Gundam Project

ike gundamu!

at least the leg finished !!

dateline is in July? can't wait to see it done ^^

Ore wa Gandamu~!

The upper body and head will be the most difficult piece to finish...

Can't wait

i'm getting anxious about this! hehehehe. i'm excited. XD

i sooo want it for my home O_O

That's awesome 0.0 why can't we do things like that here in Australia? T.T

i bet it will go save the world after the 2 months of exhibition ^^

I fear that they will take it down after two months to prevent it from falling down on it's own eventually due to lack of rust protection. They likely saved a lot of money if they didn't build it to last forever.

Wow, that is awesome, I see some of the arms being built.
Most of it is hidden behind the fencing >_<

Who knows they might working on the botton bit of the torso too :P

looks amazing, certainly different from the usual 'modern art' type statues etc. I bet it'll just be a limited time thing and after that it'll be taken down and never to be seen again.

Well at least it's going to have lots of detail, just look at the amount on the legs. I wish I could be there to see it completed. That is going to be so freaking cool!

In before building 1/1 scale Gundam become the new arms race.

Can't wait until America, Europe and China announces that they will also build a real life size Gundam.

Its looking good on its way...

They are really coming along quickly.

cant wait to see the finished gundam ^0^

I remember when I told my sister that they were making this she totally flipped.

It's a giant Gunpla. It's a shame, all that work and only up for two months.

wow, they work so fast...
here it takes the government 2 years to fix and repave a 5km stretch of highway.

At least its getting there ^^;

That is soooo cool!

am contemplating about going to Japan on August just to see this. ^^

I will definitely go there when they finish the construction.

Looking good so far, can't wait to see it completed.

Building this must be so much fun

It will be the GOD of all statues in WORLD HISTORY .

Otaku will spread into World History , one day.

(　ﾟ∀ﾟ)彡 RX78!! RX78!!
Would love to see it. Now we need a 2D figure with the size of a 1/1 gundam after this.

Don't know why, but it's thigh remind me of Exia's.

This will become a very very awesome statue. There will be lights on its eyes and shoulders, and smoke effects from the chest vents too. There are probably more decals on the statue than on an MG Ver. Ka model (awesome). I heard the new HGUC Gundam 30th Anniversary Version may be based off this design, but too bad it's not gonna come with a gigantic decal sheet to plaster its body with. :P

Looks like it is coming along and it looks really good. I really want to see it in person. It sucks that it is only going to be up for about 2 months.

no doubt next biggest tourist attraction this will be.

Wow very nice idea !!

zOMG!

bit-by-bit...beauty is starting to form <3

that is so awesome, I want to go to Japan even more now.
the down side is, that it probably won't happen in het next... about 7 year.
finising middle/high school, studie and get a job. than you need to save a lot of money up, so I would bij 25 when I can go...:'(

please make lots of picture's when it is finished!

if this doesnt give japan the olympics in 2016, i dont know what will.
if they do, then they should make it move for the actual openning ceremony.

So beautiful...giant robo legs :D

Nice work! Can see the detail from far. Thanks punynari for the pics!

some pros need a few hours to build a decent MG 1/100 gundam.

and some another pros need a few months to build a decent 1/1 gundam. hmmm....

That puts a giant smile on my face. It looks like a Gundam not just something trying to look like it. Good work Bandai! Can't wait to see the finished and functioning product (via youtube or photos).

i say it pawns the statue of liberty. would it be a landmark of japan as eiffel tower is to paris? very possible.

Looks neat! I can't believe I didn't visit this when I was in Japan last week

Cool!!
Looks like its gonna be nice when its done!

I'm guessing they're working on the crotch now? x]
Can't wait to see this completed~!

Real-size gundam o.o?? Not a gundam fan myself but always have found gundam quite amazing as a technical gear. Would love to ride in a gundam just for the heck of it! I wonder whether they would put a control room for you to go and see the world from the pilot's point of view? I will definitely go and see it when I visit Japan in July ^^.

glad i'll be there in august :D

Another must-visit-place when I go Japan. It looks real @_@!!! Will they surprise us by making the eyes shine or something?

RX-78@@ my fav gundam all time apart from hi-nu, i'm coming to japan next year just to seee it!!!

Wow, looks amazing! Nice details, those marks, texts, etc.

Holy smokes, they're really paying attention to details. It looks like it's going to be well articulated, even though it really isn't (except for the head).

Wish i could go...but school is still around...and the price of going there is kinda...expensive...

I want one!

