It's funny they have ALL the figures for the movie and series, but NOT the thing that everything hinged on...THE STARGATE! I know I saw someone who had a cool mock-up and one who had a cardboard Stargate, but I can't remember who had them! If anyone can help me out, let me know.....I'll take anything, Pics of the Stargate, links to model stores who sell them, anything!!

Yeah, except for the fact that I'd have to buy 12 Stargate figures (at least!) at a cost of $16 - $20 each! Yeesh! LOL! I wish they would just sell the Stargate by itself! But you know, as I look at the figures, I just may buy them! Not like GI Joe 3 3/4 inch is expecting any "new" stuff! LOL! Has anyone seen these figures up close? Are they 3 3/4 inch or larger?

But thanks for the link. If I can't find anything cheaper, I'll buy these. Oh, By the Way Luis, your Star Wars stuff got here Christmas Eve! I'll send it out after the holiday!

I can't believe someone went to all the work of putting down the symbols and everything. I actually didn't space things out properly and I missed three symbols, oh well. http://www.rdanderson.com/stargate/glyphs/glyphs.htm there's the link for the site I mentioned. When making the gate remember that they can get four guys to go through standing next to each other which I think should help you in building a gate to scale. __________________ I have a new site for my table top tactical strategy role playing game for action figures and miniatures.

I hope you post some pics of it, I'd love to see how it turns out. One thing that kind of irks me about the show is that they don't use many vehicles to get through the Stargate. Other than in Atlantis, you would think that SG Command would've developed a good vehicle to take through the Stargate. I believe the Humvee fits through the gate, or at least the semi-scaled one that I made. Though why they wouldn't transport helicopters through and then reattach their rotors on the other side is a question as well. It's probably expensive if you can't bring it back to the planet with you, but I'm sure they could find a way to do it. __________________ I have a new site for my table top tactical strategy role playing game for action figures and miniatures.

I haven't decided yet. I wanted to go with Wood, but I couldn't find a wooden "Doughnut" the size I needed. I went into Michaels and low and behold, there was a Styrafoam wreath. It should work......

The stargate was used as a BASE for Stargate model kits that came out when the original movie did back in 93 or 94 (whenever it was). There were 2 kits, one of Ra and Anubis (IMPORTANT: The kits with the bases are the MRC MODEL KITS and NOT the HORIZON ones). I did a quick ebay search and was able to find some with the bases shown: 130066746852 - This auction shows both boxes with the stargate image in the background. 250069661124 - This shows the Stargate base excellent! It is soft vinyl, easily the center is trimmed out with a razor. I at one point was going to get this, cast the stargates in Resin and use them in a 1:18 scale dio, but never got around to it. 200065494581 - This may give you a better idea on size, the figure is approx 10" tall and you can see the body (without head) is about the same size as the gate itself, I dont have an exact measurement, but I'd estimate the Stargate to be maybe 8" across? I remember it was a hair smaller than it should be for G.I. Joe sized figures, but should work great. Goodluck! --== Paragon ==--
