Would you pay US$600,000 for a painting of a Gundam? Apparently somebody did at a Christie's auction in Hong Kong. The Gundam painting "RX-78-2 Kabuki-mono 2005 Version" went for HK$4.8 million (approximately US$600,000). The painting of this traditional mixed with modern Gundam was created by Tenmyouya Hisashi, a Japanese artist.
