Portal 2 Wheatley prop

Hi all you members of internet land! Today I'm gonna be teaching you how I built my life-sized Wheatley replica from the game Portal 2!

MATERIALS
you are going to need:
Sheets of "Fun Foam"
a Styrofoam ball (Ours was about 9 inches in diameter)
thick paper plates
an LED push-button light
a spinning stool-chair-thing
screws
and paint

Step 1

determine the size of your Styrofoam ball. you need to measure the circumference and diameter.
Make sure you have enough "Fun Foam" to fill the dimensions of [Circumference x diameter]

Well here we are again

It's always such a pleasure.

[Dino93]

Really very cool!!!Just how do you get the styrofoam to make that shape?

[4lifenerdfighter]

Sorry, but 9 inches isn't life size. Go third-person mode. He's actually 3 or 4 feet in diameter!

[doooom88]

Could you please add some pics i'm trying to make one and i'm really confused here

[jschrold]

Hey, ill pay u for that

[Higley1089]

You wouldn't care to link your fan model references would you?

That's a really nice replica :) like everyone else, I love Wheatley!

[atomiclegocreations]

he may have betrayed everyone in the game (spoilers!), but at least everyone still has a heart for him :D

[Infinite_minus_zero]

I like the Space Core most though! Wheatley IS pretty cool though. (no, m not saying that just so he wont get mad at me! of course not!) lol

[Hugo Boom]

SPACE CORE FTW! :D

This is amazing! Very well done. Where can I find a LED push-button light?

[XOIIO]

He's not just a regular moron.
He's the product of the greatest minds of the generation working together with the express purpose of building the dumbest moron that ever lived.
And you just made an AMAZING instructable on him. *slow clap*

"Oh good, my slowclap processor made it into this thing."

[badpanda]

Great prop for a great game! Now to figure out how to get some servos in this contraption and some randomly played .wav files via motion sensor as one strolls into the room.

Very nice! I'm going as Chell to the New York comic con in october and have a small budget. This will be PERFECT!

I do believe three of your pictures are missing though.

i think for halloween im gonnat stick this on the end of the portal gun built by the prop nerds or as a high tech jack-o-lantern! thanks for the info!

[Spycrab]

Pretty sweet! May not be "professional" (no offense XD) or anything, but the end result is spectacular! Great job. :D

[treese1]

I'm a low budget type of guy. Getting a good looking result with minimal fees is what I like best! Thank you!
