Build of the week: GSW Cyborg is an armored computer man

Green Shield Workshop is an outfit out of Serbia that specializes in making historically accurate custom weapons and armor, which makes their new venture into case-modding especially surprising. Last year, they experimented with an impressive case mod featuring a plated dragon, but this time, they started from scratch.

Cyborg is a back plate, breastplate, and helmet armor combination handmade entirely out of steel, using techniques new and old. The components are hidden behind the breastplate, which moves in and out at the touch of a button. It’s a neat feature, but in the heat of battle, probably not so useful. I like Cyborg, as strange and impractical as it might be. But real world use cases aren’t a huge priority for the best modders. They live by a single unifying law: if it exists, put a computer in it. Nice work, GSW.
