Serenity's 'Flying Mule' UPDATE 6/4/08

[Lord Thrawn]

EDIT 6/4/08: I have updated Mule with more accurate details. Check out the Flickr here.

Hello everyone.

Fans of the series Firefly will know that the destruction of the Mule ATV was completely necessary in rescuing Mal. More importantly, it made way for the super cool Flying Mule in Serenity and the comic book Better Days.

Link to version 2.

Picture is a link.

Take a look around my pictures for more details and excuses. Hopefully you guys will enjoy this and give me some feedback.

Cheers, LT

Fantastic! As a Browncoat myself I'd have to say you've done a great job of the old Mule, great construction. I love the Jane minifig too, that head suits him perfectly.

Stalking iamded! *skull*

Great work! Since it has such an odd shape it's quite hard to do at that scale. It's a shame that the series didn't last long enough to become as expanded as Star Wars or Star Trek is as there are so few FireFly MOCs to do. Next you should do Serenity at the same scale... >:-)

Hey, that looks pretty good!

Christopher Doyle is a genius.

You really did a good job by capturing the unique shape of the original, Lord Thrawn, a cool MOC with fine details and the interior looks great too.

Your MF characters work very well too, just lovely! :'-) *y*

Thanks alot people. It went through a tonne of redesigning from my old Mule.

That looks really good. It really captures the design in the movie. And since a full scale Serenity is out of the realm of possibility for most builders, how about one of the smaller Reaver ships to chase this thing around with?

I think it might be a challenge to do Reaver mini-figs without customization. Hrmmm, a challenge.

I did actually have a go in 2006. Here's the gallery. Looking back I could have done a much better job.

I've upated the Flying Mule to a 3rd Version.

Hopefully this will be the final version. Keep commenting!

Hopefully this will be the final version. Keep commenting!

That I will! Fantastic wok here, it is even more faithful and better looking. Whats even better is that you have retained the Mule's "ugly" look from the film without literally being ugly, thats a hard thing to do. As it stands, it looks great, and you've inspired me to watch the series and film again! (I own them on DVD)

Batbrick Away! >:-)

[Asuka]

Yep, it looks a little smoother now, and I like what you did with these colorful round 1x1 plates. *y*

[Lasse D]

This is exactly like I remember it from the movie *sweet*

I have often said "This will (hopefully) be my final version", but there have always been something to improve. New bricks appear and you discover new techniques. It never ends! X-D

[Lord Thrawn]

Thanks everyone! I think I agree with you Lasse D, it never ends. X-D
