I am about to attempt a mock-up of a portal gun. I'm going as Chell (the protagonist from the portal games ) for comic con and the gun is the main part of the outfit. I've found a site that goes through the making of a portal gun, but I don't have nearly as many tools or expertise as that guy. I'm also trying to keep the cost down and don't want to buy too many tools or materials.
So far, I've spent $4 on card and masking tape for my mock-up.
I figure if I draw up some guides in illustrator and cut out shapes and stick them together, it should give me a good idea of the size I need, then I can go and get some pipes, or use cans or find some hardy material from which to make the proper gun. I'm a bit excited about this, but we'll see how it turns out.
Recycle Centres
ReplyDeleteIs there a recycle centre in Albuquerque. If there is and it is like the ones here in Cork you'll be able to get lots of pipes, (plastic is lighter) and other stuff for free by just rummaging around in the rubbish.
Knowing you, it will turn out great.
Love, Brian.
