"Firefly" has been off the air for nearly 10 years, but the show's fans are still some of the most dedicated viewers in the 'Verse.
Adrian Drake spent 475 hours over the course of 21 months to build a seven-foot model of Captain Mal's Serenity entirely out of Legos. According to io9, the replica took approximately 70,000 Legos to build and weighs 135 pounds. To make the model as accurate as possible, Drake used the Quantum Mechanix blueprints. Yes, Inara's shuttle is detachable.
Drake's impressive achievement comes just a few months after "Firefly" fans petitioned for an official "Firefly" Serenity playset. Despite over 10,000 supporters, the project was not considered for production. Thankfully, Drake pieced together his own Serenity model from scratch, complete with all of the compartments from the set -- except for Kaylee's engine room.

Check out this incredibly epic fan-made Lego model of the Serenity ship from Joss Whedon's Firefly. The seven-foot-long, 135 pound, 70,000 piece Lego brick model was awesomely built by Adrian Drake.
This project took 475 hours over 21 months. The ship has a full interior from the bridge to the cargo bay, and features lights in the cargo bay and firefly drive.
This thing turned out so damn amazing! I've included some more pictures below, but you can click here to see all 75 detailed photos.
