"It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science;
We do what we must,
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done,
and you make a neat gun
for the people who are
still alive"
This is the Companion Cube as made famous by Portal, which quickly became more famous then the game itself. I hope you guys like it.
The cube itself is made from Bright aluminum and pink Anodised aluminum heart inlays on every side. The hearts were NOT painted on there, the rings were anodised and already colored and I wove them into the chain by hand.
It is a japanese 8-2 cube weave of course. This is a SOLID cube and is chainmail all the way through because I thought that if I was going to make this I may as well make it a pure poject. People keep asking me if it is stuffed with something which is annoying.
It took somewhere around 12,000 rings to make this and it weighs just over a pound. That is somewehere around 24,000 twists of my pliers and somewhere around 75 hours of work. I lost track of how much I put into this thing. I actually ran out of metal or I would have made it a little larger and more detailed.
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for this bad boy at Califur since it is going on tour there with it's new owner.
I will be posting more pictures of this and the WIP over the next few weeks so keep your eyes on my gallery.
