Greg mate.... if your struggling why not customise one of the papercraft offerings.
http://papercraft.firefly-serenity.de/
Its all self explanatory and in fairness is still a cracking model.
I have seen people doctor and greeblie these and even use plastic in parts to create some truly amazing builds.
I am no paper modeller but our very own Bagpiper Jim is a veteran at the craft ( and very good too, check out his Youtube channel )
I am sure once he resumes an active role on the forum he will advise and help where necessary.We may even get an area on the forum for paper models specifically if a few members actually model in paper/card.
I must admit i have had a go. Only a Star Wars Sandcrawler and a Star Trek travel pod but they are paper, and i do have a collection of paper builds in PDF just in case, including The Mule from the very film the Fire Fly comes from.
Hope this will satisfy your cravings for the battered old bird...

will take a look but when it comes to paper modeling I will just be a "leaf on the wind"

Use some good quality card fairly thick for the main parts.. i think they advise on paper/card weights.
Use plasticard and even make up an internal structure if necessary from plastic etc...
Then follow the build instructions... They no more confusing than some of the Dragon ones..
I have even seen people use paper models to template a styrene build..
Good luck mate.

I don't know if this helps... it depressed the hell out of me. I love Firefly.
I'd love to have a kit of Serenity.
