This was just SO COOL! If you did an Instructable for each of the parts, I'd probably die (mostly from exhaustion, due to the need to immediately try to complete each and every epic step).

This is very cool. I'd love to see how it's coming along since I know this is an older post. As for the people suggesting portals, if you haven't already, don't do it. The only ways to do portals would cheapen the otherwise nice design or be too expensive to bother with. Having said that, the best way to do the portals would be 2 large tvs with webcams placed behind the wall/ceiling with the portals cut out. Then combine paint and EL wire for the blue and orange. Each tv would, of course, display the image in front of the other.

What Color Paint Did you use for the wall on the first picture?

Feb 5, 2012. 10:38 AMtreese1 (author) says:

it's just a light gray. I'm not sure of the exact swatch name, as we painted it a while ago...

This is awesome! Although I think you are missing a Companion Cube in the corner, that would be cool!

That's still on my to do list. I'll update this instructable as I complete more and more pieces of the room. :)

Did you make the test chamber sign? If not where'd you get it?

Jan 2, 2012. 8:15 AMtreese1 (author) says:

yes actually! I started with a black piece of foam core and taped off the large '11' and any other lines thick enough for that process. I painted the entire board white with a technique that left some black texture showing through and removed the tape. after that I printed out and super glued the "warning sign" boxes at the bottom. (all available online, or you can design them yourself) after everything dried we screwed the sign into the wall and painted over the screws making our very own portal level sign!

this inspired me to do this to my room! This room looks awesome

Very nicely done, I am wondering where the portals are though...

Nov 11, 2011. 2:52 AM!KnexMaster! says:

good point... mabye they're invisible? but it would look better with portals somewhere or even have one on the ceiling and one on the floor and have like a radio or something hang from the ceiling to look like an infinite loop

Mirrors! You should stick one on the mirror and then (with enough talent) cut out a mirror to the same size as the one on the mirror and stick it directly across the room.

Dude, that is SWEET!!! LOVE IT ALL!!! Can`t wait to see the turret model and potal mirrors, but good job!!!!

Please tell me how to make the level sign, it is so cool

Oct 15, 2011. 8:22 AMvsams14 says:

Are the murals panted onto the walls or are they on a piece of really large brown paper? Because inwouldnlove to do this but I'm not sure that it would be ok for me to paint that directly onto my wall.
And to let you know, it looks amazing. Wen if I cant do it now, I'm sure I'll get around to this eventually!!!

I'think that I'm going to make a room like this! Can you make some instructables please?

Sep 30, 2011. 6:39 PMtreese1 (author) says:

Unfortunately, I didn't document the creation of all of the pieces. The instructable for the Wheatley model is located here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Portal-2-Wheatley-prop/

I'll try to make more instructables as we go further in the process.
