Portal 2 Out of Lego and How to Make Your Own Lego Portal Turret

Portal 2

Remember when Lego used to be cool before you got all these sets with custom shaped pieces and step by step instructions on how to put it together?  Seriously, Lego used to be about nothing more than 4-5 different shaped bricks that you used to foster your own imagination.  Now?  Well, some would argue that Lego is more awesome than ever whereas some are pining for the old days.  We’re not here to judge.  But I will say this.  When I saw this Portal 2 made out of Lego I was definitely on the more awesome now bandwagon.

So what happened after that?  Only coming across instructions on how to build your own lego turret.   Yeah, legos rule.

Step 1: Parts needed

Here are the parts you’ll need. You may have some, most, or all of these in your own collection; if not, you can get them from Bricklink.com (or Lego’s Pick-A-Brick , but they tend to be much more expensive, if somewhat easier). Part names may be different between Bricklink and Pick-A-Brick.
