Respect the robot.
>>
It's supposed to represent "strength".
>>
The better question is why isn't it of the V2 Assault?
>>
>>15802229
What the fuck? Is there? I live on the other side of the country but go up there often, fuck I'll have to go see it.
>>
>>15802229

The real question is why aren't (You) erecting statues of mecha in your local municipality?
>>
>>15802254
It's in a skatepark, statue is called Guard, should pop up on Google maps.

>>15802229
Local skatepark was issued a statue, local artist made up a few concepts, skaters chose Victory II.

It's been there since 2001, BTW.
>>
>>15802262
Yeah found where it is, I'll probably go there in a few weeks. Thanks

Blasphemy.

The V2 is one of my favourite suits and everytime I walk past the statue I just can't get over how much they fucked up the proportions...
>>
>>15802229
Well, Victory takes place in Europe right?
>>
>>15802863
I saw a Yamaha bike with a Zimmad sticker on the engine. Since the Gundam fanbase is small here and the used bikes market is wide, I suppose that sticker was added by the original owner of the bike

Main cast was on a trip from Casarelia (near Prague) to Gibraltar. Probably they had no chance to visit Netherlands

Woah nice
