    1:1 Stargate Project - Real Life Size Gate

    Hello Stargate fans I'd like to present you the switzerland association "Les Enfants de Mac Gyver" (Mac Gyver's Children).

    Why this name ?

    Because, like Mac Gyver, we started this project from nothing and our aim's to create a full life-size Stargate !

    It'll be like the one of the TV show : 6 meter diameter, the chevrons'll switch on and the main one'll move down !

    Quentin, the founder, launched this project 3 years ago. First we spent more than 2 years to do some extensive researches, trying to find everything about it. We've acquired at auction a real piece of the Stargate itself (summer 2012): a backpanel. Then, a part of a frontpanel and a complete chevron've followed (summer 2013).

    The main works started in April 2013 by the molding of the backpanel and the casts we made from it. The only missing piece for us is the part of the outer shell of the gate :


    This is the Atlantis version, we are looking for the SG1 version.

    We've worked hard, but there's still many things to do !

    We need you !

    We'll launch a crowfunding in the next few weeks.

    Our final aim's to exhibit the Stargate in European conventions/festivals (for now, we've already been exhibitor in some french events), rent it for specials events and organize life-sized role-playing games in the Stargate world.

    All of this will bring us extra funds and allow to repay the initial investment, to continue to create new set, like the DHD for example (we're besides in touch with the one who bought it), make the Stargate rotate, build the gate of Atlantis or Universe...or something completely different from Stargate. Everything is possible !

    We also get supports from stargate actors ;D like Gary Jones, Tony Amendola, Amanda Tapping, and much more

        We've already built a near life size gate, and I know there's a French group who's building one as well.

        What materials are you using?

            If you indeed were at Japan Expo/Comic-Con this year, you might have seen ours standing there. Ours is build out of fake wood (MDF though it's probably called different in English). Our chevrons light up, but don't move.
