i'm a big portal fan(although i never played it)and what i liked the best in the game was mostly the cores. they talk, they move, make great youtube video subjects and sometimes, gets you blasted into space. soo...i made myself a core that is no bigger then my thumb.

first, take out your plastic LED bulb and cut out the inserting stub and rub out the remnants with sandpaper.
it should look like this:
Eyes(eye)

time for the eye. take out the bb pellet and glue it to the plastic bulb's hole. color the eye with some markers and poke a dot in the middle(pupil).
Add Handles/final Paint

now let's bend the wire bits to make handles. make 2 of them and glue them near the eye. after that, let's give it a final repaint with some details.
Finished!

so there you have it, the world's most smallest core model ever! i started over a curiosity core first but the eye got glue in it so i changed it into rick(adventure core). it's pretty durable and it looks really cute! i suggest you make a bunch of other cores and hang it up on the ceiling. maybe next time i'll revist this project with more bigger cores(maybe wheatly).
