Yeppers, the ship is available in the downloads section here in all white and colored in versions, a set of 30mm gaming figures is available from another site, I will try and find a link to it for you. There is also a model of the Mule available.

Sorry got confused with the "F" section of the Sci Fi dictionary. :D

Oh yeah, there is a Moya available, just have to dig the link up for you. I seem to recall one of Aeryns' Prowler and Johns' Module. Never did see one of D'Argos' Attack Ship but I think someone did do one of Moya's Gun Ship off spring.

Hi Starship Builder,

Well, as far as luck, not exactly, but I have been having a lot of fun trying to track them down, so that has to count for something.:D

A direct search for anything Farscape related in the way of models led me to a review of Crichtons' Module in 1/72 scale, a resin kit, not exactly what I was looking for and surprisingly, the only actual model I could find.

Starship Modeler - 1/72d Farscape 1 Kit Preview

I don't know if it is still available, the links on the page lead off to a bunch of BS that didn't seem to relate.

I tried Firefly and came up with a link on the Cultman TV site to the pistol used in the series.

Scott Copeland’s Jayne Cobb Pistol

I found a whole slew of card models and links to various sites relating to Sci Fi models but looking at more than a couple of sites on card model forums showed that Farscape models were pretty far down the list of most card modelers desires. The Star Trek, Star Wars and games seemed to lead the pack as far as card models were concerned.

Paper Hollywood |

My best suggestion if you really, really got to have some models of the craft related to the show would be to learn how to do design work yourself, get some screen shots of the show's models from a place like Hulu TV or better yet a collection of the show on DVD and go for it. A pretty good explanation of how it is done is here on Erick Munoz' site. While not for the feint of heart, it does show the places you need to go as well as the programs you would need to get to take a run at it.

Okay, for all you designers out there, how about working on a couple of Farscape type models? I can cough up all the screen saves you can handle if you are interested in doing the hard part.









How about a DRD in 1/1 Scale, that would definitely be a conversation starter.

Very nice find, now if one could manage to come up with a real firing model...

Seriously though, I have the entire series on DVD plus the movie so coming up with enough pictures of the CGI vessels to replicate some models would not be a real big problem. The DVD program I use saves the screen shots at 720X480 so they should be big enough to give enough information to use. Just have to get a designer or two interested in working on them.
