So, a while back, like, a long while back, I tried to make a replica of the Swordfish II, it didn't turn out too well, couldn't fly well, didn't stay true to the show, etc.
I have decided to revisit the design and wound up doing a complete rebuild from the ground up, and I must say I'm quite proud of it, while simultaneously being disappointed in myself for being unable to pull off the landing gear, otherwise I think it's pretty good, not perfect, not by any means, but pretty good. So I hope you lot enjoy it, and make sure to let me know if you find any nasty bugs or flaws in the replica.
See you space cowboy, go hunt some bounties!

@MisterMasada Oh, I admit that there are definite exceptions! In many cases though the voice actor is not able to catch subtle voice inflections that contribute to the mood and/or whether the character is serious in what he or she is saying. Perhaps this is such an exception?
@DragonAerotech Hmm, I would perhaps ask that you reconsider your stance on dubbing regarding Cowboy Bebop and it's film, Knockin' on Heaven's Door . Steve Blume (The fellow who voices Spike Spiegel in Cowboy Bebop) is a phenomenal voice actor who, in my honest opinion, fits the character perfectly with his voice performances. And the rest of the cast really doesn't fall short with their performances either. But I digress, it is a matter of personal preference, I just think that you should give it a try before outright refusing, or assuming that it doesn't do the original work justice.
@MisterMasada lol Thanks for the tag. Never actually saw much of the series but seem to recall a film sometime back? Part of my issue is that I refuse to watch a foreign film that has been dubbed I prefer foreign films and anime that have subtitles, though I speak a bit of Japanese, quite a bit of German and a lot of Spanish. The franchises that do voice dubbing just never seem do the original cast, characters and/or settings justice whether a live action film or animated film.
Now as for this ... bird? lol I'm amazed with just about anyone who can actually make something out of science fiction perform at all. Granted my Oowashi and Hayabusa were both inspired by a sci-fi/fantasy game supplement which never went to print - but those were inspired initially by real world designs anyway. I've considered building other sci-fi inspired builds but keep getting caught up in historical setting builds. XD

@Liquidfox Have a link to the old one, I made this like, 3 or so months ago, uploaded it unlisted yesterday for someone to look at.
@Liquidfox Original version? I never uploaded my first attempt at this, or are you referring to something else?
