Serenity July 6 2005

Hey how about another insane project? Insane in the sense that this would normally take about a year but I have set a deadline of Sept 29th 2005. This model is the ship called "Serenity" from the short lived TV show Firefly. A movie of this show is coming out on Sept 30 and I hope to have it done by then.

Is there a possibility I will make a kit of the ship when I am finished. Unknown at this point. The model will be fairly large so the moulds would cost quite a bit. It would also take loads of resin so it would not be cheap.

Although I will be trying to do something every day I can not update the web site each day. So if this is not updates for a few days do not despair. Hopefully within a few days there will be more photos.

My hand for a size reference. I will most likely cast this so I can finish it up for the engine body section
