Behemoth brickery

In this picture of the nearly completed spaceship, it's possible to get a true sense of the 7-foot Serenity's sheer size.

"Once the framework was done, I built the interior corridor and crew quarters, then completed the outside skin of the ship from front to back," Drake said on Reddit. "I came back at the very end and finished the interior details (cargo bay, dining room, and bridge). The break (disassembly) points for this were determined by the width of the doorway to my basement, and how big my car is, in order to transport it."
