With that heaping pressure piled on, I really had to make sure this thing turned out good.Īt one point, I tried to mold the entire barrel of V1 so I could pull an whole assembly as a single piece. Along with it will be a custom base signed by the guys at Valve! This particular replica will be auctioned off at the Child's Play charity dinner in Seattle on December 7th. Ever since I finished my first Portal replica nearly 2 years ago, I had it in my head to make another specifically to benefit this cause. It's hard not to be cheesy when you say something like this, but making these replicas has changed my life for the better, and I wanted to do the same for someone else. Back in 2003, Penny Arcade founded a charity, run by gamers, called ' Child's Play' - a gaming industry charity dedicated to improving the lives of children with toys and games in a network of over 60 hospitals worldwide. Linking to them from here is almost silly, like asking a fish if they've ever tried water before. The result has, quite literally, changed my life.Īnyone who has stumbled past my humble little blog here has no doubt heard of Penny Arcade.
