Portal Gun is Huge Success

Don’t tell Aperture Science, but prop designer Volpin has replicated Portal’s ASHPD gun for his girlfriend’s cosplay contest. Best of all, it can light up in both orange and blue, depending on which side of the time-traveling wormhole you’d like to construct. For materials, he used florist’s foam, wonderflex, bondo, PVC pipe, ABS plastic, LED lighting, an acrylic plunger handle, roll-feed paper spindle, an old drawer pull, rubber hose and coaxial cable connectors. If you wish hard enough, maybe it’ll turn into a real working portal gun. I’d leave one end of the warp permanently outside my neighborhood taco stand. [Cosplay and Flickr]
