A day late and a dollar short because nobody tells me about Portal related news anymore (aside: anyone wanna be a TWP news poster?), here is a phenomenal Portal 2 turret from effects powerhouse Weta.

Now THIS is how you make a turret prop. You can now commence posting :veryold: .

My brother showed me this a few days ago. AMAZING. I want to go to the Valve lobby now just to see it.

So cute, but so deadly!
I would love to be a news poster, but unfortunately I'm not having much time these days... (awwww)

WOW, impressive real turret! I like the movements of its "arms" and how it can aim its bullets, very well finished :thumbup: It has got even a security camera set in! Wouldn't it be great to install a CCTV in your house with some of those?

(Hmmmm... and I also like that chic with the scissors... :wink: )

useful tools and stuff here on TWP :thumbup:

Yeah the way the arms sway when it's searching is probably what sells it for me. I kinda think it's a little too large, even if it actually is "in scale".

So, I wonder if it reacts when it gets tipped over.

Crazy is as crazy does.

Quick! Someone sneak into Valve and test that!

I simply love it. Instead of the lovely flashlights add some facial recognition, and pepperspray and you've got yourself a perfect guard dog. (without the dog part)
