Aug 31 201010-Foot Gundam Made Entirely Out Of Those Little Plastic Model Piece Hanger Thingies

Lookin' good, Gundam. Especially considering you were made entirely out of trash. Haha, your parents lied to you! Now kill them.
It took over 250 man-hours to build the RG (Recycle Grade) RX-78-2 Gundam, which measures in at nearly 10-feet tall. Of course, it was built almost entirely from the spare plastic runners and part trees from smaller Gundam model kits.
I can't stand those little plastic hangers. And not just because it requires an X-acto knife to carefully extract the pieces you need, but it does and I've stabbed myself in the crotch more than once. "Uh, GW -- maybe you shouldn't hold the pieces in your lap while you're cutting". OH SURE, EVERYONE'S A MODEL MASTER NOW.
Hit the jump for three more shots of the impressiveness.

totally awesome dudes.

@7 I'm pretty sure the Gundam came first. Gundam itself dates back to what, the late seventies? I could be wrong but I think 1979 was when the first Gundam series came out and the first Transformers series I believe was 1984. Again, I could be wrong.
The Gundam series is usually awesome simply because it usually mirrors modern politics and ethical/moral issues. Also, who doesn't want a huge freakin Gundam?
The real question is, which Gundam was the best? I think its a huge toss up between Setsuna's 00 Gundam, and maybe Kira's Strike Freedom. I'm leaning towards Celestial Being though..

@ 10 and 15
Thank you! With GW, it's understandable, but Dude made a 10-foot Gundam out of them, and he doesn't know what they're called? Nerd fail.
18. Shelbon - September 1, 2010 12:27 PM
Just as pathetic as the match stick Minas Tirith, but this is way more awesome for some reason. I think maybe just because of what he built it out of
19. Todd - September 1, 2010 12:59 PM
Thats awesome...about time somebody found something to do with those little plastic model piece hanger thingies.
20. Zanatrek - September 1, 2010 1:04 PM
@4 Code Geass came AFTER Gundam.
Gundam= one of the greatest pioneers of mech anime.
Gundam>Code Geass

awesome way to recycle.
22. BATTLESTAR999 - September 1, 2010 11:53 PM
@1 & 4
Code Geass sucks. Gundam is the best mech anime ever made. Geass is just a cheap rehash.

i need to know the can we make e-art models with the help of computer hardware junks which is of no use.
24. Meh - September 2, 2010 3:28 PM
Knightmare frames better than Gundams? Maybe in some sort of Bizarro world. Gundams also came FAR before Knightmare frames and Gundams are far better machines in ever way. Knightmare frames have some of the gayest looking cockpits I've ever seen also.
25. Jazzman - September 2, 2010 4:12 PM
Soooooooo... what happened to all the models... i mean there are a lot of left over plastic model piece hanger thingies!!!

gundam is far superior to newer mecha animes, sorry but they came up with %60 of the giant robot anime base, the other parts being robotech and others, and when you say "Derp teh bestist gundams are from seed and 00" dont make me slap you with GW freakin huge mancock, everyone who is a true fan respects the one year war series as the best, all the way up to char's counter attack, if you want an almighty gundam, pick one from there, and technically there are not many true gundams out there, to be defines roughly, a gundam is a Moblie Suit(MS) that is made with the metal alloy Gundanium, now im not saying that all the other series are bad, mobile fighter G-gundam was a great spin on the series, and Gundam wing was good mostly because it was supposed to be another expansion of the original, its mostly futile to debate which gundam is better, they are all taken from a base from the original, even Code Geass takes some things from it, so did zoids if you remember, thats all i got now,
27. ZER0_infection - September 3, 2010 9:07 AM
i must say fuck you all to those who dis gundam ! in many ways our world with the right tech well be all contorling MS but other then that you think transformers are better no there just AI in body they can transform with gundams there the same thing just need a MS can do that my personal favorite is heavy arms im a sargent in the army and if we had them most of this modern day bullshit wars would never take place in and out look at us want to mess with THIS?

To those of you that are basically bashing this, what is wrong with you? Were you not taught to appreciate the arts? Besides, it's common knowledge that people that do this kind of stuff get laid more often than people that just troll.
But back onto the matter, this is pretty damn cool. It's ingenious, and those runners will not be clogging up the landfills. And considering it's modeled after the gundam that started it all, it has already gained +10 Epic Points. Now all that's needed is Char's Zaku, and it would make the world explode from epicness (maybe).
