The 1:1 scale Gundam lantern |
Ó
It's definitely not the real thing, but don't deny that you wish you could build something this magnificent. Engadget reports that some folks in Jiayi, Taiwan made a life-sized version of the original RX-78 Gundam for their annual Lantern Festival.
This 1:1 scale model of the Gundam was put up as part of their annual festival to celebrate the coming of a new lunar year. In this case, while lanterns for their parade would normally have been made of animals, a competition was held this year. As you can see, the Gundam won out, though we definitely agree that it deserves the spotlight, so to speak, at least this one time.
For those who don't know what life-sized means in this context, Amuro Ray's RX-78-2 Gundam is approximately 18 meters tall. In other words, what you're looking at is one of the biggest lanterns ever created, and definitely one of the biggest Gundams ever recreated from reel to real.
