Built a set of Firefly/Serenity Pistols

Serenity/Firefly “Aim to misbehave kit”

I bought a set of Firefly/Serenity models from Wilesco on Ebay. I put them together and posted photos to my flickr account.

Mals Pistol:

Looks like a 1851 or 1858 Remington revolver, or Colt Buntline blackpowder revolver, with a clip instead of a cylinder. I’ve read that the one of the mock-ups in the show was built around a snub nosed “taurus model 85″ pistol. This is a very sturdy model, and is suitable for cosplay. I would love to make a bronze copy of this.  It would be heavy to carry, but would also feel more like a real pistol.

Jayne’s Pistol:

The “Jayne” gun is based on a real 19th century confederate officers pistol lmgtfy.com/?q=lemat+revolver.

The body of the pistol is built from two parts, with the cylinder on a post. I bought a metal replica of the Lemat revolver, and will dress it up like this. I’d rather have a sturdy one to cosplay with. The resin one will remain on display at home.

The kit also came with a grenade, and a walkie talkie/communicator. You can get your kit at Wilco models on ebay.
