Stargate Chevron Light Prop - Build

[jessec]

After being disappointed with the light glass situation, I put my paint can ninja skills to work...finally started the paint.

I choose to paint the chevron metallic grey.

Did 3 layers
1st Layer
2nd Layer ( 3 hrs later )

It's a live auction, next weekend. And they're selling the Furlings (from "200") as well as large numbers of other things, including six separate lots containing segments of the SGC standing set Stargate:

That makes me really sad :'( Growing up with Stargate only to have it be cancelled when I'm at my 'SG obsessive high' (SGU).... *sigh* But now they're selling set peices, it sorta makes it more solid and legit that it's ended now.

Anyone who will try to build their own, what I learnt from this build is that things will be so so much easier if it was built in two parts. Top part should have never been glued down the bottom box should be built first lighting hooked. With the box built all u will have left to do is lay the top down.

My next build will be using this method..but I guess I still have to finish this one first.

Well, practise makes perfect!

They've been selling bits and pieces for over a year now. At least I got my hands on some small things and missed out one a few others.

But as you can see, you can also just build your own stuff...
