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.

Yeah, I wanted it big enough to at least send my PTE Mutt jeeps or PTE Dune Buggy's through. As for the Backstory, I want to reverse engineer the way you're thinking about it. If I come up with a GREAT backstory and the Gate doesn't look the Part, I'm screwed. However, If the Gate looks Great, I can adjust the story around that! If the gate looks Piddley, I can make it just a minor part of the Story. I'm thinking of it being in an Alien Craft that is found buried (ala the 1981 version of "The Thing"). But again, I wanna see If I can do this....
I'll keep ya posted on how it goes!
