This huge, detailed Gundam sculpture was built out of cardboard by Japanese high school students

Gunpla, plastic models based on the hit mecha anime series Mobile Suit Gundam, have a serious fan base.
There are whole floors of hobby shops as well as specialty stores dedicated entirely to mobile suit model kits and their accessories!
But a group of Japanese high school students might have casual Gunpla fans beat, thanks to their ridiculously realistic, large-scale Gundam model, made solely out of cardboard.
This cardboard model is of the Unicorn Gundam, a mobile suit that appeared in one of the more recent Mobile Suit Gundam installations, which is the same life-size Gundam also standing proudly in the courtyard of Odaiba’s Diver City in Tokyo.
▼ For reference, here is a photo of a similar, professionally-made statue of the Unicorn Gundam that was on display in Tokyo.
