ZPM REVEAL ON DIAL THE GATE
Our replica ZPM, inspired by the version seen throughout Stargate Atlantis, made its official debut this month. Standing at 14 inches tall and powered via USB C, it has been recreated using extensive reference study to capture the geometry, faceting, and internal crystal structure of the original prop.
Creative Director Ben joined Dial the Gate to give fans a detailed look at the prototype. The video provides a great sense of scale and accuracy.

COMMUNITY FEATURE
MARK WALKER’S BLADE RUNNER SPINNER PHOTOGRAPHY
This month we are showcasing the incredible work of photographer Mark Walker @markwalkerphoto, who created an atmospheric cyberpunk diorama featuring the Blade Runner Spinner.
The featured image was shown in the email, but here on the website you will find his complete gallery of four shots.
With a new Blade Runner show arriving next spring, anticipation is already rising. Mark’s photography captures everything fans love about this universe: neon reflections, rain soaked grit, dense city textures, and noir inspired atmosphere.
