That infinite light hole is awesome. If you wouldn’t mind doing a step-by-step tutorial, I’m sure it could be used for a variety of projects. I’m getting a Star Wars power core vibe off of it myself. Just need a walkway violating a few safety regulations and a pair of duelists and you have an epic diorama right there.
Well, here we go... pulled together some useful bits - likely wont use them all, but we'll see...
Main build so far uses a coffee cup lid, thick card tube (from a roll of aluminium foil) and some card of various thicknesses and a plastic lid from an empty tube of make-up (the wife's make-up of course...)
Nevelon, I'll see what I can put together, it's pretty cheap and simple, just a little....maddening at times

Inspiring work guys. Haven't been in the hobby zone for a good week now, one of these days when things slow down a bit.. Nice to see everyone else chug chugging along though
just a quick wip on the stone portal arch - got some background in mind but going out of town this weekend so no hobby time. Now that I've finished a couple other projects tho I should really be able to focus on this one and get some progress
I may be making another attempt at trying to finish for once. The basic idea would be a webway gate/stage portal to go with my monochrome Harlequins so I'll be using mostly clear or slightly translucent materials so it looks like a glass or crystalline structure.
Spoiler:
- Frosted polypropylene, acetate and tracing paper for the main structure of the gate.
- 3D effect paper. This would be used for the actual gate, I also have some in clear and blue tint.
I'm not entirely sure if this is even eligible as there would be a minimal (if any) amount of actual painting involved.
Dawi have good speed with construction... Damm only shame is, I have no demon for scale. It will look fantastic, how go out from rift.
Good news is, smartphone can be taken out from it. So is somethink like docking station

Smartphone is a really cool idea, really curious to see the finale effect
Trim is on, and plenty of warp denizens are already reaching through to shake hands. Debating what kind of texture or finish to use for the flat surface.
Spoiler:
Also, work continues on the base itself.

Modern technology and terrain - who'd a thought it ! Great work guys, unique and innovative ideas both. Really looking forward to the finish line with these

Judging this will be a nightmare
On a separate note, if you have declared your intent to participate, can you checlk that you are listed in the top post please?
Cheers gang!
I don't think I'm listed
Some seriously cool stuff happening in this thread now. Although my own piece now seems a bit simple compared to all these fancy futuristic things, I'm still working on it. Been at an MTG pre-release all weekend so I don't have any updates - but expect some next week!

Very high-tech competition this time around I'd steal that smartphone portal if I were less scrupulous. Hmm, maybe I'll use it as a billboard for a future scifi project. I've got an old one kicking about as well...
I'm kind of thinking a subway entrance would be useful for my current city board project. I'm not sure it would be enough to justify for this project though. I mean they can be as little as stairs leading down and a simple railing. There are some reasonably fancy ones though. Cheap to buy in MDF too but this is all about making new stuff (preferably) from scratch. Hmm hmm..
