I'm another one that doesn't get them either. They don't really appeal to me, especially when they have so many outrageous extras added to them, but I can truly appreciate a very well made model... even a well made Gundam model! Awesome workmanship always thrills me!

Think of a Gundam as a manned powered fighting suit. But on a large scale. A human operator sits inside and controls them, and they have various weapons and capabilities.

In Yokohama, there has even been a 60 foot tall statue built that has some limited limb movement.

That is cool! I don't know the storyline but I loved playing Mech Warrior back in the day

That would be pretty close to the real life size.

The top half is completed.

Very cool Mike!

Oh yeah. I also remember watching Pacific Rim. Now that was a good movie. I just look at some of the Gundams with all the excessive wings and attachments and just can't fathom them. This one in the pic has a Pacific Rim kinda thing going on.

John, I still play Battletech these days. We even ran a canpaign where our lances became more experienced with each battle and we could salvage and/or buy new 'Mechs to increase the size of out lances. What a blast!

The main Gundam is completed. Still only halfway there. Next up are the wings, guns, and other parts.

That's looking really good

Thanks Floki!
