SERENITY - Dec 1 2005
Well back to the top of the wings. This is the 3rd time I believe I have reworded this area
The first layer is glued on
Minor imperfections are fixed up before the second layer is put on
Putty
Putty dried and all cleaned up
Second layer added. Pretty eh?
Some clean up needed but I think it looks good
A bit fuzzy but these will be the skylight windows
Starting the cutting out process. Boring and time consuming
I just checked and I have been working on this model for 145 days. I missed the century mark which now seems so long ago. Now I know why there has not been a fairly accurate aftermarket kit of this ship. There has been 2 paper models being done and they are looking good.
I wonder if the design team made the ship this complex on purpose?
Well it appears that the majority of the big stuff is done. I just now have to add the surface details.
I did see a photo of a huge physical model they used for the crash sequence in the movie. Wow that thing looked good. I wonder what happened to that once the shooting was finished.
I decided to get a brass plaque made up. On it will be all the actors names and Joss of course. A couple of friends are going to the Flanvention convention and 8 of the actors will be there. Gina and Joss will not be there. It has cost quite a bit but I am going to have my friend get the actors to sign the brass plaque.
I will then place this on the base of the model when I am finished. I am not an autograph person but I thought this would be a very neat way to display the model.