This is gonna be epic as a 1/1 life size gunpla will be an awesome attraction to the tourist and for Gundam Fans.

RX-78,Ikuzeeee!!!!

definately going to see this in august!

I just wondering... how much it costs to build this Gundam?

AMAZING!! Its only a matter of time before we all have mobile suits instead of cars.

Oh Mai! I love Odaiba, went there on the last day of my Japan trip :D Wish I could have seen this.

It's going to be beautiful. Must visit!

1/1 Gurren Lagann next ..please^^

That is too funny. Love the update.

Darn, this looks great! It would be so nice if I could be there in Tokyo to see it when finished.

I'd totally come to a meetup / go-see! ;)

It's only gonna be up for 2 months? Seems like a waste. And this seems like the perfect practice to make the body of real mechas o_O.

Well, I'm most certainly turned on... O.O Those are some nice legs! I wish I could go see it, but I can barely afford a drive down the street right now. ^^;

Holy crap, this thing looks so awesome. It's a lot more detailed than I thought it was going to be.

haha one step closer to "Project Aurura" ;D I wonder how it handles rain? This thing is gonna look awesome when built, and even better in the air ^^ ..... *cough*

In before Gundam hijacking by some unknown teenager :'D

Nice, I think they should keep it in Japan as a tourist attraction. Maybe built some more 1/1 scale Gundam/Zaku with a "real" cockpit so they can charge us an arm and a leg for entrance fee to the cockpit.

That's quite a project.

Too bad I won't be able to visit Japan in the summer like I always wanted...Still can't wait for the finish

That looks awesome. I want one!

Oh man I can't wait to see it when it's done XD

This will be awesome when the gundam is competed.

Alas, I will be leaving Japan just before this opens to the general public. I guess it will be pretty close to completion though, so I will have to head there to take a look.

-Sim

OMG wow, that actually looks mint!
I mean I thought it was gonna be great but that just looks like kinda anime and real lol.
Love the 'warning' decal stickers on it so ^^ Like a giant gunpla.
Hope you go take some more photos of it when it is done!!

Now that's just rediculusly awsome

Amazing! The detail is really superb! Can't wait to see when finished.

They work quick on the legs...if they have a cockpit I'd pay to just sit in there for a while to kinda live a fantasy...

oh my good lord

just build a functional one already

doesn't have to be that big, a knightmare would do it too =P

Whoa that is looking awesome. Can't wait to see it finished, hopefully can see it in person.

I'd love to be able to see all the fine details, like it looks like they have maintenance instructions printed around various service ports on the legs or something like that. I can't wait to see this thing finished.

Only in Japan. Makes my 1/144 Gundams look like junk =(

Nice progress

It would be AWESOME if everyone thought this was only a replica, but then when it was completed....it turned out to be REAL!!! ZOMG!!!

wataqushi wa GUNDAM!!!!!!!!1111111111
T__T
damn..why do i not live in Japan :((

This is sweet but why is it that they are going to take it down after a couple of months? Make one that will last a very long time as a monument.

those are some sexy legs

Now, if only the completed model has a working cockpit as well, haha.

hot damn! that 1/1 scale gundam looks amazing!

Holy S^*&!!! That is 1 hell of a Gundam Statue!!! I hope they make a real powered gundam and make it go to space so that they can make colonies already and live there hahaha!!! If that thing has a AI on it I will hack it from my computer so that I can control that thing and use it to control the world hahaha!!!

Hmm... at first I thought it be big and blocky, but with those details its starting to look real good.

Can't WAIT FOR THIS TO BE DONE!!! its going to be EPIC!! =3

I seriously wish i had that thing in my backyard O.O

must resist obvious giant crotch joke... must resist.....

Thats looking pretty damn EPIC!! already. Like "Michael Bay tiger explosions!" kind of epic

This is looking really cool already, I can't wait until it's done.

no one sees the 2016 tokyo olympics poster?

Meetup definitely! For those than can, that is, since I'll be at summer school.

But I'm sure it'll be fun to read about though :D

Oh my God! I want to see that! It looks awesome already!

This looks awesome, it's going to have lights and steam vents.

Even though I'm not a Gundam fan, I must say this is COOL.

great! now all they need to do is create the minovsky craft system! lol.

Mid July deadline. I should be getting to Japan in late July, hopefully I'll be able to see this in person.

Awesome - After the first time I saw this I went to find more info and we will b in Japan when it is due to finish. If you have a Danny Choo met up we are so there... I just hope the dates all matchup!

Thanks for post this Danny I am really excited!

Danny! we'll be there from 7th July - 20th July! We'd love to have a DannyChoo.com meet up at the big Gundam! It looks incredible - they're doing a great job, huh?

I hope I can get a ticket to Tokyo late July or August...just to see this!

I would give anything to see it in person! it has panel lines for crying out loud! Can't wait to see giant Gundam-kun when its finished.

can't wait to see the finished product! =D

That is amazing! Someone has to post picture's of it when its done!

*imagines a 1/1 fully functional WZC on his backyard...*

@_@

*sigh*... i wish i would have the means and monies to be there when RX-78 is completed XD

AHHHHHH so jealous of all the people who can go there to see the finished product in July. I have to prepare for my final year exams by then.

Can't wait till it's complete.

Supposed to be completed in July, eh? Just in time for my trip!

Wow! too bad it's not a real machine robot, I wanna see it actually move and accidentally stepping on people or whatever it's on its way.

I also hope this will end up somewhere permanently; I'd love to see it someday. It would make a great tourist attraction. It definitely beats all of the usual giant roadside attractions you see.

omg! nice details!

That looks awesome, too bad that i dont have time in July, so i hope they keep it there for a while.

dannychoo.com meetup idea is great.

Will it be able to fly?

This can be Japan's statue of Liberty. LOL.

Such a pity it's not going to be permanent :O

It'd be great if the Gundam is allowed to be a national monument of Japan. It might even be a candidate for Seven Wonders of the World :P

Ultra perfect grade model i must say~~ xD

i can't wait to see the completed gundam statue

wowowow! this is awesome!! another thing that makes me wanna go japan even more!

Looking great!

Maybe 2months later it will be auctioned off & move to the bidder resident so he can enjoy the look of his yard with RX-78 parked in the middle~~~~~~

I can't wait to see what this looks like when it's completed. What a great idea ^____^

Dannychoo.com meetup eh? Hope I could make it ^^;

Who's gonna be the pilot ?

Never thought i was going to look as cool as that, all the warning signs are the business.

Odaiba? Isn't that the same place as the meitantei conan town is?

I smell a conan vs gundam movie coming!

Wish i can bee there and see it went it's finish~~~~~ really cool~~~~

hmm.....will like to see when the vulcan cannons are installed....i wonder if it gonna carry a beam rifle....that would be cool

作ろうと思えば本当にガンダムが作れるんだ。
あとは操縦できれば！

Dude how I would like to see it once it's completed... But visiting Japan twice a year is a little bit expensive especially when it's only 2-3 month back that you have been there the last time -_-''

i want to join the dannychoo.com field trip there..
it must be fun..
Mr.DC maybe u can sponsor some t-shirt(actually i like your t-shirt that you wear in image26326(a week in tokyo 38) hahahahahaha.., we will wearing same t-shirt in our group to the trip..
or maybe everybody will be wearing trooper outfit..
and attack the Gundam..

Wow, that looks so cool!

this gundam is gonna look awesome when is done, wonder who the pilot is gonna be lol

cool

すごい！ I would like to ride--err, see this in person! ^_^;

Judge from the leg, it looks like base on Katoki's RX-78-2 design.

it coming along nicely ^__^

agreee---! we should do a meet up there! XD
that looks so awesome...
will definitely do a short trip to tokyo this summer to see this gundam and the big spider in yokohama.

gorgeous!
can't wait to see the full form!

that thing is gonna be huge i would be suprized if a gundam convention was held around the thing.

love it! they should put one here, jsut to be safe ;)

hope it doesn't get taken down, would be a tourist attraction for years to come

It's a shame that it's only going to be up for a couple of months? Is it due to money spent building it, and money for upkeep? I agree they should make this a monument of some kind.

What better way to show Japan's military might, than to build a Gundam?

That is looking SO kool!! I so wish I could go see it...

I knew the day will come!!!

IT IS GREAT!
many small marker on it an it look so real!
Can't wait to see it finish

I can't wait till it finishes.

Haha~~ I wanna visit that someday... GUNDAM!!
Maybe that is really a REAL gundam... when Japan is in crisis it moves!!!

Woah this is just awesome, thanks for the update. Waiting for more photos impatiently.

I can't wait to see real Gundam beeing made. Functional I mean.

agree to plan a meeting and go together. ^^

I've figured out why it's only going to be up for two months. It's actually fully functional and the two months is just to satisfy Gundam and military otaku before it gets pressed into service.

Thats just about the coolest thing I have ever seen!
