Been searching but all I found was a not so great small model and a very expensive 19" SS model.
Anyone taken this on yet.

There is no "SS" that small. This ship was all CG, other than the REALLY HUGE model from the movie.
There's the Big Damn Replica, which is what it says on the box. It's I guess the 19" one you mentioned. (Dang, I thought that thing was supposed to be over 3 feet at some point?)
There is also a quite large - 3 foot-ish - fibreglass kit from a guy called Ron Shanko. Unfortunately there was some drama, in which I'm sorry to say I played a small part. He can't be found around here any more; I know he sold some kits over on SM, don't know if he can still be found there.
If you track one down, study good pictures of it before you buy. Some owners are very happy with theirs but the mastering does not meet everyone's expectations. It may not be your cup of tea.
There are also a couple of nice paper models around the web here and there.
That SS is really nice but for the price I would want a 3 footer at least like you mentioned. That much for a 19" model is just too much.
Thanks for the info. I guess I will need to wait until someone takes it on again.
It's so weird they did all CG except for the crash scene that they still enhanced with CG.
Here is a pic of mine..kit was offered by Alex Kung (I'm sure he's a member) a few years ago.
I think the SS version was like 8 feet long, so it probably won't ever be done.
The Reaverized model from the crash scene was 12-feet long. QMx recently found it again in storage: Gallery: 12-Foot Serenity Filming Miniature | QMx Online

I found this the other day. Awesome reference pics. I wish they would let someone fix it and un reaverize it.Serenity said:

Could you tell me how big it is and do you mind if I ask how much the kit was?
It's about 12" long...think it was under $100. I believe he has since redone the cockpit interior.
If it helps... i have the "this is what it looks like" model they used in the development process, and a movie-shuttle model.
Building Serenity with any kind of close attention to detail is a MAJOR undertaking. AK took 1-2 YEARS to do his 13" (I think it was) model, which turned out real nice. I actually started work on one what would have been around 25" or so a few years ago- built the rear engine-cone before I decided to wait for the QMx version instead and I'm glad that I did!
People are having mixed reactions to the smaller Qmx version. Some have great copies and others have versions will crooked struts.
Huh? Err... in the SHOW it was CGI and in the movie it was mostly CGi but this thread is about what models are available...bondfan2000 said:
Paper Serenity Reaver is now ready for download, English instructions will follow but for those of you that want it now, and have built one before, then it should be possible to build from existing instructions and my photos.
Enjoy
