Yeah, I wonder if they're still around...kind of a bummer if not, but still cool to see that a big, beautiful physical model still exists (am I wrong or did most people not know of this? I'd always heard there was just one dinky simple one for the crash and the rest was CG, not a huge and detailed piece) as a possible subject for intrepid studio scalers.

Pretty cool--they didn't do a bad job with the construction--but they really lacked the paint job, they even forgot the Serenity logo on the side. Should have also secured the top onto the cargo hold better since you can see it rattling in the movie when it crashes.


I'm surprised that QMx would have thought it was a rumor that there was a miniature--it's been documented and pretty obvious just from watching the movie

Yeh. I always assumed that was a model shot; if it wasn't they'd have had to have put in extra work to make it look like one, because it does.

The port engine was the one torn off in the crash, right?

Great model, IMO. I'm not a real fan of the ship but have this hankering for it nonetheless, like stuffed olives. Anyway, would LOVE to see more of this.

The port was indeed the one ripped off

The text there is very strange. You're right, Viper - it's not "rumored" that there was a miniature - it's actually discussed in the features on the Special Edition DVD & Blu Ray. People actually mention the crash being an elaborate model shot.

(though, reading it again, the bulk of the text at that link does indeed seem to have come from QMx reps, and they have gotten things utterly wrong before, so...)

Surprised to see that it still exists and looks so good. I wish I could hug it. :lol

Reading the QMx post they don't say anything about wondering what is was made for, guess it was just the io9 post

It's been too long I think now---But I wonder if anything will be done for the anniversary this year--it's been 10 years!
