I agree with Dersham, I like the idea that a Jeep can go through it, that is one of the things I always wondered about the show... sometimes they'd go through the gate and make a comment like "We have to walk 7 kilometers east", I'm thinking screw that... send me through the gate with some quads or something...

So I like your idea about making a world to world gate, but not doing 'stargate', your ideas of paper mache or spackling on the styrafoam is a good idea. I personally would go with the spackling, you can get a lot of texture on it and make it have a stone look... I have never had luck with paper mache at all...

Is this gate going to be something ancient that was dug up on earth? found floating in space and brought back down? new technology just made (probably not if you are putting alien symbols on it, unless it was recently recovered from a downed alien craft)? etc., I'd suggest coming up with a good backstory first, then making it look the part.
