I dont have photos of the original because im an idiot, but i designed a replacement skin, dyed a ton of old scrap fabric from a kimono, built a tenjin cap and doukake. And then set up this beauty so it can played again and I can finally start learning. Let me know what y’all think.

Very nice! 
What did you use to make the covers shiny? (lacquer, resin…) Thanks!
Nitrocellulose lacquer. It works well and it’s cheap. I have more photos, but none of my uploads go through well when I post on bachido haha
