Description: I have played this game Portal a lot and after some years now it’s still my favorit puzzle game, and for some time I have had this itch to make my own companion cube, and now I finally have :D A companion cube is born in this video, I hope you enjoy! :3 Things you’ll need: Plasticard*: 1mm thick, I use Evergreen, I got it from a retailer that sells stuff for train modeling Rods of different kind: 4x6,4mm, 2x2mm Glue, Humbrol’s Precision Poly Cement Model Filler, Humbrol Paint: Base primer matt white, The Army Painter Administrativ Grey, Citadel Skull White, Citadel Fuchsia, Martha Stewart multi-surface satin Acrylic craft paint Varnish: Anti Shine Matt, The Army Painter Tools: Scalpel Scissors, that can cut plastic Ruler Circle template, If you don’t have any, use something that is roundabout the same diameter as: 22, 42 and 49mm Iron ruler with angle bar, or something to make it easier to get a 90 degree angle Pencil Brushes Nipper plier Files, flat and D-curved Finer sandpaper Some sort of drill, I use a model drill ^^ Dust mask, this is going to be reeeally dusty! *What is plasticard? Plasticard is a hard plastic, it's industrial name is High Impact Polystyrene Sheet . UK modellers know it as plasticard, in the US it is commonly referred to as styrene sheet, plastcard or plastic card. How do I cut plasticard? For the very thin sheets, cut right through with a sharp craft knife or scalpel. Thinner sheets can also be cut with scissors. Otherwise the easiest way to cut styrene is by scoring it with a sharp modelling knife or scalpel, then bend it along the score, it should break cleanly. There will be a raised edge along the score line, this edge will clean up with a fine abrasive, file cards work well, or scrape it with the knife blade. What glues do I use? Polystyrene cement or any of the solvents or specialist glues that are used for the assembly of plastic kits. Don't forget to be in a well ventilated area, cause this make you dizzy otherwise..
