I made a Miniature HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE out of junk // Ghibli Crafts

Howl’s Moving Castle. It’s big (21“ tall). It’s heavy-ish (4.2 lbs). It’s made out of junk (mostly). Help yourself to a full breakfast and strap yourself in to the merry-go-round of life for almost a full hour. In total, this project took roughly 300-400 hours spread over 60 days to complete.
