Description
My first attempt at a sculpture, I decided to do something special for my girlfriend.

She's a big Ghibli fan so I thought I'd try and make a Totoro diorama.

Very pleased with it so far, O-Totoro, Chu-Totoro and Chibi-Totoro have all been baked with a heat gun, the umbrella is made from canvas and has glaze on it for water droplets.

The fur took a long time to carve in using a craft knife, but was worth it in the end, I really like how it came out after a little smooth down with spirits.

Nothing has been stuck down yet, this was just a draft of how I want it to basically look in the end.

Characters obviously (c) Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli
