Ever wonder what to do with those stupid grids of plastic left over when you assemble a model? How about build a Gundam?

That’s exactly what these guys did with their leftover bits and pieces. 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.

If for any reason you happen to be inTokyo this weekend, you can check it out in person the Chara Hobby show at the Dengeki Hobby booth.
