced plastic over a steel frame so it can be disassembled later. In addition to the 50 lights and moving head unit, the statue will feature mist-emitting devices on 14 points on the body.

The Gundam is being completed at Tokyo’s artificial Odaiba island.
