Challenge theme

Jackson: Why not?
Carter: Well because after Colonel O’Neill and his team came back, my team tried hundreds of symbol permutations using Earth as the point of origin and it never worked.
Jackson: Well I tried the same here and it didn’t work either. But I figured the destinations I tried were either destroyed or buried. But I mean some of them somewhere must still exist...

How many of you watched the TV series "STARGATE"?  😉


Requirements 

As a result, you should deliver a bridge portal device for rapid travel between two distant locations. It should be large enough to carry research teams and light utility vehicles.  

The design must be based on your own concept or idea, done and rendered in any 3D software. You shouldn’t care about topology and polycount but quality modeling will be appreciated.
