Asahi.com's English site has a
pic and brief news blurb about the Gundam Tachi-Neputa mentioned
back in
March.
A gigantic paper replica of robotic armor from Mobile Suit Gundam,
a popular TV anime series, is completed Tuesday in Goshogawara,
Aomori Prefecture. The 11-meter-tall, 1-ton paper doll will be put
up on a float for the Tachi-Neputa festival to be held in the city
from Saturday through Wednesday. The festival was revived in 1998
after it was stopped in the Taisho Era (1912-1926). Nine craftsmen
and workers created the Gundam based on drawings and a plastic
model. It will be shown at a Goshogawara tourism promotion facility
until the festival opens. (NOBORU TOMURA/ The Asahi Shimbun)
