Howl's castle (Self-propelled architecture)
A couple of years ago a thread about Howl's Moving castle model from Hayao Miyazaki's cartoon was published on Only-Paper site .
My family really liked this model and everybody wanted me to assemble it. The first look to this set maked me little shocked: 49 pages of parts! But assembling was started. It was slow, with long and often interruptions. But incredible event happened few days ago: the project has finished. The model has no formers, and I do not know if it is possible to assemble it without any deformation. Also some parts have no defined positions and I am not sure if there are two the same assembles. But these facts just add reality to the model: the prototype (if a fairy-tale can be accepted as a source documentation) is a not rigid construction: almost all parts change their shapes and positions. The result of two-year work is at the pictures. The last photo I made with NIVA model in 1/43 scale - just for comparison. |

Sorry, forgot about this rule.
But there is a forum where people show their works and models designed by themselves. Nobody insists to use illegal content. And I did not give a direct link. |

Dear Andre:
Great modeling, I give up I will have to read the book, Many years ago I did a 20+ page Cinderella castle for my daughter. May your dog not get the model. Enjoy, Miles

You did a great job building it. The source is unfortunate. I've seen this completed model in person, and it is huge and complicated.

Amazing model. I don't think I have the discipline to spend that much time on any model.
Did you have this printed at a shop?
