Birthday Gift I made (Portal Related)

(1/3) > >>

NiN^_^NiN:
Because I love this site and a lot of people show off other non arcade related projects I thought I would show off something I made for someone very dear to me for her birthday.

I semi recently moved into my own house and I sadly don't have any tools so building this Companion Cube was quite hard I know a lot of you guys could of done a better Job but I don't think it's too bad at all :)





I also made a stencil and put the Aperture Logo onto a shipping box came out quite nice


I have more pictures on my tumblr if you want to see

What do you guys think? not to shabby?

Malenko:
That's awesome. I want one (shipped to me in an apeture box!)!

Mikezilla:
I cant see it.  :'(

Nephasth:
Where did you get that book? I need to read that to the kids at bedtime! :laugh2:

RayB:
Does your girlfriend (or whoever the recipient is) actually play and love Portal? Or are you the portal fan?

Just curious because often I see guys putting all this effort into DIY gifts like this and I can't help but think of the Simpsons episode where Homer gave Marge a bowling ball with his own name engraved on it.

I'm not trying to be a dick or anything. Honest question that pops into my mind often. I've caught myself wanting to do similar, like build a custom MAME cab for a significant other, and then remind myself *I'm* the arcade nut, not her.
