Maybe because of all the giant buildings dispersed in such a way to create gaps in the skyline, it's very easy to picture in Tokyo, amidst those buildings and gaps. Compared to an EVA, the 60ft Gundam is very small, and the size disparity really makes the idea of an Angel attack very frightening, especially from a sheer size standpoint.
A looming, life-sized Evangelion would probably never be made, but amusement park Fuji-Q did the best it could do: a life-sized, 30ft Unit-1 bust in a recreated NERV storage cage, complete with LCL and everything. There was even separate museum pieces, including SEELE monoliths, a life-sized Rei, Asuka and Kaoru, as well as places to take your picture in an entry plug, as Lilith, and seated at a NERV meeting.
Although it was to scale, it wasn't big enough for my tastes. I was hoping for something gigantic, but really, the EVA is more tall than anything else. It's really lanky, especially in the Rebuild movies.
However, it was awesome, and a really cool experience. (ありがとうゆり！） Highly recommended.
