It's amazing to see that the legs are done with just the iron frame of the leg supporting the mass ^^
Production of the body and waist armors ^^
Complete with warning messages here and there to increase the feel of realism.
Work in progress for the arm - the shoulder joint can be seen as well.
According to the same report, the completed statue will weight about 35 tons. I can't remember the specs, but the actual weight of Gundam RX-78-2 according to its mecha setting is a lot heavier than this life-size statue I think.
The date of display for the statue is from July 11th till August 31st, but the work in progress images are very exciting to see as well ^^
