So it looks like someone really knows how to hit a right note here, and has posted instructions on how to create a Portal Gun prop using semi-ordinary materials. Judging from the list of materials, this should run you only about $20 if you have some of the pieces laying around the garage.

Totally awesome for a 1 year anniversary Portal Halloween. Kudos!

Ya saw this in the other thread about it, but I may actually make one and try and make it better .

Might be easy to add in 3 LED lights, an orange, a blue and a red or a blue and orange light .

Those pictures of the "tests" are made of win. You are a hero among men, sir.

Yeah hopefully there is going to be about 8 of us, and then me as a Supersoldier. I can't decide if I should make an Overwatch Pulse Rifle for me or the Gravity gun, a'la the scene in Breen's office.

Hober if you want to get in on the action, I think in the end it is going to cost about $100-$150 per costume for the fabric, helmet, and voice modulator if you want to chip in. Hell I might even be okay with you being a Supersoldier and we can make an IRL version of my avatar.
