"A pig who doesn't fly is just an ordinary pig" After a long time since my last work here is my latest new creation, based on the iconic first scene of the animated film Porco Rosso by Hayao Miyazaki, Japan's greatest animation director and co-founder of Studio Ghibli. Between missions over the Adriatic Sea, the anthropomorphic bounty killer Porco Rosso keeps his seaplane in this secret cove, inspired by the stunning Stiniva Bay in Croatia. Porco Rosso is one of my favorite films by the Japanese director and is full of interesting ideas. This scene had been on my list for a long time, and I recently found the time and inspiration to build it. The diorama also includes the legendary red Savoia S.21, the Porco Rosso character, his tent, and many small tools as seen in the film. Savoia S.21 is the fictional prototype seaplane used by Marco Pagot, aka Porco Rosso. This seaplane was named after SIAI S.21, an Italian racing flying boat built by SIAI for the 1921 Schneider Trophy race. However, it does not closely resemble the real S.21, as it was modeled after another Italian seaplane, the Macchi M.33, with which it has in common the retracted cockpit and a single pair of wings. Note the Fabuland piece I used for the seaplane's engine above the wings and the rare tent from an old Indiana Jones set. Hope you lile it!
