Stargate options?

Okay, while I would absolutely love to use one of the existing large CoT portals for a stargate (the ones that spawn Demons when approached), I know that's not an option with our present editor. That said, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on building a stargate using the items that we do have. Off and on for the last 7-8 months I've been working on my Stargate Command room and lately I've been seriously thinking that there must be something better I could use to build the gate. Currently I've got this:




As you can see, the gate is very simply made using nothing more than floor safes and wall lights to represent the chevrons. So I'm wondering if there's something in particular that anyone who's had an idea like this themselves has used that would turn out better? I know I could use trial and error, and I very well may wind up doing so, but figured I'd toss the question out here first and see if I could save myself some time, aggravation and a whole lot of stacking and deleting, hehe.


EDIT: If it matters, the room this is in is a Trophy Room, so its limited pretty much to decorative items only.

That’s fantastic! Reminds me of Stargate...

That would be a neat concept if you place that in-between rooms as a doorway or place colored wall banners behind the arch.

Heh, well that is the intent. What you can't see behind the camera is the floors containing the control room and conference room, as well as various offices, labs and other "sets" inspired by Stargate Command from the TV series.

As for an effect inside the gate, the banner idea has been suggested by a coalie, but the various other projects in the base have been keeping me busy. Now though, I've completed 95% of those projects and I felt it was time to reassess the stargate design and get around to finishing the SGC as a whole.
