Plastic milk jugs make for great diffusers, so do toilet paper and cotton balls. Also, taking clear fishing line makes a narrow rope disperse the light more evenly. Other materials for diffusing light white plastic bags, paper bags, printer paper, white craft paper, white EVA foam, and polystyrene packaging.

I will qualify this post with the fact I was Friends with Richard Tucholka. Way way back in 1982 Tri Tax Games published a game called Fringwothy, which was about a gate portal found in Antarctica about 150 miles from MicMurdo Air force Base. That portal was found to be a pathway to other plants and alternative earths. Richard passed away in 2016, but Tri Tac Games goes on with most of the catalog available at RPG Drive Thru. I am very shocked that more table top gamers do not know about this. And if you ever see the animated short "Babylon Park" , while it also mostly based on Stargate there are a number of Fringworthy Reference in it, even the statement of IDET, which is the gate using origination in the Fringworthy

[@Ainar86]

@@ironwarmonger Holy Hell! So the gate near McMurdo in SG-1 was inspired by this game? That's interesting and even BGG doesn't list this game under his name!

Good luck

[@polishedpebble4111]

An "infinity mirror" in the stargate would be an amazing effect.

[@ailstyn]

i've been considering making an infinity mirror pit trap to match my dungeon tiles

[@jherazob]

I've seen it done and it does look awesome!

[@Ainar86]

But then it wouldn't have the classic shimmer!

[@ChaosOrZen]

Omg. I have watched the entire sg 1 series at least a half a dozen times. Movie was fabulous, but the series has its own magic.

[@12XxXHandlesAreStupidXxX123]

Teal'c was such an awesome character!! I miss that show. Might need to re-watch it sometime soon.

[@eastoforion]

stargate yessssss definitely should check out SG-1 as a background show during crafting :)

[@spoonz202]

Tip for runes and such, klingon is a good alphabet to crib from and you can hide words or phrases. I printed a figure i didn't realize was a rip off of a GW sculpt so when i painted it i painted an apology to GW for printing it on a large trailing scroll she had. Just for if you're feeling less inspired and need some runes/etc.

[@tyarkschettler853]

I was avoiding the show(s) for a very long time because they looked cheap and forced at first glance. Then my friend got me to actually watch the first few episodes in order and it became my favorite show ever (well, tied with Friends for the 1st place ;)). I even liked Universe!

[@pedrobastos8132]

I can see this painted black and green and looking amazing with necrons

[@doloressims5677]

Did you know you can get circular quilting rulers? They're clear and come in different diameters.... might be useful in various kinds of builds.

[@5thterrax]

This is amazing. I have been printing jaffa and stargate soldiers to use in stargrave and have been needing a good stargate for it! This is perfect! So far up my ally its coming out my mouth. XD

[@JimJonesGreatBigTable]

That looks awesome. I wonder if you could print one of the galaxy photographs available from NASA onto a blue gel and get a cool star field effect from there when backlit?

[@joshpotter9261]

Mount an old phone or tablet in there with a swirly pond effect.

[@DaniGeez]

There’s a thing you can use that has been used for cosplay props when using LED’s. LED Eva foam. You can still see the color and it hides the dots from the led strips if it not right on it

[@markfergerson2145]

Or fiberfill, the artificial "down" used in pillows. It's in pretty much any craft store and you can pack it in as tightly or loosely as you like to get the effect you want. It's especially good when there's not a lot of clearance.

[@Dogmelter42]

... I have been modeling my SoB's style after Carter from SG1, so this is definitely something I need.

[@johnlanger7852]

I loved Stargate. It was a great show

[@FallenSailor]

If ever a movie needed a great toy line or RPG, (besides “Blade Runner”!), this would be one of them. Your set, figures, and gate transcend anything in factory plastic they could have dished out to us kids in 1994. What a beauty, Jeremy! Thank you for this!

[@spinymausgames1866]

Absolutely loved that movie. Sweet project!

Huge fan of Stargate SG-1. It still holds up after all these years. The show ran for 214 episodes couple of movies and spinoffs. When I saw you were creating a Stargate I had to watch. Nice work!

[@shmirkeshmirk]

Huge Stargate TV show fan, love the movie. This just made my night

[@tanknewartgen]

Loved this video. I used to watch Stargate with my grandad, he died years ago but I have so many great memories just doing nothing and watching that with him :) I may need to make a stargate themed wargaming table now haha

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Great video - love that stone work - and the portal turned out great!

