10-Foot Gundam Made Of Plastic Model Leftovers

What do you do with the runners—the leftover wires that hold together plastic model parts—when you are done building your tiny Gundams? Keep them until you have enough to build a giant 10-foot Gundam.

It took 250 man-hours to build this RX-78-2 Gundam. It’s not full scale, but it’s still quite impressive. [Goo via Technabob]

        There’s not much to ‘get’. Giant fighting robots are awesome in every language and at all ages.

    Wow
    I would have to say that is cooler than the actual figurines that they built from the wire frames.

    Technically they are plastic sprues, not wires.
