Anyone who has seen Howl’s Moving Castle wants to live there. And who can blame them, really? Who wouldn’t want to live in a castle that can walk on two legs, and transport you to different worlds with the turn of a dial? Sadly, Ben Millett can’t build you the real thing, but he shows us how he created this amazing papercraft version.

Check out the full set of photos on Flickr, and the time-lapse video he took of the entire painstaking process below:

He notes that the PDF he used is no longer available (although the book is available on Amazon Japan), however a little birdie told me you could probably find a torrent or download of it somewhere on teh intarwebs.

Not that the little birdie would know, since that would be illegal.

And definitely not that the little birdie would already have downloaded it. Definitely not.

‘Cuz that would be illegal.

These Lego versions of characters from Hayao Miyazaki’s classic My Neighbor Totoro are part of Iain Heath’s (aka Ochre Jelly) entry to BrikCon 2010 which takes place from September 30th – October 3rd of this year in Seattle, WA.

The theme of this year’s BrikCon is “Big in Japan” and different Lego artists will be showing off their unique pieces that celebrate Japanese culture. Ochre Jelly’s theme is “Miyazakitopia” and will pay homage to the great Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki.

I would totally live in a place with a 13 foot tall 7-nippled rabbit.

Check out the full collection of his “phase one” work so far on Flickr.
