I was just going to reblog this with some pithy tags, but I figured I'd try to work out where this was so I could get the tags right. Turns out that Shizuoka (city in Japan to the South West of Tokyo) is a bit of a hub for the plastic scale model industry; Tamiya and others have their headquarters here, and it looks like it's also where Bandai manufacture all the Gundam kits!

To celebrate this, the city decided to promote itself as a 'model city', hence the giant sprues. There are also sprues for other things, like information boards, and post boxes...

A red square post box, with a giant red sprue of parts behind it. The parts on the sprue are the parts used to construct the post box. The post box has two slots for post, the one on the left is narrower than the one on the right. It has the word 'post' as well as kanji prominently displayed on the front. At the bottom of the sprue is a plaque bearing the words Shizuoka A Model City.

It's whimsical and fun, but also a nice way to celebrate the industries of the city!
