When I started to write about this Griant Robot there was not a site for it; now there is:
Gaint Robot Shin.
This website is for a
contest: “Customize the template with your own designs”.
But before you start designing: you need to
read the rules (.pdf)…. But to make a long story short: basically you need to live in the USA, which I don’t do)
But the best stuff is yet to come: the template that are in the magazine can be downloaded form there:
part 1, part 2, part 3 and the blank template.

I’ve been asked to talk about this subject…… yeah this title is ohhh soooo original.
I though about it for a while (do I really want to make free advertising for a car company or a magazine?), but I couldn’t resist: Shin Tanaka is involved.
And that dude is cool!!
Shin is featured in an Asian/Amercan popculture magazine Giant Robot with a 3 piece robot: this image is the second one that can be found in Issue 57 of Giant Robot magazine.
Buy magazine 56, 57, 58 and you will have this:
How cool is that!
I’ve been looking around in the stores in Amsterdam, but I haven’t found this magazine (yet). So I can’t build it 🙁 and those who can’t build, write about it…. 😀
The same thing about Scion, this brand isn’t sold in the Netherlands (perhaps it is, but I don’t know about it, and I have never seen one).
But if Scion is happy with this post, and want to reward me, just give me a xB (no, really!!)
