The Bebop was a spacecraft featured in the 1998 anime series "Cowboy Bebop." The story is set in the 2070s, where most of the solar system has been colonized and connected via an intra-system hypergate network. A terraformed Mars has become the center of human civilization after a disaster on the Moon left most of Earth nearly uninhabitable. The Bebop was crewed by a trio of bounty hunters, (referred to as "cowboys"), and consisted of ex-syndicate hitman Spike Spiegel, former Inter-Solar System Police agent Jet Black, and the con-artist Faye Valentine. An eccentric child computer hacker, Edward and the genetically-engineered Welsh Corgi, Ein, round out the rest of the team. The Bebop's boat-shaped hull allowed the ship to land in water and function as a watercraft. It carried at least three other vehicles: Spike's "Swordfish II" mono-racer, Faye's "Red Tail" assault craft, and Jet's "Hammerhead" flying utility vehicle. I've seen a couple of 3d models of the Bebop's vehicles, but none really of the ship itself, so I decided to take a crack at it. I built the ship by eye, using no blueprints, just a couple of rather crappy screenshots from the show that I found. I think the wings appear a little wider than they should, so she's not exact, but close enough I think. Also this was more practice modeling organic shapes. #anime #Bebop #Cowboy #freighter #Japanese #manga #scifi #series #spacecraft #spaceship #starship #transport
