That's what I meant... :-)

Sorry, I keep forgetting that the neural network doen't pick up my thoughts yet. :-)

Also: Wow, that looks like it would take AGES to put together...!

The walking version is out of a japanese book:
http://www.ghibliworld.com/howlscollection.html#8
The book is still listed on amazon.co.jp but from what i heard it's sold out and only listed by secondary sellers. Apparently it's not possible to find that book in Europe or US via ISBN. I remember one guy who found it on ebay.

There is a scanned version (123 MB) to download tho:

http://rapidshare.com/files/100843220/HMC.walking.part2.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/100845318/HMC.walking.part3.rar

I dislike posting copyrighted art, but this one seems impossible to order otherwise. If you know of a way to still order that book, let me know. If someone takes offense (despite the difficulty to get the model) by the links I'll delete this post. Some guy said it takes like 72+ hours to glue the walking model together. ;)

I have seen this ones on paperkraft.net few months ago. They're awesome! One of the best papertoys I've seen. There are no other like them. Many details.
I don't know, but maybe someone had made the Porco Rosso planes ? ...

First of all, Anime FTW!

I am definitely a big fan of Pepakura or Japanese Papercraft. They never cease to amaze me by how complex some of them are like the Howl's Moving Castle mentioned and some of the Transformer ones.
My favorite one would have to be the Cat Bus papercraft from the children movie, My Neighbor Totoro, I found somewhere on the net. That was relatively easy to assemble. Lol.

Love it! They're always so colorful and it's a lot cheaper than buying a plastic gundam model that's offcolor. They seem to be less blocky than other models depending which one you're doing.

My favorite so far is the Gunbound dragon. I like dragons and the Gunbound style is appealing.

not to mention the fact that some papermodels take longer to put together, that is part of the reason i am such a big fan. i was tired of dropping $20 and putting it together in like 20 mins. what a rip.

I love the anime ones. I love to find the supe hard ones. I have seen the moving castle ones before but I have never had much of an interest in them( I haven't seen the movie) But I am now working on the Eva Type 01. I had looked for ever to find it, I found it buried away in a shared file on the web. Sadly i have lost the bookmark. Good thing i save all of my zips.

P.S. this thing is gunna be huge.
