I'd like to see it!

Updated! Improved! Shiny!

Lol, ok then just for you. Just don't expect nothing spectacular!

Registered and uploaded the pictures OK so far I think. Hopefully, you should be able to see them at:

PS. The paintwork isn't very good - I was going from memory and I didn't have much paint left. Was scrounging from the old pots that I had when I was younger lol :D

Well folks, let's just take a minute to think about what it would really take to get a Serenity model to market. The process is pretty straitforward. We need some good drawings of the ship (int/ext) and good photos would also work.

Then we need to determine scale and level of detail. Then comes the hard part. How to fit the parts together. This will require input from experienced model builders. Of course there will be a wish list. Retractable landing gear, lights, operating cargo doors, rotatable engines, etc. Depending on scale, these features can be found on aircraft models.

But first and foremost must be a business plan. What is the market? If you seriously want to see a mass-market Serenity model, think about how the investors will make money.

For the record, I like the show and the movie. But no one is going to it for free.
If you are interested; let's talk.

I have a free paper model without textures.

It is almost 3 feet long and scaled for use with 25 mm TTGs. Takes aprox 70 sheets of paper...

Well, Monsters in Motion ( www.monstersinmotion.com) has a six inch model coming out. They bill it as a decoration, (like maybe a Christmas tree decoration). You can pre-order it with a release date of April. Now, this is not what I had invisioned, but something is better than nothing. Also, I heard that they are waiting to see if this model sells to determine what the market is for a better/bigger one. So, everyone get that model!!!!.

Does anyone have access to a 3-D printing system and an AutoCad to run it? If so you could run the plans that someone has made then make a scale model of it on the 3-D printing system and then paint it over.

It already exists!!

There is a company called "comet Miniatures"in the UK who make sci-fi models and generally specialise in that sort of thing. Currently they have a (pricy) version of the serenity firefly ship available, but a cheaper one will be available in June:

Ive actually had an odd idea to make it one of my goals in life to construct a working, fully identical vessel to Serenity, probably going overboard, but by the time I have enough cash flowing, thrust technology should be sufficient enough to lift a bird like Serenity off the ground. Although it will probably never happen, it would be awesome to see a 'Firefly' lift off :)

Never give up 'til your heart stops beating.