[@tbb3736]

Really good texturing with the rock. It looks like some sort of crumbling sandstone or slate. Really fits the theme.

[@SgtMaj22]

Loving the Egyptian themed desert terrain stuff. This was great.

[@yagsipcc287]

Thank you for this video Jeremy. Stargate was the first movie I went to see in a cinema with my dad. It inspired my love of Sci-fi and I think it still holds up too!

[@johnnybigbones4955]

Great build! The extra texturing on the grout lines is really effective.

[@xJadeWolfxx]

I'm loving all this themed terrain. Plus when you're excited about a build it shows in the production and makes me want to build even more.

[@dcernach]

Stargate? Love it! Netflix has you covered in a while!

[@jherazob]

Great job as usual! Your Not-Tomb_Kings army should be great! And they're releasing more models for that army, so you should have plenty! Between the two sponsors you should have enough and very varied faux-Egypt minis for a lifetime, and there's more coming in the future! Also, yet another recommendation for SG-1 here, the movie was fun but the series fleshes out the universe in a way the movie could not. Do have in mind the first few episodes are rather more NSFW than the rest.

[@adamjohnson4821]

That movie was amazing! Surprisingly great TV show. Well worth the bing watch. And that portal looks perfect.

[@MaeseTrancos]

Nooooow, we all gotta go and watch Stargate

[@BarringtonDrive]

Stargate! Instalike! Also, this desert theme terrain is AMAZING

[@dolfinmagikpro]

Great build! Suggestion ... to hide the LEDs, try using some vellum paper or Wax paper to help diffuse them. Another way (rather tedious, but it works) is to use either a black dry erase marker or a black sharpie marker to coat each LED/Light. IF the light is glass, use a sharpie. if it is plastic use dry erase. The marker won't completely coat the glass/plastic but it will help to diffuse the light coming from them. Hope this helps! Have a better day!

[@patriotjedi530]

Hell Yeah!! I think I can actually HEAR your diorama!

[@aaliyahraks]

love this and the Egyptian set

[@ShawnEnge]

Great build. And you should watch SG1 - at least the first 5 or 6 seasons. It's a fantastic exploration of the universe. Keep it up!

[@PastaLuke]

Man, I think the LED aspect of the build turned out fantastic!

[@arolahn]

That turned out pretty great! In the future, if you want to create a diffusion effect on clear smooth plastic, I suggest looking for Folk Art’s “etched glass” paint to experiment with. It adds a frosted layer that might help with the LED “glow”.

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Making a portal is a really cool idea!!! Also, I loved Stargate as a kid! What a fantastic movie to spark creativity as a kid. Great stuff as always.

[@TheGrayfrog100]

I found that for good diffusion give the inner side of the Gel a light sanding/scuffing. works really good to hide the LEDs. Amazing Build I'm going to have to make a few of these now for each of my terrain sets

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I 100% should have sanded at least the inner sides of that plastic.

[@raymyers7255]

Absolutely awesome build - You could do a totally different finish on the back side so the players have an entrance / exit side. Swamp/Taveren/Dungeon basement. A 2 for 1!

[@plumtucker9514]

my brother got some 3d printed stargates from the show, and i was tasted with painting them. I started with a whitewash on the inside of the ring and then used unicorn spit -blue in increasing stages on resin building up the water like effect. added some glow in the dark powder to the last clear coat of resin, also made the locks glow red like in the show.

[@NottsKnots]

What you needed for this was some diffusion material behind the lighting gel. You can get some for free if you have access to an old TV/Monitor you were going to throw away or from a junkyard. You can just unscrew the screen and find a sheet of it that would have been used by the backlight. I'm sure you can probably buy something similar too.

[@samanthalacroix2687]

Well done as always! I love how you made something inspired by Stargate but gave it a completely unique twist resulting in something both completely new yet clearly paying homage to the original source.

[@jamesshellnut6787]

Your Chappa Eye is looking baller! Nice touch with the chevron markers, gives it more mystery.

Its so strange how every alien planet looks like Vancouver forests! HA!

[@hollietrexel8604]

You should watch. Maybe as background while crafting. SG1 stands up really well today.

[@ScytheNoire]

This is a great idea. Could probably use a lot of the same technics to make any type of portal, from fantasy to futuristic. Very cool.

[@shellbackbeau7021]

Dude, I highly recommend both Stargate SG-1, and when the story introduces it, Stargate Atlantis! That's a really good looking portal!

The series are pretty good actually. Atlantis especially I thought was really good. They're worth checking out.
