Redesigning the Space Ship Window

Remember when the Daedalus saved the day for the first time? It was the darkest hour for the Atlantis expedition. The Wraith had arrived above Lantea and were preparing to cull the city. Sheppard was on a suicide run. But before he could sacrifice himself, the Daedalus swept him away in an Asgard transporter beam.
That triumphant entrance in the Season Two episode “The Siege, Part 3″ is widely regarded as one of the best episodes of Stargate Atlantis. To create the Daedalus, the production team at Stargate gave the Prometheus space ship set a facelift — specifically to the forward portion of the bridge.
This week, Propworx is pleased to sell a print of that very piece of concept art that gave inspiration to the bridge redesign for the Daedalus! Produced by artist James Robbins, this image shows the new forward facing windows against a backdrop of the Milky Way galaxy, a view the Daedalus would be seeing frequently while on its way back from Pegasus.
The image also includes an overlay of an adult male to show the size comparison for an actor standing next to the windows.
This 11in x 17in print is available this week, exclusively through the Propworx Stargate auctions! Be sure to check it out on eBay, and don’t forget the 109 fantastic additional items currently available through Sunday night!
