Sadly, such is the fate of all leftover studio models. Once they've served their purpose, they're really not kept around for much.

The only exceptions are things deemed to be "culturally significant" (like an Enterprise or a Millennium Falcon), which end up at a museum, or things that get snapped up by private collectors who have inside contacts (who can grab them direct from the studio --most of them simply never pass a public auction block 'cause it wouldn't be cost-effective).

I'd patch up her hurt, & de-Reaverize her...

About three months ago, while getting a very rare tour of the Universal archives, we came across something tucked into a corner and covered in plastic that made our hearts skip a beat: a highly-detailed 12-foot-long filming model of the Reaverized Serenity. We could hardly believe what we were seeing!

As many Browncoats know, there has been a rumor around for years that a filming miniature used for the crash scene on Mr. Universe's planet. But that rumor was either denied as either being totally false, or that the miniature used was a simple styrofoam model. As you can see from the picture below, it does exist and is about as far from a "simple" model as you could imagine.

The archivists were generous enough to let us come back last month with a camera and crew to fully document the model – ALL 12 FEET OF HER! So, to start off the New Year right, we wanted to introduce you to the biggest, most impressive Serenity ever made (QMx designer Hawk included for scale).

Later this week we will be publishing a full gallery of images on qmxonline.com. But we couldn't wait to at least give you a taste of what's to come :-)

Actually, the Ariel Ambulance WAS rescued by a fan group:
http://www.arielambulance.org/
who also have a yahoo page
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ArielAmbulance/

...

Also, rather than pining over the relics we don't have,
I'm suggesting folks get involved in saving and restoring a prop that IS in the hands of Browncoat fans.
Even $10 or $20 is still a little help towards preserving the AA.
