Portal Turret Papercraft Guide

Step 2: Assembly - Body

For the first portion of the model, you’ll need the four pieces labeled “A”, “B”, “C”, & “D” (highlighted in red in photo #1). Starting with piece “B”, connect the 5 center tabs to their adjacent edges (photo #2). Put a small amount of glue on the white tabs, and attach them to the rear of the edge’s face. NOTE: if you are using liquid glue, be careful not to use too much glue, as it can cause the ink to run.

Pieces “A” and “C” will attach on each side of “B” (photo #3). Connect all tabs to their adjacent faces, save for the one large tab at the bottom of piece “C” (photo #4). Leaving this open will make attaching piece “D” easier.

Closing up the back with piece “D” is a little trickier. As you close up the back, it gets harder and harder to reach the tabs inside. I recommend starting with the top two tabs, and working down both sides evenly. You can slide a paperclip or toothpick through the space you left open at the bottom to help attach the tabs (photo #5).
