I didn't read all the posts but as far down as I read I noticed my thoughts weren't posted yet. Sorry in advance if I was just too impantient to scroll down.

Anyways, I don't really think the outside of the ship is much to look at. It's old and beat up, but that's not why we love Serenity is it? Of course not! I love the inside of the ship though, what a genious design. So I forgive the big butt of the Firefly.

That said, I would live on the ship, it's open and has plenty of space for being a spaceship. The ship is unique though, you can't say you've ever seen a ship like it and I think that's another reason why we love it. It's new and original. Also, every time we see Serenity in the episodes or in the movie, there's a really good reason for it, and anyone thinking outloud says, "what an awesome ship!", am I wrong? Well just my thoughts. Hope I brought on a new perspective.

Serenity shows exactly what I would have for a ship.

First off let me say I'm from Texas, so my ideal house would a a double-wide on 300 acres of land, a small ranch, with a beat up Ford F-350 deisel 4x4.

Which makes serenity perfect for me. She's beat up, not much to look at, but perfect the way she is. She might not be the prettiest, sleekest, or fastest, but thats what makes her perfect. Shes like a beat up old truck, she will last forever. All the imperfections are just beauty marks.

The fact that she wont let you down makes her home, and the fact that you might have to fix a part on her makes her yours. You dont realise how much you love something you own till you fix her up yourself just the way you want her.

Welcome home, Stormfalcon70
and Oddsbodskins.
We like to provide coats and
strawberries to the newcomers
and de-lurkers.
So here's a little basket of
berries for each of you, and
a pair of invites up to the
galley for the traditional
Questioning of the Buffet.

When I think of Firefly or
Serenity I always picture the
galley with its warm amber glow
(see photo on home page -- great
wallpaper!) and the laughter
echoing in memory.

If I wanted to build the 195'
ship on my lot I'd have to put
it on the diagonal and bribe a
few city officials into allowing
me to violate some setback rules.

H'mmmm.
*thinks about it*

Y'all don't be strangers now, y'hear?

I agree, she's not sleek but she has a beauty and character of her own, and I fell in love with her right away.

So much so....I want one of my own! lol

(seriously, isn't it about time we got some nice models of the ship to grace our shelves/desks?)

I love the KOTOR games too. I'd also like an Ebon Hawk....

There are two model kits of Serenity out there. I'm still working on the paper model (which is free, btw) http://www.chihuahuadepapel.com/ingles.htm and scroll down on the left until you find it. The instructions are in spanish, but they're not to difficult to figure out.

The other one is a bit more expensive. A resin kit can be found at http://www.starshipmodeler.com/cfstore/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.di
splay&Product_ID=580

for $85.00.

Oh, if you don't want to have to build it, there's an ornament at http://www.tfaw.com/Profile/Serenity-Ornament___217120?qt=ssda
It's not actually for sale yet, but you can pre-order it.

And yes, she's gorgeous. 'Course, I thought the Millenium Falcon was pretty cool, too. And she's the "Fastest Hunk-a-junk in the galaxy." But Serenity definitely beats her out.
