Serenity – The Big Damn Replica

[Geekyfanboy]

I thought I posted a thread about this.. but I can't seem to find it so I'll post another one.

I have been waiting for this for a long time.. and it looks like it was well worth the wait.



Follow the link and there are various pictures and video of it... it's so BEAUTIFUL...

Here's some more info...

Some of the features of Serenity – The Big Damn Replica:


One big boat. Our Serenity measures 19"x12"x7", or 1:180 scale. (stand adds 4.5")

Incredible complexity. The kit used to build Serenity consists of more than 250 parts, including resin, brass, aluminum and laser-cut acrylic.

Film-quality build. Some 30 different colors, including flat and metallic paint, are used in the ship's multilayer paint master.

Spitting image. Weathering, wear and other painting effects are designed to exactly mirror the movie version of ship.

Superior components. Surfaces are crafted to simulate real-world materials – metal, ceramic, even the mirrored surfaces of the solar panels.

No decals. All graphics on Serenity are painted on by hand.

SFX Edition. Our SFX Edition incorporates some 32 lighting effects, including static, flashing, strobe and chase lights.

Wireless remote. The SFX Edition replica includes a wireless remote control to operate lights with a separate button for activating "hard burn." Lighting system includes automatic 15-minute shutoff to help protect the both the lights and model.

Cool display. Serenity's display base/diorama looks like a landing pad straight out of The Verse. It comes with an acrylic cradle that shows Serenity in flight. Standard configuration features Inara's shuttle taking off while the other shuttle is docked in its bay.

Big Damn Heroes. Eight crew members can be seen on the bridge.

Pro Prop Crate. Each Serenity is shipped in custom-cut foam and stored in a hand-built wooden apple crate, just like what the pros use to safeguard their props.

As with all QMx Artisan replicas, Serenity – The Big Damn Replica is made to order in the U.S. by special-effects artists (who build models for movies when they're not working on our replicas). Not only does this allow us to offer you a replica of great intricacy and beauty, it also allows you to make your Serenity uniquely your own.


Options available for customization include:

Engines pose (Crazy Ivan, anyone?)

Shuttles in-flight or docked.

Captain's name on the builder's plaque.

SFX or standard (non-lit) version (lighting system is optional).

Reactor shutters open or closed.

Sad though I wanted to fly around my room going wooosh wooosh

[Geekyfanboy]

Saw both the light up one and the standard one at Comic Con and they are magnificent.. the detail is unbelievable.. made me want one even more. I did hear a rumor that the SFX one that lights up may cost about $1500 but I hope that's not true as I couldn't spend that much on one piece.

I'll admit it. I got the "ManCrush" on Mr. Fillion....  but I sure would like mine to be "blessed by Morena.
