Stargate Props : Show us yours!

This cube sold on eBay in '05:



I've yet to be able to actually place this one on screen. Both the static and the light-up props seem to have more "steps" in the center, while this one is quite shallow and has larger light-up panels. The glyphs are identical to this one though:



(this is sitting 180 degrees out from the one above - rotate one pic or the other, and you can easily match the symbols)
I'm 99% sure that this is the one in the screen cap I posted before. It's the one I'm going to try to replicate.


Here's the static cube, the one they initially pull out of the temple:



That's the best screen grab I've been able to get, but I can only assume that all the glyphs are the same as the other two.

Not sure why I've been so fascinated by a box for so long, but I'm *really* anxious to get the shipment notice from Shapeways.

So, that means we are not going to see pictures of the Kull Warrior armor for free?

Sigh Thats what it seems like

Also cant wait to see the progress on the Tel'Chak device.

In an unrelated question, did anyone manage to save any images from the previous legacy auctions (looking mainly for the Goa'uld torture stick) or any other older auctions?

I regret not saving them when they were online back then. Would be nice if we could have a collection of them.

legacy auctions in 2008 ??

As far as I know he collects pictures of the auctions.. Don't know about the Legacy auction, though... Would be interested to see what was auctioned off during that auction, too..

Yup, the Legacy ones in 08'

Good idea Stricky, I might pop him a message. To think of all the auctions over the years and all the items/pics we have missed. Ah well

I also tried to contact the buyer of the torture stick for you, although I have no high hopes to receive an answer from him.. Will keep you updated!

Thanks man, appreciated

Hmmmmm......Gou'ld Pain Stick you say......Im thinking maybe March

Cheers Jarrod, better start saving the pennies so!

My last purchase :

I've got some of the Pain Stick pics saved from when Prop Store had one, not sure how they'd feel about them getting posted. Couldn't find it in their archive

Yikes, I just looked at the price for the Kull warrior cd pics... Not even a mention of the # of photos, resolution, and hopefully you'd rights to the photos for that price

'Not even a mention of the # of photos, resolution, and hopefully you'd rights to the photos for that price'

cheech9898 just to to clarify, I'm not the one who is offering the pictures! Wouldn't sell anything I haven't the rights to.

Kerr, thanks very much for those pictures, really appreciated

Full Ronon authentic costume.
Just the blaster is a replica...

little upgrade...

Very nice indeed!!! Great seeing your new purchases.....

One day I hope to get a screen used item/clothing for my SG collection.

take a look on ebay worldwide....

yeh, I've kept an eye on those auctions in the past and also bidded but prices always go way above my funds at the last moment lol....but one day though, keeping fingers crossed

My 3D-printed Telchak box piece was finally supposed to arrive today. Unfortunately, 12+ inches of snow (and still falling) got here faster than the UPS truck. This is the second time in as many weeks that I've had a delivery delayed by weather...can someone refresh my memory as to why I left San Diego?

And, we have delivery. There's good news and bad news...

The good news: It's here.




The bad news: Of course, it arrived broken.



Easy enough to glue it back together, but it was packed *really* poorly. It's a thin piece, somewhat fragile, and simply sandwiching it in some cardboard before boxing it would have all but guaranteed safe delivery. What they did was fill a box 3/4 full of peanuts and then set this on top of it, wrapped only in a thin layer of bubble wrap. Very shoddy.

The other bad news: All four sides have very small but distinct curves to them, and as such the model is completely unsuitable to use as a casting master. The edges will never fit together flush this way. Nothing I remember from their documentation mentions any potential warping as part of the manufacturing process. Perhaps I missed it.

I'm going to bring both issues to the attention of Shapeways...probably won't amount to anything, but I'm really kind of disappointed with the whole experience.

I think my next step is going to be to pour some rubber over it anyway and get some casts of the raised areas with the glyphs. If those come out OK, maybe I can graft them on to some nice straight-cut styrene and then maybe get a decent master made.

So, overall, not nearly as good as I was hoping. Maybe I can still make something of it...time will tell.

With a little bit of heat, do you think you can eliminate the curve?
