Paul B Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) This is Major Motoko Kusanagi from Japanese special forces section 9 - From the Anime Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex TV series. The chara design varies slightly between the two movies and the TV series and here she is in 1/24 scale, a perfect match for the Tachikoma. the Head is only dry fitted and will be kept seporate until it's all painted..

Paul B Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 Done the initial prime then sand bit and have applied a second coat of primer ready for a final look over to see if I've missed anybits. Just about to make a start on sanding the barrel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
