Firefly creator Joss Whedon once described the titular ship as the 10th character of the sci-fi TV series. The Firefly-class ship Serenity is much more than mere transportation to her crew: She is home, a refuge and a darned fine getaway vehicle.

Without her corridors and cabins, her crew would have no place to be a family. Serenity brings them together in a way that makes her perhaps the most important character in the show.

So here's a chance to get to know her better. At 12 inches long, the Serenity Cutaway Replica is 1:250 scale.  We've more than doubled the exterior detail of the replica and delivered an even more elaborate, screen-accurate paint job. Like our LDH Serenity, the Cutaway Serenity replica was created using the original 3-D effects files from the TV show, ensuring maximum accuracy for its scale.

But the real fun starts when you lift the upper hull sections, which attach securely to the lower half of the model using magnets. You can view the cockpit, main corridor and galley furnished with chairs, consoles, rugs and storage lockers. All the key elements of those sets are reproduced in the model, with some of the interior details measuring barely two millimeters.

The Serenity Cutaway Replica is made of polystone resin and is comprised of more than 200 hand-painted parts. It includes a premium display stand that will allow you to show off your favorite boat with pride.

Expected to ship by the end of Q2 2014, the Serenity Cutaway Replica is being offered in a numbered, limited edition of 2,000.
