Can an upcycled discarded sprue becomes Billion Suns jumpgate

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

In this day and age, when each new rules set needs a certain something, I needed a jump gate for Billion Suns, as I have loads to ships, but all come with their own hyperdrives.
So, there I was helping my youngest daughter to assemble her robot-table-vacuum-cleaner-thing she got for her birthday, when we found we had a sprue frame of transparent day-glo green left over.
Plus a bit of flash/tab from a Forge World resin casting.
A pin, a base, a bit of dayglo green paint and an 'ACME' sign:- One jump gate!
The flash from the Forgeworld tag, with a bit of milliputt, made a perfect counterweight/powercell for the gate.


POSH? Only if Port Out, Starboard Home!


Cheap, cheerful, and very very bright green! No way you can miss this in deep space!

Wobbly writing, must be some poor, put upon, dock worker!

Plug it into the mains and you're all set

Looks good to me.

For God's sake, don't turn it on! This thing has never been tested; we have no idea what it might do!

I thought to myself, that is assuredly a jump gate, or maybe the entrance to a car wash.

Won't do to make first contact in a dirty starship.

Add sprinklers and youd get a clean one, nice idea.

[Steve J]

Great idea Will .

[Techno II]

Certainly is !

I wonder what would happen if you put a short length of optic fibre into the base, and gave it a light source...would the whole 'gate' glow ?

Many, MANY moons ago, I drilled out a sci-fi gun on a 30mm model, and popped a bit of fibre into that....it worked OK, for a photo....If I tried that again, I'd get a cheapo laser, and use that instead of a torch bulb.
