Description
Another one in my series of all things knitted about Portal...This is the little machine turret, which although cute, are rather dangerous, and where often being sworn at whilst I was attempting to play the game...
This particular project is the closest one yet to being engineered as opposed to created - it has a little metal wire skeleton so that it can stand up under its own weight (the pipe cleaners simply dont cut it, not if I want the legs so thin) and I have to thank :devenglemancer: for making it for me, and the little green stuff safety blobbing on all the ends...
Thanks to this little project, my war of the world tripod plushie may actually see fruition...
This item or similar can be made as part of a trade or commission (£20 + P&P)

Unfortunately I made him up as I went along, I did have some notes to start with, but after ripping biuts out and redoing them so many times, I figured no one would ever want to make one!
I'm glad you like him though!

Lol, I like it when that happens too - it comes surprisingly in hand when a lot of the people I work with love computer games! Sadly they think I play most of them, which can get a bit awkward...

Haha I just beat that %*&#^$ game..........those things pissed me off, and the way they talk is really creepy. And when they would fall over or anything like that all I could think of was the guy from family guy. "oh no........"

They're pretty creepy in the game, especially the voice...
Lol, my knitting certainly is moving on isn't it? Though metal skeletons wasn't a path I'd ever thought I'd go down...
