Catalogue text

Segment of the hero Atlantis Gate Room Stargate, featured in nearly every episode of Stargate Atlantis. This segment features a chevron at the top, and is capped with panels on each end to create an attractive display piece. The evolved “digital” nature of this Stargate precluded the need for a spinning inner track. Instead, the glyphs were portrayed with LEDs. The sides of the gate are made of vacuum-formed plastic and the bottom edges are molded rubber. The frame of the chevron is plastic, the chevron lenses are sheet plastic, and the front lens is clear and backed with blue diffusion paper. The front chevron, V, and three constellations light up when the prop is plugged in. Production has added a 0.75in sheet of black plywood on each end to provide legs for a display. Segment measures 71in × 19in × 39.5in.
