1:1 SCALE! (http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/04/gundam-lantern-1-1-scale-lights-up-taiwan-lantern-festival/)

How the heck is that 1:1 scale? Aren't Gundam suits huge? Like Macross valkyries?

Anyway, when are you buying it? I know you will. You'd take out a loan to get this :twisted:

[Jing]

yeah gundams are as big as buildings

[supernatural]

humans are meant to fit into the gundam...

[Mike.V?!]

How the heck is that 1:1 scale? Aren't Gundam suits huge? Like Macross valkyries?

Yeah I didn't even think about it. It's probably closer to 1:4 or 1:5 I guess

[Mike.V?!]

Shit, the engadget photos are way deceiving. It's actually tiny!

Haha, well I figure it's about 5 foot tall. Not gonna complain about that!

[lovesil]

:D

[Wink]

Yeah, but does it come with an androgynous emo-kid pilot with optional whacky hairstyle?

[Stalemete]

a few places in akiba have the same model/same price tag but they were about as tall as me (6ft).
they looked more like a solid construction than piece together like this one.

epic none the less

[OVTEC]

AWESOME!

i want to see an evangelion one made :)

[Stalemete]

AWESOME!

i want to see an evangelion one made :)


also in akiba, was about 400000Y each

unit 01 - about 5ft high
pilots - about 4ft

1:1 SCALE!

http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/apu/rv_img/article_rv_adam_02_01.jpg

I've always wanted a 1:1 scale model of the Matrix APU ;)

No photoshop in that photo - as it says here ...

http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/apu/rv_cmp/article_rv_adam_02.html ...


Ultimately one full size, fully detailed articulated APU was constructed. It stood over 4 meters tall and weighed 3 tonnes.

It could be disassembled for transport and for achieving certain visual effects shots; for example, when the guns are firing the arms were removed so CG arms and guns could be added to the live action footage. A shaking mechanism added interactive arm and shoulder gun recoil movement.

A second “carriage” was built to fit a SFX supplied motion base for shots involving close ups of the actors operating the APU. The motion base was programmed to match animation of CG APUs. A second, but lighter urethane foam APU was built for scenes showing a downed and heavily damaged APU on set.

That looks a bit like the one in Robocop, except minus the guns and much more retarded...hehe

I just know the Japanese are obsessed with Mecha/suits etc. and are just waiting for the day that they perfect one and try and win back some of the lost war respect...

[TERRA Operative]

I will sell my soul for a wearable Eva unit suit.
