this is so amazing

Probably the coolest thing I ever crafted!

Lemme know if you want to see the WIP pictures!

Edit: Holy moly! Alright :D Thank you everyone! Here are the WIP pictures :D

A plan was hatched.

My first idea was to make these detachable chevrons, but that didn't work at all.

Second plan worked, I'm a bit of a packrat so I had some packing foam. I stuck the lights in there and stuck it piece by piece on a ring of worbla.

Second ring, the material is also worbla.

Very finicky cable management. Had to stick a paper ring behind it to tame the cables with tape xD

Worbla inner case. I basically just cut out strips and molded them onto the base.

Eeey! :D

I was reaching the, what have I gotten myself into stage. Thankfully that feeling passed quickly.

There are more details on the actual Stargate, but I felt that would overcrowd my ring perhaps?

The stripes on the chevron are gift wrap string and the 'glass' is the plastic you can stick against windows.

Base made out of three pieces of supermarket wine crate. My husband glued them together and made the slit to put the gate in with a chain saw. Bit dramatic, but it worked xD

Secured the gate with that fake snow you can get in a crafting store, same with the little pine trees. They are from Action, I think it's comparable to dollar tree etc? The stones are painted toiletpaper rolls.

And that's it :D Put the remainder of the lights all over the base and covered it that that snow.

Thank you for all the lovely compliments! I'm smiling from ear to ear :D Now it's time to clean my desk, cause dang.

Me about my fave show: This is my show. I found it, all on my own. It's trashy, and full of plot holes, but still good.

YEAH, STILL GOOD.

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

Our fandom forbearers did NOT suffer through Anne Rice, strikethrough, and other bullshit for fucking ACOTAR and Harry Potter fans to fucking ruin it for all of us by selling fanfiction. I am not losing novel length yaoi epics because some of you don't know how to act in fannish spaces and yes I do blame the booktokification of fanfic but I also blame those of you that treat fandom like content to consume and not a community to engage with.
