We have found another Master Builder. Awesome work. Post it on Lego Ideas (link), I'd buy one.

Wait seriously? We're doing MOCs on this site now? Will we be seeing more of these or is it a one-off?

Because if this site had more ads like these maybe such a project wouldn't have expired on Lego Ideas and maybe it could have been made into a set:

An official version of this with instructions would be awesome, but (I imagine) insanely expensive.

I know how big legos are, but man that thing looks almost as big as a small child with that background.

Looks cool! Smile It looks ready for serious combat!
...of course, that's if enemy gunfire doesn't put any serious dents into his LEGO armor before the Gundam mecha has a chance to pull the trigger...

Edit: Yes! 4800 posts!

I actually expected it to be bigger, as Lego sculptures tend to be really big. What I find is impressive is the efficiency of bricks. This uses a lot of unusually-shaped bricks to create something none of those bricks were ever meant to become.

An Amuro Ray minifig and a cockpit section that can accomodate it would be nice touches. Still impressive nonetheless.

Damn that is awesome especially when you take into consideration that the builder didn't cut corners and only used existing unmotivated Lego bricks. Cool

Wow,Anyone will definitely mistaken it for a Gunpla, but it's awesome on the ways he do it. Even I can't create a decent robot out of legos, let alone a Gundam or any other mechas.

Anyone with an interest in LEGO should track down the film "A LEGO Brickumentary," a fascinating look at the hobby that showcases some remarkable constructions. It streams on Amazon Prime.

Gundam series has never appeared in Lego and has appeared with Megablocks recently. I wished it could happen but not likely.

I don't want to be "that guy" but I'm going to be anyway...

"Legos" is not correct. "Lego" is the company name. Attaching an "s" to the end of it doesn't mean what you think it means.

The correct terminology would be "made a model using only Lego bricks."

That being said, this is amazing :3
