Stargate Atlantis Hallway Light prop Replica
Hello Folks! its been a while, hope all of you are doing well.*
as you may or may not know i am a big fan of Stargate Atlantis Set Design. Last year i built a 4ft Replica of chicklet lights that one was a lot of fun building. But this hallway light has been on top of my list for a very long time. This one is more complex, bigger and simply put more beautiful, so finally i have started to tackle this 92" tall beast
(cut the size down to around 80"approx) Will keep you guys updated as i make more progress.*
So far i have gotten the materials and drawn a rough blueprint of the design. Started to cut some plywood... will keep you guys appraised of the progress
Replica Dimensions (approx) = 80'' x 22'' x 10''
Color = Brown or light brown
Total # of lights = 9 Crystals*
Light Source will be = LED*RGB
---------------------
Here are few pictures of The light on the set..
Three of them behind our friends the replicatooors ( like Thor says it
Blueprint
Finally started....
Alright guys ! Finally got over my cold and spent this Saturday working on the light!
Started on the frame - the box !
Even tough I Used screws and glue to make the box but dropped some more glue on the joints, just let the glue sip in , It makes the joints stronger.*
You can never have it strong enough!. This is trick has always worked for me....
Inner support
Added two small supports*
The top box...
So after finishing the box - I did some math and realized the block placement is not going to work because the entire thing ended up being too tall...so I had to cut it down and make it a little smaller...
Cut the height down a little...
Started making out the block placement..
(messed up on this one)
Took deep breath and a cup of tea! Finally drew out the correct block placement.
Marked out the lines with some tape..
Did some more measurements on the inner blocks, the outer blocks edge..
Next is cutting the blocks...and deciding on the block depth.... Hopefully will get some more done tomorrow...
