So we are planning to build a smaller Stargate (maybe about 2-3ft high) for an event later in the year. I'm just wondering what everyone would recommend using as a base material for the primary structure? And if you have any tips or resources I'd be glad to look at them - I'd appreciate it too! Instructions, past successes, anything! Thanks!

We built a near lifesize stargate (and are planning an Atlantis gate as well), and ours is made out of MDF -- trust me, it's a sturdy one. It's painted. The chevrons light up, but it doesn't spin. I know there was a lot of sanding involved, lots of cutting out the glyphs. I was sadly not part of the building process, however, I am one of the few who knows how to set it up at events -- lots of bolts and nuts.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

do you have a photo of this. I have a dance cabaret team and our current cabaret is Stargate (the movie) and I need to get a stargate built, big enough to walk through it!

I am looking to see about getting a stargate made by myself or someone else who is more experienced… I am unsure of where to start or what to do.
I feel it would be best to go to someone who is more experienced and creative, since I lack that skill.
My fiance and I have been stargate lovers for forever and I want my wedding altar to be the SG1 stargate. Is anyone able to give me some insight on what to do?????????
