Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't find any mention of scale on this laser-cut kit's assembly tutorial: link I sure hope it's something compatible with 15mm. Thoughts? Thanks Dan

PS. This might give some idea of the size of the one actually used in the film Serenity (2005):

From the link under details After making the Serenity Suncatcher, I realised I needed to make the other classic ship from Firefly; the Mule.Not to the same scale as the sun catcher, the Mule is a desk-top model, somewhere for the Browncoat in your life to leave their pocket-change. so it's larger than 15mm |

It's using 3mm MDF board, so looks to be about 4" long overall. That's more 28mm than 15mm scale, but since the print files are free you could probably mess with print size and use 1.5mm MDF. |

Wow. Good point! Thanks Dan |

Well he provides a DXF and PDF file so you can rescale it. If I use this picture: link Nathan Fillion is 74" tall, in the picture he is about 2" tall and the skiff is 8" long with my monitor. I estimate it should be ~24 feet long… so about 1/48 scale… so rescale by 50% |

Maybe, though it only looks about three Joss Whedon's long to me |

At the Etsy site: link This model – entirely fan-produced – is a 105mm (4") long ornament.
PDF link
126px is 4 feet
377px wide
177px wide bed
basic length is 554px or 4(554/126) = 17.6 feet or 5.36 meters
If the model is 105mm or 0.105 meters the scale is 0.105/5.36 or 1/51th scale |

A bit too big for my stuff then. :) Dan |

In your original posting: You linked to a page that included the parts in PDF and a few other formats. Here is the PDF again:
PDF link If you are going for 15mm then about 1/100 scale, reduce the size to 50% of original and you have that size.
You could paste the printout onto card-stock and cut it out.
Maybe a bit crude but not a bad facsimile. I just made a reduction in the size, let me know if I can send you a copy. |
