Serenity Big Damn Replica Studio Scale Replica
The ultimate collector’s item for any Serenity fan! Damn big and impressive! Extremely detailed, nothing overlooked! Limited edition! Celebrated by millions of fans around the world, the titular ship of Joss Whedon’s visionary movie masterpiece, Serenity , has existed in all its glory in digital form only- until now. More than three years in the making, Serenity- The Big Damn Replica, has been painstakingly crafted to be absolutely screen-accurate in every aspect. Unlike most ships from science fiction, Serenity was designed from the ground up to be as realistic as possible, from her floor plan to her construction, using real-world components and manufacturing processes. As one of her creators observed, the idea was to make Serenity so real, fans could see themselves walking her decks. With such a sense of place and familiarity, viewers would never feel lost in this Firefly-Class Transport. When it came time to develop this replica, we could do no less. Every bolt, every seam and every asymmetrical plate has been recreated with exacting attention to detail in this first and only screen-accurate replica of Serenity. Years of intense effort have gone into all aspects of this model, from the model sculpture built from the movie special effects master files to the paint job created to match not just the colors of the ship, but the materials as well. The Big Damn Replica will be a limited edition of only 1,000 pieces worldwide! This hefty item weighs an impressive 24 pounds and comes packaged in a collectible specialized crate that measures 16-inches tall x 12-inches wide x 24-inches long. The features of Serenity- The Big Damn Replica: Serenity measures 7-inches tall x 12-inches wide x 19-inches long or 1:180 scale (display stand adds 4 1/2-inches in height) Incredible complexity. The kit used to build Serenity consists of more than 250 parts, including resin, brass, aluminum and laser-cut acrylic. Many of the parts are custom-cut by hand! Film-quality build. Some 30 different colors, including flat and metallic paint, are used in the ship’s multilayer paint job Spitting image. Weathering, wear and other painting effects are used to exactly mirror the movie version of ship. Superior components. Surfaces are crafted to simulate real-world materials- metal, ceramic, even the mirrored surfaces of the solar panels. No decals. All graphics on Serenity are painted on by hand, even Serenity’s logo. SFX Edition. Serenity- The Big Damn Replica incorporates some 32 lighting effects, including static, flashing, strobe and chase lights Signature Edition. Nathan Fillion, Captain Mal himself, will be signing the builder’s plaque that comes with each Big Damn Replica Wireless remote. The SFX Edition replica includes a wireless remote control to operate lights with a special button for activating “hard burn.” Lighting system automatically shuts down after 15 minutes to help protect the both the lights and model. Cool display. Sere
