Howls Moving Castle

I've been working on papercraft from Portal. I'm doing a video game room at CoreCon http://www.fargocorecon.org with a Portal theme, so that has been keeping me busy. I'm heading up to Manitoba Comic Con in October, and will be selling some smaller papercraft, probably in the Hako Style. I'll probably do a picture when I finish GlaDOS and the cake.

hey peo/po/
I havn't done any papercraft since finishing Howl's Castle. I have been Job Hunting and Moving so not alot of free time. I have worked on a Zelda from Ninjatoes but I havn't finished it. I took a big break a while back so I expect to get into it again later. The castle still amazes me and I say SEE THE MOVIE, it is one of my favorites.

Here are some size references to my Castle

Both Castles side by side

I have finished Howl's Moving Castle! I started June 15th and Finished it July 9th. It took over 100 hours to complete, but it is spectacular.

I also made a dog for my Grandma's husband who was hurt in a horse riding accident. It didn't take as long as similar ones have in the past (I must be getting faster)

Cherrie is not ammused

Now I'm working on a 3 page Zelda and a 22 page Dragon
and searching for work duh!

I'm done with Adcenter and Upstream! I'll miss alot of people from there but I've made arangements to keep in touch with a few of you. If I missed you and you do want to keep in touch, just let me know.

As many have seen, the Caslte is pretty much done! I have 2 legs left and it will be complete (about 3 hours). I'll post pics once it is 100%

First off, Hello adCenter!

I am adding links to some of my favorite Papercraft Models from movies such as Howl's Moving Castle and Kiki's Delivery Service

First of we have Kiki the witch with scale Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Serivce

Next a much larger Jiji alone also from Kiki's Delivery Service

Then No Face from Spirited Away taken from www.Paperkraft.net but I lightened the folding lines.

And a Flapter from Castle in the Sky

These are all hosted on my googlepages site and should work forever

Here is Howl's Moving Castle from the beginging of the movie
and Howl's Moving Castle from the end of the movie and a Basic Translation Guide

I will have some others avaliable on my Google Page

Check out my stuff on this site, I hope you enjoy and will comment!

I take no credit in this link, I couldn't get it hosted and someone beat me to it, but here it is anyway!
Howl's Moving Castle

I'm almost done with it myself, it's a blast!

If it isn't on the site, just wait awhile, i'm uploading it (123MB)

Kiki Is Done!
I used a Jiji 1/12th the size of my original (it was supposed to be the one I was giving away) and created the present texture and created the radio (by request, good thinking) from scratch. I wasn't happy with a plain broom so I changed the way it looked also.

Haku

I'm almost done with Kiki


LARGER 1\LARGER 2

I am modifying Majogirl by adding things and changing almost everything (textures, accessories ect.)


LARGER 1

I'm trying to find a good size for Jiji, so a couple of co-workers and I made a Jiji Army


LARGER 1

Still unsure what size to use.

I found a really great Haku that I'll do instead of the Turnip (Spirited Away) though it is huge and will take 30-40 hours. I'll have to finish Howl's Caslte and Kiki First.

I'm trying to make 2 papercraft from each of the Ghibli Studio movies I have seen. I have 2 Howl's Castles, Totoro and Catbus, No-Face (need another from Spirited away), and Kiki with small Jiji and a large Jiji (made these myself)

No-Face is based on the one I found at http://paperkraft.blogspot.com/ but I removed the lines to make it look nicer. This is the one from his/her site


LARGER 1\LARGER 2

Jiji is based on a design for Luna found at http://www.kinmoku.net/tsukutte/ . I retextured it and modifed some parts to be more Jijish. It is going to be with the Kiki I'm making.

Howl's Castle (my current Icon) is coming along nicely and should be done by the end of the week. I want to make my kiki after that.
I also want to make:
Forest Spirit and tiki guy's (princess mononoke)
Turnip Spirit or anything else (Spirited Away)
The Baron and girl (cat returns)

I will be making the Papercraft of Howl's Moving castle.
This is the castle I will be making

LARGER
It can be found HERE
I have done several papercraft projects before including the castle from the end of the movie

LARGER
I also did Serenity, Catbus, 8-bit Mario, a Delorian, Moon from Majora's Mask, Crystal Canvas Kirby, and a pair of Stargates (none shown).

I thought I'd share my experience for the best day EVER!
It started out when I decided that I couldn't wait for a Lite Color that isn't even confirmed so I set out to get my lite. I first needed a reason to use my best buy service plan to exchange my blue ds (previously exchanged from day one silver) since my wife already had a dead pixel on her teal ds (nintendogs best friends edition also an upgrade from day one).
