Cool, thanks for your work on this!

I thought the area that had couches was an area that is seen, the corridor leading up to the bridge. I think the couches were removed before anything was actually shot there (or there might have been minor reshoots). On one of the commentaries, either "Serenity" or TTJ, Joss mentions that the other ladder doesn't lead anywhere we've seen, and is in fact nebulous so that it could be an area of further exploration later in the series.

If I remember rightly, Nathan and Joss were discussing the now missing couches during "Serenity". Thought they said they were right in front of the pilot's console.
As for the ladder going down in the nose, I would think a bathroom for the pilot. Don't want him hunting down an available facility if he's meant to be flying the ship.

Greetings! I am a newbie here at FFF and thought I'd jump in with certain recklessness.
I am in the process of making a model of the Serenity and thus have done a bunch'a research on the Firefly class.
So, I thought I would lend my techno-geek talents to your endeavor.
Here is my first offering ...

My sincerest apologies for the GIGANTIC size of the pic ... I'll reduce it and put up the smaller one soon.
And yes, I stole it from the DVD ... Just wanted to let you know I don' mind admitin' to a bit of petty thievery 
I also got the wireframe Serenity and a bunch of screencaps of the ships interior (pristine - no actors etc) from the "Serenity-the tenth character" short.
I hope ya like it my Browncoat brethren! Let me know whatcha think.

I was hoping someone would get that schematic off the DVD! Thanks CapnRahn!
From listening to the DVD, I had interpreted the couch area the way that Dither and Kernelm did - that it was an area on the set but not part of the ship.
The bathroom makes a lot of sense, Dither. Hadn't thought of that. I've got to re-watch Objects in Space to see if both Jayne and Mal are coming up the ladder or just one (possibly the bathroom has multiple capacity).
Whatever it is, it's got to be self-contained to the bridge like LittleXander suggests since Saffron sealed off just the one door in Our Mrs. Reynolds (I don't think the camera ever panned off her during that sequence after she knocked out Wash so she couldn't have locked a door leading down).
Thanks all for answering a newbie question. After looking at the schematic, another one cropped up. In Heart of Gold, Kaylee and Wash seal the trespassers in the back hall and Wash effectively traps himself in the engine room. Isn't there another way out of the back hall leading to the catwalk? And how did Kaylee and Wash get to the Dining area when the bad guys were on the catwalk?
It's times like these I wish I could run around the actual set :)

About how Kaylee and Wash get past the baddies on the catwalk, there's a set of stairs next to the infirmary. Adam Baldwin mentions them as a place he used to sit, and as having been used when he was carrying Kaylee up to the engine room with Book in "Serenity" (if that was the title of the pilot, I don't rightly recall at the moment) Not sure where they're supposed to come out, but it's got to be a shortcut to the engine room. Can't see Jayne carrying anyone further than he absolutely has to.

I have no idea how they sealed the badguys, as there is indeed a 3rd exit there(which doesn't have a visible door, however as evidenced in out of gas the stairways between decks can be sealed off somehow)
The back hall has an exit at the engine room, dining room, and midway through a staircase that heads to the infirmy(sp?) area(its that staircase) They use that staircase all the time in various eps, some examples that come to mind are in bushwhacked thats where mal leads the troops, as previously mentioned in the pilot, and the "special hell" sequence in OMR.(there are plenty more, just random examples)

No worries and my pleasure!
Here is another tid bit from the Serenity short ... hopefully I won't have to resize this one
This should be the most accurate side view, as it looks like the 'wireframe' that was made by 'zoic (the CGI folks that did the EXCELLENT wrok on both Firefly and Battlestar Galatica 2003)
I skimmed around the site here a bit, but dinna find a better place to post BIG pics ... Is there page or submenu for just art that I am missing?
Heh, meebe the techno's of us here ought to request a tech section - called Kaylee's room or somesuch. My imagination is a bit faulty at the moment, so pardon my lack of it.

Ah good, thanks CapnRahn for pullin that off the DVD. That's what I hand-drew over the course of an hour with it paused on my tv, and then I posted this thread to show it to you all, and my scanner broke. Was feelin real bad for lettin' everybody down, but then Maniac came to the rescue with his own deck plans! And now CapnRahn even has what I was going to originally post, I love this little online community we got goin.
