Here's a little project of mine I've done this week, a 15mm Stargate to use in variety of settings (Weird War for the time being I think, till I get myself a good proxy SG team):
A quick run through:

The original template - From Wikipedia

Stuck on some card, and layered up.

Giving a "gunking" of sand/glue mix.

Whilst drying, I started work on a crude base. I want the gate removable, so I can place it in different locations, e.g. the SGC.

Yay! It fits! lol

Polyerfiller to smooth it out - then sanded.

Painted!

A kind of size comparison, with some Peter Pig Germans.

Finally, the event horizon, just a quick print out, but I think looks quite nice.
I still need some Chevron "lights", any suggestions? Also, I need to work on a DHD. I understand GZG make some "Not Jaffa", do they provide suitable SG teamy types?
Comments and Criticism appreciated.

Looks great. Love the water effect :-*
-
That's a great piece. The event horizon looks great. Do you have plans for a 28mm one?
-
looks fab,
i shouldn't think it would take that much work to up scale it to 28mm.
-
Great work SC :) Looks really good!
GZG do do some troops that can be used as an SG Team.
SG15-SFE1 is the code for the "Science-Fiction Egyptians with Jackal-head helmets";
SG15-SFE5 is the code for "Assault Team (human troops in fatigues) - 4 character figures and four line grunts"; and
SG15-SFE6 is the code for "Grunts - 8 figs, 4 each of two poses (1 in helmet, 1 in cap) to reinforce assault team!"
I think they're on about the fourth page of 15mm Infantry in their online store.

How big are the GZG 15mms? I have some old 20's from Shieldwall...
I hear they're a pain to get hold of now due to all sorts of liscensing reasons.

That and sheildwall ignore all orders! In the end i had to get paypal to take back the money :(
-
Went on their last night, they've put a message on their news page saying they have closed shop.
Unfortunate.

At the risk of sounding trite, they're smaller than 20mm miniatures. If you don't mind mixing sizes on the games table, they're fine, but they would look odd.
Sorry, no photos, as I passed on all my 20mm stargate stuff to someone else.

Ordered, Ordered, and Ordered. ::)
I was looking at the sheildwall stuff, but after seeing some "dodgy" accounts of dealing with them, I steered clear. Shame they've shut up shop all together.
:?
Any idea for Stargate themed rules?
Do you have plans for a 28mm one?
Maybe.... I'll see if I can motivate myself.
-
Lots of different options.
Are you familiar with the Stargate Gamers Yahoo group? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Stargate_Gamers/
There is a fair bit of stuff on there that might be of use, but for 15mm I might recommend looking at Beamstrike - http://www.neilandannettec.myby.co.uk/beamstrike.htm - which is what I'm planning to use when I finally get myself in gear with my own SG 15mm project.

That's a shame, I would have paid good money for them. :(

They passed some nice things back at the same time, if it makes you feel any better, Rob :)

Nah s'ok. :)
More money to spend on Flintloque! ;)

First attempts at a DHD:

I've applied to be a member of the yahoo group, I'm waiting for approval ;)

The cheater that I am. I've considered snagging a set of these.

Nice StarGate.The DHD has turned out well too.
I have resin ones in 28mm and 20mm I think it is.Also have some of the shieldwall miniatures and got a set of the Monolith SG-1 team.Bought a painted set from Jim Bowen.
Shame the other company doing the SG miniatures stopped too.
Used to have some of the Eureka Jaffa but sold them on ebay.
-
Right, I'm back off Holiday, and have a few more bits completed.
First off, the DHD has had a lick of paint:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a51/Berdi/Stargate/DHDFinal.png)
And I've painted SG1; pretty basic, but they look the part I think:

And the full Stargate setup:

Now about a dozen Jaffa to start on. I'm planning for a more filmesque look than the Tv series, more cloth and flesh with less armour.
-
Seems no one likes the Good Guys lol So how about some Baddies:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a51/Berdi/Stargate/JaffaRB.png)
I'm making them into squads of 3 for the moment: Blue, Red, Green and Purple. Next batch awaits!
-
Very nice!!
Keep up the good work :o

Always favored the originals, myself too. ;)
