Green Tokyo Gundam Project (Finished)

Here is some follow up to my previous post about a life size Gundam being built in Japan, as the project looks finished.

"Starting this July, the statue will be available for free public viewing for two months at the Shiokaze Park on Tokyo's artificial Odaiba island. The theme of the three-phase Mobile Suit Gundam 30th Anniversary Project is "Always Beginning." The life-size Gundam represents the "Real G" phase of the project, while this August's Gundam Big Expo convention represents the "Feel G" phase. "Soul G" will be a collaborative music event planned for the Gundam franchise this year." - Anime News Network

So it appears in Japan, a giant life size Gundam is being built. From the information I gathered, it is being built as a memorial of sorts and will be finished in time for a 30 year anniversary Gundam exhibition. Either way I think the fact a life size Gundam is being built is pretty awesome!
