Dedicated Father and Son Duo Makes a Stargate Replica

— June 17, 2010 — Art & Design
Why not have fun with your geeky side and build your own Stargate replica? Although I am not a huge fan of Stargate, I can still truly admire the work of this father and son duo. It's too bad that the names of this father and son have not been revealed, but credit to them regardless!

Making your own Stargate replica is simple. First, make a blueprint of the portal, then get some cardboard and get creative. I'm still amazed at how accurate the details are. Check out the video too, because it will give you a good laugh.
