No, the one from 2007 was before the new animated series, this one is based off the version that is currently airing. It's a cool kit, but very expensive, total it's like $2,000 and the Bandai kits are generally more detailed.

I don't think QMx is working with the company that did the ship replicas anymore. Maybe it was a situation that they weren't selling, that stuff was very expensive

I think if Bandai decides to do more prequel ships then the LAAT is likely, but I'm not sure how much they're considering prequel kits at all. The Jango Fett Slave I was done since it's not that different from the Boba version.

It depends on the type of stuff you're printing. For smaller high detail stuff an SLA printer is good. I use the Form2

The main thing is that if you use a polygonal modeling software like Blender/Modo/3ds Max/Maya you will have to make sure that any rounded surfaces have a lot of polygons since you will see faceting if there isn't enough density. For software like Rhino or Solidworks it converts it to a...

Blender can do it if you want something free that can do advanced modeling But realistically, if you want to do something advanced it's going to take some practice with a good software to get to that point. Modo might be another option for you if you can spend some money. There's also some...

Right, the big differences you see are the paneling that is fully modeled and the nicer more highly detailed engines and the nicer and more highly detailed landing gear.

The CG model only had more detail vs the TV version, no major changes were made to fit the interior better. They did do some stuff to the set, but the necessary points that need to line up (the bridge and the mess hall, due to windows) don't line up still.

This guy has a bunch of photos of the 1/8th scale model they used in the film: https://www.flickr.com/photos/toromodel/albums/72157619782799904

Honestly I'd like to do a kit at some point, but it'd be a lot of work. Also, I'm not sure about the licensing thing, it'd be best to get a license just in case, but I'm not sure Universal would bother for a small run of kits.

That is really gross, try to get your money back and see how it goes. It's not anywhere near worth $500

If it hasn't shipped yet, I'd see if you can cancel it, it's not worth $500 and the listing description is wrong anyway. QMx has a $300 replica with an interior cutaway that's nicer if you simply want a Serenity model, it's not as good as their big replica but it's still nice.

I think you're thinking of some pots and pans that had a silhouette of the ship, probably not intentional I don't think the QMx replica fully existed at the time.

Looks like it's that one.

Thanks guys!
