To mark the 30th anniversary of the Gundam robot anime series, an 18 meter Gundam model has just been erected in Odaiba, Tokyo.
Various Tokyo bloggers have started to put up images on the net. In most photos it is difficult to judge the actual scale of this bohemoth, but this one at punynari.wordpress.com gives you a good idea.

The robot will only be up for two months before being moved to an undisclosed location….
I wonder if the marketing people at DreamWorks are kicking themselves for not doing something similar for the latest Transformers

I took many pics of it and believe me it’s awesome.
It’s still under construction but it seems to be a great show when they finish it.
I think if you could take a similar shot to the one above which had both the feet in the frame and a either a clean blue sky or some interesting clouds it would be awesome.
It reminds me of the trailers for the new Star Trek where they are finishing the construction of the Enterprise.
Will the statue be lit up at night? Another fantastic photo opportunity.
