Stargate Project: The Stargate

 You can't have a Stargate game without a Stargate.  I have seen many versions over the years, including one where you can insert a cellphone to get the gate effect.  I ran across this one on eBay while buying a 3d-printed paint holder. The center is removable, but fits so tightly that I try to move it as little as possible to avoid scratching the paint.  I painted the event horizon with successively lighter shades of blue in smaller areas with some silver mixed in the center.

It didn't come with a DHD, the device used to activate the gate.  I bought this 3D-printed one on Etsy from Majestic Miniatures.  They also make some gate versions.  I think it would be fun to run a scenario with 2 boards and a stargate on each one so I may buy one from them in the future.

I have 2 versions of the MALP, the robotic vehicles used to perform recon and carry equipment.  The one on the left is a scratchbuilt version that I bought secondhand, repainted, and added a missile.  The tracks are metal and the rest is made of card.  The missile came with the right-hand version from Ainsty Castings which is made of resin.

Last are two firepits from Bad Goblin Games who have a variety of cool terrain accessories.  I am going to use them as temple fires in the Great Temple from my previous post.  They come with a small light and battery, though the lights are not on in these photos.  I gave the flames a red wash to tone down the orange.


A photo to show the scale.  Off to explore the universe!
