Project 2: Howl's Moving Castle

This project features Howl's Castle from the anime movie Howl's Moving Castle. One of the main inspiration automata for the project was based on the movements of the character named Turnip. Turnip is a scarecrow how moves in circular and up-down motion.

The Initial Box

This is the initial box with the artificial grass covering portions of the surface.

Box with Motor Mount

This is the first trial of the entire system with the motor mount. The snail-cam turned out to be a bit on the smaller end, so it went for a re-print.

The Main Character

The finished and painted model of Howl's Castle.

The Show Stopper

Meet Turnip. He is our show stopper. Turnip has a very significant role throughout the movie, but his identity is not revealed until the very end. I will not spoil it though.

And Done!

This is the final and finished product.
