Haha! Complete! My latest addition to my paper-world is ready for the masses.

In case you have no idea what this is, it's one of the lovable turrets from the XBox 360 (and PC) game called Portal, part of a collection called The Orange Box. I've had this model done for about two weeks now, just waiting for the chance to test and build it.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with this model. I wanted to keep it relatively simple, and I don't think I did too bad a job in that respect. The stability of the legs was my biggest concern, and isn't exactly problem-free, but it works. As anyone who has played the game knows, it takes barely any effort to tip the turrets over, and the same holds true for this model. I would recommend cutting out a cardboard base, just a simple circle, and putting a dab of glue at the bottom of each leg to help hold it stationary. I plan on doing this once I get home (and have some cardboard at my disposal), but for the moment, I'm too busy basking in the glow of another completed project.

I think I'll go play some Portal to celebrate!

It's coming along well. I found some basic information on how to make papercraft models, and I found a lot of info. I didnt realize about scoring, or using a blade instead of scissors, but now that I understand that, every piece goes together pretty logically.
I built the front part of the body, with the "eye" and accidentally left it in a bit of glue i had on a paper, and the color came off. But I'm building it, and i can't wait to finish!
:iconbillybob884:
heh, i actually don't bother with a razor, i never had the patience. everything i do is done with scissors. as for the coloring of the eye, try using a red colored pencil or a crayon, that might help fill in the detail a bit
