Hey, guys,

I'm the one who made the Rubik's Companion Cube a while back. It turns out I'm still addicted to Portal, so I ended up making a Portal gun out of PVC, spray paint, and other bits and sundry. I posted instructions up at http://granades.com/2008/10/28/how-to-c ... asy-steps/ I'd love to hear what you think.

That is awesome! though it would be cool to add a glowing light in the middle, like the real, non-photoshoped, portal gun.

Yeah, I'm Christian, and yeah, I pray to God. Don't like it? Well, that's too bad.

Wait, are you suggesting I photoshopped any of those pictures?

Totally kick ass , could use afew improvements BUT THATS EPIC.

LOL should make one of these as a potato canon.

What are you talking about? Im not saying that the portals in the last few pictures are photoshoped or anything! I mean, that looks completely like a real portal! :wink:

Wow, this is totally awesome. I love props from games and movies, I made a Quake 2 Railgun a few years ago.

Cool, thanks! The sad thing about that picture is, the cube isn't very good at Lego Star Wars. I was hoping it'd be better than I am at the crate-pushing parts.

Mine is cal-i in css...

Why did we ever ban that kid?
