Ghibli: Ponyo (Fujimoto's Submarine)

July 27, 2017
Here's the box.. nice ship... Not what I'm going to build... but nice.
2
July 27, 2017
Here's the most important part, the main hull. I also found a couple of Bandai wings from a "Gundam thing"
3
July 27, 2017
First things first... cut the hull to shape and glued it together.
4
July 27, 2017
Added internal structure for support and for something to drill into so I can attach the wings.
5
July 30, 2017
Added the deck, the beginning of the cabin, and modified the "wings"
6
July 30, 2017
Drilled out some side windows.
7
July 30, 2017
The shape is not quite 100% correct, but it's about as close as I can reasonably expect.
8
July 31, 2017
Roughed-in details for the cabin.
9
August 2, 2017
The very beginnings of the upper cabin frame...
10
August 2, 2017
That's a pretty close match. Book it!
11
August 5, 2017
Lots of glueing, clamping, cutting, sanding and putty later...
12
August 5, 2017
Added a bit of detail to the back end.
13
August 5, 2017
Interior details... upside down.
14
August 5, 2017
More interior details, upside down. Just some shelves and whatnot.
15
August 7, 2017
Added a few of the external details.
16
August 8, 2017
After a coat of primer, it looks like there'll be a few more rounds of PSR...
17
August 8, 2017
All the interior work should pay off because it will be quite visible when completed.
18
August 9, 2017
Touched up a few missed spots with putty. Where'd that 3-wheeled tuck come from? 😉
19
August 14, 2017
Painted lots of the interior bits... but not quite finished yet.
20
August 21, 2017
Painting done.
21
August 21, 2017
Everything glued in place and a coat of Future applied.
22
August 21, 2017
Thank god the two halves still fit together.
23
August 24, 2017
Whoops! Almost forgot to add the rudder. Now let's get some paint on her!
24
August 25, 2017
The first coat of red paint. Might need a second go 'round.
25
August 27, 2017
Captain. We have a problem. Tipped over and roughed up the paint. That's okay... Red needs to be darker anyway.
26
September 11, 2017
Ok... that's better the four main colours (white, beige, blue and red) are all in. Now for some details.
27
September 11, 2017
I'm glad I made the stand tall enough to accommodate the flippers.
28
September 11, 2017
I quite like the bend in the flippers... gives it that organic flow look.
29
October 3, 2017
Looks like the light bulb works.
30
October 30, 2017
All done!

Another interesting build Greg ! 🙂
love all these Scratch'n'bash builds 😄

Thanks Choppa! I'm having a lot of fun. This one is a bit more intense than the other Ghibli scratch builds I've done... but I'm happy with the progress so far.

Cool idea!!

Just a quick update. I added most of the external cabin details, and more or less sorted out the final count of what's going to be included on the inside.

Wow, strangely beautiful, your'e a skilled scratchbuilder ! Is this completely out of the blue, or do you have some kind of template to refer to ? What is the story behind
" Ghibli" apart from being a desert wind ?

Thanks Hanno! "Studio Ghibli" is the name of Hayao Miyazaki's animation production company. So lately I've been crafting up some scratch builds in 1/72 of some of the "flying" machines from his films. I've been posting them as "Mystery" projects with the intention of seeing who can guess what I'm building. At least that part is fun for me (not sure if anyone else is enjoying that aspect".

So far Project A was revealed as the Powered glider (Mehve) from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Project B was revealed as the insect-like "Flapter" ornithopter from Laputa: Castle in the Sky. Project C is still under construction and still a mystery. Project D was revealed as Tombo's Propeller bike from Kiki's Delivery Service. Project E (this one) is yet to be revealed but you're free to hazard a a guess.😉. I also just started Project F, which was quickly revealed as a Daihatsu Midget DK from My Neighbour Totoro.

Choppa Nutta
Yeah the guessing game is fun,
"Can you tell what is yet ???" 😄

Oh, its easy. This is from "Ponyo". 🙂

Just in case you've thought about making a backdrop for Ghibli builds 😄

Coming on great btw 🙂

Mind you easier enough to download one and print it off 🙂
but seeing as this is largely a scratch built project 😉 😄

Wow.. I think I'll stick to plastic. Nice find!

Finally got some paint on this one. Most of the interior is done, but still a few more bits to do.

Spanjaard
very interesting Greg 🙂

14 August 2017, 20:13

Greg Baker Szerző
Thanks Spanjaard! It's finally starting to look a bit like I imagined it. Scary😉

15 August 2017, 01:57

Greg Baker Szerző
Okay, so the interior is almost all done. Just a bit of a wash for depth before I seal it all up inside.

Antonio De Girolamo
I look forward to the completion of this jewel, Greg!

22 August 2017, 14:04

Greg Baker Szerző
Let's hope so. I glued the two halves together tonight and for some reason the sides bowed in a bit and I couldn't close the gap. I had to do some emergency surgery with a bit of thin plasticard and some putty. I hope I can sand it into submission without wrecking any of the interior by accident.

How wonderfully creative Greg. 🙂
The wheels turn and the imagination has it all worked out.🙂
Sheer enjoyment to see the end product 'appear' and turn into something mystical and magical. I love it. 🙂 🙂 🙂 !

Greg Baker Szerző
Thanks Kerry! It's amazing what getting a coat of paint on does for the morale. It starts to look like what you envision and suddenly you get a burst of energy. I'm glad you like it.

Kerry COX
I love it mate. 👍

11 September 2017, 07:05

Greg Baker Szerző
Alright. And there she is... done! The stand didn't quite work as well as I'd hoped. But since it's the first time I included any sort of lighting (even something as simple as this), I'm happy enough.

3 October 2017, 14:02

Choppa Nutta
Love it ! 🙂
and want one !! 😄

Kerry COX
An excellent result. 🙂 Well done Greg. 👍

Greg Baker Szerző
Thanks gents! The front cabin windows were almost a death match... the curved surface just didn't want to comply with my will. Luckily we both made it out the other side intact.😉

Antonio De Girolamo
Fantastic result Greg, I love your way of modeling!

4 October 2017, 06:48

Greg Baker Szerző
Thanks Antonio! Mostly my way of modelling consists of copying what other people are doing and trying my best to adapt it to my situation.😉

Album info

A little kit-bashed scratch-build of Fujimoto's submarine from the Studio Ghibli animated film, "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea." For the main hull, I used a modified 1/350 Cutty Sark (Academy). For the wings I used some parts from a random Bandai "Gundam thing". The rest is all scratch built.
