Huge Gundam

Happy Moe Day! Today is (un)officially Moe day. Its the 10th of October in Japan today which is written as "十月十日" and when those compound characters are put together you get " 萌" - no I didnt make this up - have a peek for yerself ^^;
Anyway...
For Gundams that you can actually own, I didnt think they came larger than the HY2M...
Some folks decided to take this paper kit of Gundam and enlarge the parts sixteen times to create one huge RX78. Doesnt quite look 1/1 scale - maybe its 1/2?
Have a look at the source of these pics to see more assembly and final shots of this 'model'. They mention that it was built for an autumn festival competition and all that remains now is the head as they threw away the rest! They should have auctioned off the body - Im sure somebody would have bought it. Probably would look great outside yer house. Even without the head, you could have it posed in the headless-gundam-shooting-upwards-at-Zeong ^^;
Thanks to ellcy90 for the great find.
