The Firefly spacecraft (My own design)

Folded august 2009 age 23.

Photo taken on August 25, 2009 with an Olymous FE-340

I attempted to create an origami design for the ‘Firefly’ from the television series by Joss Whedon. I first attempted it around the beginning of this month; somewhat came up with a design then tried a smaller one. At the time it wasn’t very successful and I left it aside for awhile. Today I have just come back to it. This was folded from a 4×4cm piece of paper.
Since this is based on a TV series I’m not selling this.

For a better idea of scale:

    For anyone not familiar with ‘Firefly’:

    Finding images wasn’t easy; and among those I have found; they each looked kinda different so I wouldn’t know how close my proportions are (because parts of the spacecraft move).

    Thank you Janis; although unforunately the two at the bottom seem to have problems loading at time. But I did link them to the webpage I got them from if you’d like to see them from there.

    Wow, that’s really cool! I loved firefly, Mal would be proud :)

  • Mui-Ling Teh replied

    Thank you Chris, and welcome to Redbubble! I’ve actually only seen up til episode 8. I didn’t actually remember how the spacecraft looked like so I had to search for images online to come up with a design, and they all looked kinda different so I don’t if anyone would really recognize Serenity when they see my origami. I don’t think this really grabs attention to those who don’t know Firefly at all but I’m pretty happy with this anyhow.
