Instructables - Portal Turret

3 days, 6 hours ago by ~billybob884
Journals / Personal

Good news, everyone! _{</Prof. Farnsworth>}

Some of you may remember the model of the Sentry Turret (from the game Portal) I did a while back. A few weeks ago, a member of the DIY site, Instructables, suggested I enter it into one of their current contests. Being one of my earlier models, It's fairly simple compared to some of my more recent ones, so I spent a few days re-building it while documenting the process to write a step-by-step guide. This will also be useful for some of you, as I've received more than a handful of requests for help with this model (as well as other portal ones) since Portal 2's release about a year ago.

The contest is judged by a combination of the results of a popular vote from registered site members, and the scores from a panel of the website's staff, so if any of you happen to have an Instructables account, _{or a minute to create a throw-away one}, I'd really appreciate your vote! Thanks for the support!

Vote For Me PLZ!

(There's a little button towards the top right of the page that says "IS THIS A WINNER? VOTE!")

Additionally, since this was one of my first models, in the process of writing the guide I ended up making a handful of small tweaks and corrections to the PDF & PDO files; both have been updated with their new versions.

Very cool. I'm in the process of making the turret and then in the the various cubes. BUT i have a request, and it may seem odd, but, Can you possibly create the buttons for the cubes? NO-ONE seems interested in doing the button, and we all know the cubes have to go somewhere...

These are incredibly amazingly awesome!
And since you consider ideas, maybe you could make the HALBERD from the Kirby series. I think you would do an awesome job on it.

willing to art trade.

i'm doing digital drawing btw.

Also, I wanted to ask you where you got the files for meshes and textures for your Fallout 3 crafts to put into pepakura. Since I have a mac I can't use that program, but I found a plugin for Google Sketchup that lets me do the same thing. I want to do something like the 10mm pistol, but I don't know where to find the model. I can't use the GECK because of the mac, like I said, so do you know where I can find it?
