Stargate Construction Near Complete (Updated 2/24)

A while back I purchased one of Xenoweb's kits and have been working on it off and on throughout the year. Yesterday I finally have neared completion, enough that here's some pics of the near complete Stargate!

First a shot from a distance, I played with Photoshop for a while and got a pseudo event horizon effect working with some filters. When complete, the center section is actually going to be mirrored plexiglass and it will hang on the wall.

A bit closer look at the chevron sections. The chevrons when I painted them came out a slight shade lighter than the rest. I think I actually prefer it that way though haven't decided for certain if I'll repaint them to darken them a little. They aren't attached yet, just laying on the area.

Another closer shot. There's a little bit of play in the alignment of the gate sections that will even out when the plexiglass is mounted to stabilize it all the way around.

Great work. I would love to do that project. I collect SG (1994) and SG1 props.
 
Re: Stargate Construction Near Complete!

Great job, it looks cool with the metallic paint job :)
sorry about the "xenoweb" on the parts, but like you said it's easy to remove.

can't wait to see it finished with lights and mirror.

Thanks! I'm hoping to finish getting the plexiglass fitted for mounting soon so I can send it to an automotive shop to get it mirrored.
 
Re: Stargate Construction Near Complete!

Love it! Stargate is a hard habit to break.....

Should've given Atlantis the book and kept SG1!

Before it's done, get a shot of K9 poking his head through the gate! :lol
 
Re: Stargate Construction Near Complete!

I actually held that SG ring while it was being airbrushed awhile back. You’ve taken your time with the project and it’s really paid off. Very cool! :)
 
Re: Stargate Construction Near Complete!

If you can find the right size one, how about a lumin disk like the Borg use?

It'd be awfully big, and it wouldn't really 'work' with the Stargate design I think since it's nothing like the wormhole effect.

But anyway... today's picture now that I have the plexiglass mirrored and fitted to the back! Also, electronics should be about done (I had someone assemble them for me, I suck at soldering)

I would like to comment but the pics aren't working for me :cry

I'm not sure what's going on with Comcast, but I had to reupload a bunch of pictures over the last month, and it doesn't look like they're letting me link to some pictures.

Pic attached.
 
Re: Stargate Construction Near Complete!

That is awesome. This is definitely one of must have props once I get some bills paid off.
 
Super prop and well done with the work on it. Love the Stargate franchise, just awesome to see.
