Serenity Model
Wednesday, June 16, 2004

I know some people have modeled Serenity using various computer programs but does anyone know if anybody has made any attempt to actually scratch build a real model. I am determined to have a go myself and make something at least a foot long and would just apreciate any useful information from previous attempts

Greetings All :-)

Well....I've actually made a Start on my Serenity Model (Scratch-Built 1:72 Scale, which will make her roughly 80cm Long).... and while I'm not going to have her Finished anytime soon (least of all in time for The Movie), I would still like to get some Assistance Re: Details

Running Lights: On the Pictures I have, I can see a Red Light on the
Port Engine, a Green Light on the Starboard Engine, and a White Light on the Top of that 'Central Dome' thing, as well as what appear to be White Lights in the Corners of that Rectangle on the Bottom of Serenity, and on the Bottom and Rear of the Main Engine. Also, I can see a Red Light on what appears to be the Top of the
Starboard Shuttle

Other Lights: There's Red Flashing Lights in the Main Hold (at the Top)

Main Engine: Lights up Bright Yellow

Part Just Before The Main Engine: No idea what it is, but it has White Lights, and it Turns (Actually, that Turning bit might be the most Difficult Part of the Model)

Other Details....

Landing Gear: I have a Rough Sketch of the Landing Gear, but it would be nice to get a Better Picture, and some Idea of Exactly where they go

Solar Panels: I Count....Two on the Starboard of the Bridge, One on each Side of the 'Neck', One Above the Port Shuttle, One on each Side of the Main Ship, Under each Wing

Docking Latches??: I Count Two on each Side, at the Base of the 'Neck', Two on the Bottom of each 'Skid', Four on each Side of the 'Neck' (just above the Solar Panel)

Windows: I Count, Bridge, the Front of that 'Central Dome' thing, the Back of that 'Central Dome' thing, and Each Shuttle

There's bound to be some stuff I've missed....that's where other People come in :-)

If there's any Detail I've Missed, then Feel Free to Point it out :-D If possible, in Terms of the Detail, I'd like Placement Guide as well

Thanks

If you are going to make a model then you are going to have to make a mold of ever single piece then put then together. If you want some help then you can e-mail me at westexastar@earthlink.net

HELL'S KITTEN


I've commissioned one. It'll be 2 to 3 feet long, complete with lights and a motor for the engine... I'm hoping it'll be done in time for the show in Chicago. I'll try to remember to post pics when I get her... :)

Hee hee well it's not exactly what you mean but I made a Micro Machine sized Serenity out of FIMO modelling clay lol. Put it in the oven and it came out real strong. It's not too bad considering I've never made a model in my life.

I would like to point out for the sake of my social life that I was very bored at the time lol.

The paint scheme isn't right though lol.
