At the center of Miyazakitopia: Castle in the Sky

Lego artist Iain Heath, aka Ochre Jelly, has been slowly unveiling his Lego recreations and models for Hayao Miyazaki-centric Miyazakitopia display at this year's BrickCon. Almost all of Miyazaki's characters seem to be present: Kiki, Chihiro, Nausicaa, Totoro, Ponyo, Paz, Sheeta and a handful of other supporting characters.

But at the center of what will most definitely be a very busy and impressive display, will be Castle in the Sky's floating fortress. This top-heavy replica does everything outside of actually going airborne and being a doomsday device. Hit the gallery to see how it breaks down into four separate pieces.

If you live in Seattle or will be stopping by there during the week of Sept. 30 to Oct. 3, then this exhibit and the rest of Brickcon should definitely be worth the $7 admission.
