QMx Shows off Movie quality Gigantic Serenity Ship Replica

I liked Firefly when it was on the air, but I wasn’t a rabid fan like some people. If you find yourself in the latter category, check out this gigantic Serenity replica from QMx. This is the biggest Serenity replica it has made so far at 1:124 scale.

The film-scale replica is based on the filming miniature that had a length of 26.5″, width of 17″, and a height of 7.5″. It has an aluminum and steel internal structure and more than 100 LED lights on the outside.

The beast was handmade by artisans from QMx, and you can check out pics of the build over on Facebook.

There is no word on how much it would cost, but it is safe to say a lot. Yeah, I want one pretty bad and the only downside I see is it’s probably too big to hold while running around the house making spaceship noises.

Qmx Reveals Star Trek into Darkness U.S.S. Vengeance Replica

Holy Wrath of Khan, this is an amazingly detailed ship! QMx has created a replica of the U.S.S. Vengeance in honor of the 2013 blockbuster Star Trek Into Darkness. This Dreadnought is a 1:1600 scale model and the largest replica starship by QMx to date.

Not that size matters. This thing is awesome no matter what. The display base is mirrored too. It is outfitted with 100 LEDs that are remote-controlled, along with weapons, warp, impulse and running lights. It also plays sounds.

It takes about 200 hours and six model makers to create just one of these. Only 100 will ever be made, and each one is available for a whopping $9,995(USD). QMx is also planning a collector’s model, which will be a true replica, though smaller in size and with less features. That will cost you $100(USD).
