Hmm… there is old Eastern European folktale of a witch named Baba Yaga- she lived in a hut that was on chicken feet, and her hut could run very fast! Which was a good thing, because Baba Yaga’s other way of getting around was hopping along in a mortar, using the pestle as a rudder. Weird, I know, but true!
At any rate, that’s what this picture reminded me of. Either I am too old or too bookish to recognize what the rest of you are seeing. Likely both.
Did anyone notice that that castle has really bad defense of the lower area? If you are quick you get close enough. Now the cannons canāt hit you anymore. Then all you have to to, is destroy one or two feet, and it will start to tip over. WIN
I’m a 52 y.o. grandmother & I love “Howl’s Moving Castle” – saw it on TCM recently. What a terrific movie- the symbolism is so lost on kids- if you only think “Anime” is for them take a look at it!
i want it i want it !!!!1!!!!
why post it on a WTF site? the movie rocked, and my friends tell me the book was even beter. read a comic book that isn’t American :->
Oh, nice to see this papercraft here. I’ve been planning to make this since october last year, but didn’t have time for that until now.
Only need to print this out with some good printers and good paper at university *^*
I actually built a good portion of that before. It’s a nightmare, but near impossible to find now…
This is the paper-craft model, isn’t it ?
Yep it is. This is a photograph I took of the one I made.
Awesome … and what a great movie
What movie? Ive seen it before.
“Howl’s moving castle” its a damn good movie
It’s also a great book, I highly recommend the read! And the sequel “Castle in the Air” (not related to “Castle in the Sky” though)
Agreed!!
Like most things–the book was better. But the movie wasn’t bad.
The movie was meant to be an adaptation, which is why it’s much different from the book. I think both have their merits.
ghibli r AWESOME
If only it moved, and had a portal to 3 random locations.
omg omg omg its just like the one i did : D and almost killed myself after not being able to until the 3rd time i tryed, walking castle : D so awesome
this is an epic win!!! now if it only moved…
wouldn’t mind having calcifer either
Awesome, but I hope they didn’t put Calcifer in it as well!
Billy Crystal?
HAR HAR HAR
Me too! don’t want that place getting destroyed!
it would be great having Calcifer, but in a fireproof box on the side, or something
Calcifer is the best!
“Here’s another curse…may all your bacon burn.” I <3 Calcifer!!
looks like something from professor layton!

Hayao Miyazaki FTW, HELL YEAH!
Those danged Asians, always thinking up the coolest crap.
HOWLS MOVING CASTLE FTW!
They should put a talking fire, a portal, an old lady and a bird-man-magician in there.
And a hopping scarecrow.
I’m feeling a little bit lost here

I suggest you read it or watch it then. Many of us bookish types have.

Unless of course Calcifer lowers the castle and crushes you……
but… its magic.
I wonder who did it. I would love to try myself…
Howl’s Moving Castle kicked so much ass, what a great tribute to a great movie!
That is phenominal! I can only imagine how long that took, especially with all that detail! I love it!
It took about 72 hours to make.
