Lego GLaDOS Tutorial

READ ME
IF YOU BUILD THIS MODEL FROM THIS TUTORIAL, PLEASE POST A LINK TO A PICTURE IN THE COMMENTS I WANT TO SEE HOW IT TURNED OUT.
Ok, so I know the video can be difficult to follow, and I'm sorry for that. I have no stand for my camera, so I literally used this Lego set (www.brickguidebook.com/general...) to hold the camera up. This isn't the easiest tutorial to follow, but I feel it is EASY ENOUGH to follow and get most of it right. From what I've reviewed none of the overly important parts are blocked.
As for the set's color and part choice. Some parts could be replaced with a larger part I did not have, and the colors could have been more accurate so feel free to change it up a little.

[@quantumblauthor7300]

I cannot stress my appreciation for your removal of the side "wings" in Wheatley mode, so few designs seem to take this into account. Also, great idea to have a loop at the top

[@JacobPlaysSomeGames]

Thanks! The loop was kind of a necessity for using the hook. Originally, it was connected to a square bracket made of legos, which went around a PVC pipe stand. This worked for a while, but the stand broke while the model broke, and when I finally fixed it and made the video it needed somewhere else to hand. For the side wings in Wheatley mode, I am so glad you appreciate it as much as I do. One model I saw didn't shrink the GLaDOS body for Wheatley and it looked really weird, so I wanted to fix it. Also I was simply a very picky builder when I made this model and wanted to be as accurate as possible.

I really wish Lego would make official Portal Lego sets. It would be so cool if there was a build your own test chamber set where you use the bricks to make your own puzzle

[@saturn21207]

"Don't put it over your bed or over something fragile just in case it pulls a Portal 1" Well, in Portal 1 after being killed, GLaDOS was torn apart, and all the pieces began levitating. eventually everything, including GLaDOS herself is pulled up, before Chell begins floating up too. So, I think if it pulled a Portal 1 I would have bigger problems on my hands

This is awesome! Thanks a lot for the tutorial. You should also submit this to LEGO Ideas! Btw I have the same LEGO set that you used as your camera stand :)

Thanks! No problem on uploading. I had planned to make one for a while and never got around to it until now. As for submitting it to Lego ideas, I feel that after making a GLaDOS in Lego Dimensions that Lego wouldn't be open to accept another one, and also mine could be a lot better. After I make some improvements I may upload it there eventually and see what happens. :)

It's a pretty low bar to beat in my opinion. Also the scale makes the lego dimensions one so freakishly large. I won't say its a bad model, but I do have some decisions I disagree with in its construction.

You use the same core design as Duckpondanimations, also aren’t there four personality cores before one falls off

[@JacobPlaysSomeGames]

Core designs are similar but not exact. There are only so many ways to build a ball after all lol. As for the fourth core, mine does not have a port for a fourth core because it was based on the Portal 2 design where the 4th port isn't utilized. In the event I build a portal 1 lego GLaDOS I will almost certainly give it the four ports.
