南流山--> (武蔵野線) -->西船橋--> (総武線) -->秋葉原--> (京浜東北線) -->浜松町--> (都バス虹01系統) --> 船の科学館Gundam is celebrate its 30th anniversary. And as part of the celebration, they went and built a 1:1 scale model of the original Gundam.
Somewhere near Newcastle in England, there is a statue called the Angel of the North. It look like a surfer with a longboard carried horizontally on his back, and with his arms being chew off by sharks off the coast of Australia. It stands at 20m. The Gundam stands at 18m, and stands guard near the Rainbow Bridge of Tokyo bay. And it looks more cool.
I reached few minutes before 9pm, and before I could take out my camera from its casing, they turned off the spotlight for the night. But at least in the dark, they could do a bit of a light show with the machine.
The atmosphere on the field was surprising harshed. Most approached the Gundam from afar with "Sugoi, sugoi", quicken their pace, race to front of the Gundam and then settle to admire it from a short distance. One young lady attempted to crack a joke: "Gundam, 28 sai, dokushin (Gundam, 28 years old, single)". I thought the guy is 30 this year, maybe she knows something I don't.
