Stargate 6 and Stargate and sg-command.net MIA??

Well,

It deeply saddens me, but doesn't exactly surprise me, but the two most comprehensive Stargate Uniform sites have disappeared off the net. I'm keeping the links active on this blog, in the hope that they might return someday.

If anyone knows the reason why they went away, please post and let me know.

This does, however, provide me with the kick in the BDUs to actually get my own gear in order and start posting my version of the uniform guides they had on their sites as a reference to those who would like to put on the uniform and imagine going off world...espescially now that Stargate Worlds game is coming out.

I'll try sending an email to Eggroll and see what he knows...because he pretty much knows everything. I hope it isn't bad news for or about LT.

Until Stargate6 comes back, I guess I've got your six.

But, you don't have to hold your breath, Chevron 26 is still very active, and perhaps because it is in Germany it will stay active longer.

Motorola Visar 800

Finally picked up a Motorola Visar 800 radio for my rig on eBay. Only $20, including shipping!

This is very sweet news, as I've been trying to get one for almost a year, and as yet have seen nothing for less than $100.

Happy day, happy day.

Since I mostly do Jack style uniform, I will probably wait a while to get the newer Motorola used by the teams in the last two seasons....and who knows what they use in the new movie.

Magnum 8" Response Boot

The standard footwear of the members of SGC and the SG off world teams is the Magnum 8" Response Boot. Most of the team don't wear the side zipper version, but if you need to take them off everytime you come in the house, you might consider that.

They come with a comfort gaurentee, and I have to say that they are the most comfortable boots or shoes I've ever worn. I love them for casual wear out of uniform as well as suited up in the rig.

You can get them in most uniform supply sources, but they can be ordered online at Quartermaster Supply

Zat Gun

I'm not that big on the Zat gun, but if you need your Stargate arsenal to be complete, you can get a very nice replica from King of Swords.

You can find a good tutorial on assembly at Hobbytalk.com

A more expensive, but fully assembled and painted replica can be obtained from Forbiddenplanet.co.uk.

Zat Holster

If you happen to be carrying a Zat gun, you need a place to put it. The Vest Guy makes a perfect fit holster for this alien side arm.

P90 Tactical Mag Pouch

Frewuently when offworld, you need all the ammo you can carry on your person. The tactical vests worn by the SG-1 Team are Blackhawk Omega Tactical Medic Vest, with lots of nice pouches but none for extra mag clips for your trusty P90. Most often you will see the team carrying their extra mags in pouches strapped to their legs.

Where do you get that?

You can find them in various online stores, but probably the best and most affordable are from The Vest Guy. Prices are under $60, less shipping.

P90 Tactical Sling

If you have been looking for a good P90 sling that looks like the ones used on SG-1, you've probably been looking for a long time.

LT at Stargate6.com used to have just about the best accessories and uniforms, but since his mysterious disappearance a few years ago, the whole shop has been taken off the web.

Today, about the best place to get a reasonable p90 sling like they used on the show is from The Vest Guy. His prices are around $50-$60 at the online store, but you can usually get them $10 cheaper on eBay. Just do a search for P90 sling.
