Howl’s Paper Castle

howls moving castle Check this out. If you’re a fan of animation director Hayao Miyazaki’s latest, Howl’s Moving Castle, and you’re totally into paper construction, then the Japanese Espon website has just the project for you: a complete paper replica of the titular castle. Apparently there are two versions: one somewhat detailed (pictured at left), and one incredibly detailed, and much larger. Go for it.

Go HERE for the complete details on this intriguing time-waster. Scroll down a bit to see the larger version. Go HERE for the Epson site (in Japanese, of course).

(Found via In-Betweens, fps magazine’s blog.)
