Cowboy Bebop - Spike's Jericho 941 - WIP

[Grey]

Here's an image I took of my gun + kit. It's interesting how comfortable the custom grips actaully feel.

Just to clear up a possible point of confusion, Poseidon made two Spike kits. One was a solid cast resin gun, which had Poseidon trades, and the other was a conversion kit for the Jericho made by Hudson. The solid cast gun has no divot for the slide satfey. You can't find the conversion kit on their website anymore.

--- Thanks to ImageShack these images are now gone.

This is one of those projects I've been wanting to do try and do forever using one of the Cybergun Jericho 941 airsoft guns(which are much easier to get hold of).

The Cybergun Jericho is certainly easier to get and cheaper. It has really bad trades, though. The Jericho logo is silkscreened in white and it's missing the other trades.

If anyone is interested i've scanned the artwork from my Poseidon kit.

My buddy just bought a real version of one of these. He says it's pretty nice. It's in .40cal though, whereas Spike's is in 9mm.
Doesn't seem pretty hard to modify a real one. Just the custom grips and added laser, which is legal.

Just a small update. The mag plates have been designed in Gibbs. just need the right steel plate (on order) and those will be underway. Going to have my Jericho's frame scanned so it can be uploaded in Solidworks and can design the grips right off the frame. Turns out my teacher owns a Jericho himself. he likes the grip design and wants a set for his too.

Will you be selling these once you have the design worked out? I would love the grip and mag plates.

The laser would be awesome to have. Shouldn't be too hard to fit a laser in the case. I would buy a solid cast of the laser as well if you were willing.

 

[Stormer]

interested if you ever make these thanks

 

[Sandman0077]

Any update on this? Still interested.

 

[FSURobbie]

Love me some Cowboy Bebop, also interested...

Ah you bought one of the solid-cast kits? I believe the laser is a seperate piece on those so you should have some luck there, but the grips (if you somehow cast them off this solid piece) won't fit on a real Jericho, or replica for that matter.

I think his plan is to replicate them using 3d modeling software and have them made somewhere.

but the grips (if you somehow cast them off this solid piece) won't fit on a real Jericho, or replica for that matter.

Why is that? Surly it can be modified.
