Hello!
I waited to post once I finally completed the MOC. Been working on probably my
last big grey MOC.

Presenting Totoro!

Background: This is a peice based upon the character from a Hayao Miazaki
animation from the 1988 Movie. There is a scene where the children are awaiting
the arrival of their father from the city bus, when a spirit of the forest
arrives to wait for his own transportation. (A Catbus)

Notes on the MOC:
It's about 3ft tall, about 20in in Diameter. It's completely hollow and
amazingly not supported by and internal framework. (Trust me, but I'm not
reopening this unless I drop it.)

The Umbrealla is all Technic work, thanks to some great tips from Wayne Hussey a
fellow SEALUGger.

Cheers!
T. Kubo

<snip> (...) I somehow missed that this puppy was hollow. Incredible. And you really nailed in making the sculpture feel "animated" (not in the cartoon sense, but in the physical sense). Awesome stuff. The umbrella came out awesome as well. (20 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.org.us.sealug)

(...) hate to think how scary a mouth wide-wide open Totoro would be. Satsuki's little sister would be ecstatic. -Teddy (20 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.org.us.sealug)
