And in one of Jewel's blogs, she says "Our whole ship is built in there. The whole first level—cargo bay, infirmary, bunks, etc. and the second level—engine room, aft deck, dining room, foredeck, and the bridge.
The portion of the set that I saw is the "Level 2" that Jewel refers to. I believe that each "level" of the set were built on ground level, like side by side, in different parts of the soundstage. Level 1 was already gone when I was in there, and the Level 2 set was still wholly intact but they had started taking things off the set like the props, computer panels, etc.

Nice pic, great job. Now I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that's a Reaver ship. Also just cause it looks like a two seater here doesn't mean after all the FX is added that it's not a mile long dreadnaught! I can't wait to find out in the BDM!
Ahh, good point about the size. It's an awful big model, then!! I was thinking they were going to have some outdoor human-on-the-outisde-hull type of greenscreen work, hence the my assumption of the size of the ship. This sucker is something like 25 feet long in reality.

Thanks for posting the pic of the other ship. Very interesting design. Seems to be some sort of military intercept type ship. Wonder if it had or will have wings. Looks like a two seater cockpit. Maybe room for a squad of infantry in the belly.

My guess on the ship is that it is the Operative's, much like Jubal Early had a smallish ship.

The first thing I thought when I saw your pic was, "That's a Reaver ship!" - and I felt a twinge in the pit of my stomach. I can't locate a screen cap right now, but think about the view we get of the Reaver ship in FF. It is seen from the front since it is chasing Serenity, but I'd swear that's the same type of ship you captured in your photo. I think Joss' DVD commentary specifically pointed out that Reaver ships are asymmetrical to emphasize how far over the edge they've gone. Does this ship look asymmetrical? Yeah. It's got "spikes" (?) coming off the port side, but not off the starboard side.
Why are you still arguing what's been decided?

Looking at the pic above, and having seen the gag reel from the movie that Adam Baldwin showed at Dragon Con where this ship was shown rolling down a California road, I don't think it is a Reaver ship. It is too small for Reavers, and appears to be in too good a state of repair. The cockpit area does not appear to be much larger than that of an Apache helicopter, so it appears it would only seat two people. There may be a small interior compartment for people, but I think it unlikely.
I think it might very well be the Operative's ship. It appears to be built for speed to pursue quarry or make a fast get away.

I know which clip you're talking about. Everyone seemed to laugh at the shot of that ship rolling down the road. Wasn't it chasing them while they were on the new mule? Anyway, I never quite got what was so funny about that scene. Maybe it just went by too quickly for me. But I guess we'll just have to see the movie to figure out what this ship is. Think we should do that? I don't know. I'm not sure I'm interested. ;-P

The scene from the gag reel was funny because the ship was wobbling pretty badly as it rolled down the road. It looked as if the ship was about to come apart or lose a wheel or two. That and it was moving about as fast a slow walk.

I am soooo envious Khazara! Props for the pic. Can some one give a link for the vid clip you are all talking about? I am new here. I managed to catch just 2 eps of FireFly on fox before it was discontinued. It was enough. The day I saw the DVD, I nearly fell down. Anyway, I have seen them all now. (in fact, I didn't watch the last 2 unaired episodes for months because I didn't want to "run out" of fresh episodes!) Then I found this site. Just waiting for the movie now!
I was lucky. The first I ever saw of FireFly was Kaylee getting passengers onboard firefly before they leave Persephone. Turns out that was supposed to be the first one. Seeing the Train Job first would have been weird.
One more thing. Is this Joss's first feature film? I ask because there was Buffy movie before the series.

Welcome to the board Daemionsos. Glad to have you with us.
The gag reel we are talking about is not online anywhere. Adam showed it to us at Dragon Con in Atlanta last month.
