Amazon Japan has this little book. I am not sure exactly what it's about, because I don't know Japanese. However, from what I can tell using Google Translate, the book is about what it would be like if a real, giant Mazinger Z underground hangar were to be built today, how feasible would it be, what materials would be used, how much would it cost, how many people would it take, how long would it take to build? If I understand correctly, this is one of several books of this kind, based on science fiction shows, to get kids interested in engineering, or something like that. "February 2003. The construction industry in the 21st century with the aim of strong lead to the company, "Fantasy sales department" has been installed in the Maeda. I noticed in the construction industry, which is reputed to be "stay in the same pie" relates to orders, other companies the field of non-participation at all, that is, "pie" of miraculously untouched, movies, television, to be a "world in the play" cartoon It was when, Maeda embarked on the development of the "fantasy world interactive device" without hesitation, and I was beautifully finished. Had spread to there not only price competition, it was the world that imagination and technical capabilities to solve a difficult problem is really tested. Once science drawn in anime is now not a fancy! Real major general contractor of, was seriously efforts to "Mazinger Z underground hangar set construction". Budget 7.2 billion yen, it assumes in the five months construction period six years (except the attack period of the mechanical beast)." %E7%94%B0%E5%BB%BA%E8%A8%AD%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BF%E3%82%B8%E3%83%BC%E5%96%B6%E6%A5%AD%E9%83%A8-%E5%89% %E7%94%B0%E5%BB%BA%E8%A8%AD%E5%B7%A5%E6%A5%AD/dp/4344007069/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.amazon.co.jp/%E5%89%%E7%94%B0%E5%BB%BA%E8%A8%AD%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BF%E3%82%B8%E3%83%BC%E5%96%B6%E6%A5%AD%E9%83%A8-%E5%89%%E7%94%B0%E5%BB%BA%E8%A8%AD%E5%B7%A5%E6%A5%AD/dp/4344007069/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Inside this book, you'll find the image below, but in black and white. I found it in color on the Internet. It seems to be a model which was built for this book, but I'm not entirely sure. How cool is this? How much would RobotJapan members pay for this thing if it ever went up for sale?   |

Ha! I like it, would be great if I had the room to make one for myself.

Hmmm, I wonder where Marvel got this idea from. I guess you've never seen Thunderbirds, a 1960s TV show. One of the vehicles, Thunderbird 1, launches from a swimming pool. This predates, and most likely inspired, Mazinger Z's own launch sequence by about 7 years. |

That might be where the idea came from for the launch sequence in both Mazinger Z and Winter Soldier. The difference is that in Thunderbirds, the entire section of the pool holding the water is moved aside before the launch. In both Mazinger Z and Winter Soldier, the section of the pool holding the water is parted, creating water falls. I personally like that better. New Version: |

But let's not forget Bond's You Only Live Twice (1967) where they had the fake lake on top of a mountain which slides out. |

I watched the Thunderbirds Are Go movie... by the time the Zero-X1 finished its
Parts Merge sequence I coulda killed everyone in that movie! LOL
Weeeell, I now have enough materials to build my own large scale mechanic base...
...I haven't done any toy work lately, and my new job sends me home tired and sore.
And since I had moved into my new place almost two months ago I
still haven't unpacked my robots.

I have about half a million Lego that I swear one day I am going to build a massive giant robot diorama backdrop with.
