This piece was created using construction materials from a hardware store for freelance project to create a cosplay prop.
The prop is an Aperture Science Portal gun used by Chell in the Portal series by Valve.
 
I used rubber floor mat for the cover to create a dented and faded look and pvc for the main body.

The project was to use elements from littlebits and online shopping in an Internet of Things project.
