Ok after much deliberation I decided to go with the original shuttle but then decided to modify it somewhat. the cockpit pretty much stays the same but the rear is going thru some major changes.
Ok, its been a while, we just had a new addition to our family so life has been a little crazy. Finally got the shuttle complete as a model & now in the process of texturing. I will probably go for a dirty white & orange paint job. This one ended up with more detail than I originally intended.
That's a really cool design littlekiwi :thumb: It looks better to me than the Serenity itself ! The only part that looks a bit strange to me are the cables behind the cockpit - maybe add some plating to cover them or some more greebles so that they aren't so exposed.

Same for me, and congratulation for the "new addition" :-)
is the Shuttle your own Design? i do not remember it being so "fat" in the back section, from what i know about how it looked in the show and movie (btw i have the enitre collection including the graphic novel) it was more the Shape of a Beetle or Roach.
the rear section seemed to resemble that of the front with a few differences of course :P
Well i said there would be characters based on the guys I work with & in a more cartoon style. So heres the first test shots of our Captain (my boss) in his umpa lumpa uniform. These have just the color map applied no bump or spec/reflect yet except for the face which still need tweaking.
Wow the interior of the shuttle is really impressive :thumb: The character looks a bit strange for such realistic models but it's awesome so far. Can't wait to see more even though Firefly/Serenity isn't my favourite sci-fi (I'm not saying that it's bad though !)
Wow after some serious time rigging characters complete with face controls & synoptics I have only 2 characters built. But the rest should go fairly easy from here. I may start a new post once all the Characters are built and its time for story development.

Sweet design! I do want to tackle building the Serenity at some point in time, but I am thinking of maybe doing the Starship from Avatar next
I'm sure it's been said, she's a Firefly-class ship named, Serenity, chosen by Mal, agreed to by Zoe, for the Battle of Serenity Valley.
Browncoats Rule!
