Thinking With Portals

48 comments
I present to you a build inspired by Portal, the famous puzzle game released by Valve in 2007.
The key element of this build is the fact that one can actually see through the portals, just like in the game! It represents a small testing chamber and features a custom Chell minifigure (as she appears in the first game), with her weighted companion cube. The build can also be rearranged into 3 configurations, where the portals are placed differently on the wall.

The see-through illusion requires the whole scene to be duplicated, which is why I chose not to make the room too big. Besides, keeping the build small prevents the portals from becoming minor details, which I think would be a shame in a Portal themed Lego set.
 
This is my first submission, therefore any feedback is more than welcome!
