This was my instrument, which i sold. Never learned how to play it... :)
A classic for the anime enthusiast! Despite being only a recast kit, this piece offers much room for added details beyond the original.
Personal additions are many free-standing cables (made from aluminum wire), several original resin details were sanded away and replaced by more plastic wire, too. For instance, there's a solid resin cable loom that is to be fitted to the figure's back - but I rejected this piece and rather built a more "blooming" alternative from different sorts of wire, so that the whole figure gains more depth and space.
Furthermore, on the figure's back several "data storage plugs" were added, inspired from sketches in the GITS manga; these are various iron bombs from aircraft model kits.
The base was modified, too: the original plaque was a bit rough and flimsy, so I added a flat glass dish (actually a candle holder!) underneath, which also provides a Much lower CG and therefore better stability.
Painting was done completely by brush and enamels, almost any tone was mixed in order to create a conclusive look and to come close to the figure's origins, several illustrations for the GITS manga.
Lots of work, but worth the effort.
On 5th March 2017, the whole community of the Pontifical Irish College, Rome, continued the long College tradition of going for a 'gita', an outing to a place of spiritual and cultural significance, this time visiting the Abbey of Montecassino. The Abbey was founded by Saint Benedict around the year 529 on the remnants of the Roman fortification of the municipium Casinum.

I retextured all the parts if the GITS outfit. I have a request out to the mod author to see if I can upload it.
