Probably the coolest thing you’ll see on the web today right here. Sorry to apoil the internet for you the rest of the day, but this is just too cool:

In honor of Gundam’s 30th Anniversary, they’ve built a life size model. Unfortunately, this means a war between Earth and the Space Colonies is bound to happen soon, so any teenagers out there in Tokyo should get ready to stumble upon this behemoth and have some natural intuition on how to use it. Everyone else, just drool at the awesome, and click through the link above for more pictures of this bad boy.

You did not disappoint that was too cool for school.
I wonder if anyone has that article on the Japanese Military research on producing a functional Gundam.
Edit here is the link for the 1/1 functional Gundam translated. Here : http://www.pinktentacle.com/2008/01/725000000-gundam/
