Hello all
I am building a waterfall moc that is going to have a portal in it. My question
is does anybody have an idea on how to build a moveable curtain that will basically
move the water out of the way to reveal the portal? Im a little stumped. Any
ideas are welcome and greatly appreciated.

Build On!!

You could attach a number of part 63141 (String with End Studs 21L overall with
Rope Climbing Grips (16.1cm)) at the top of the opening and use tiles with clip
(15712) to hold transparent plates (of variour trans blue colours/clear) colours.
Probably not the "cleanest" way of doing it, but it would work, with a lot of
work. The ropes would be the most expensive part, but you could probably do a
good pair of curtains for around a tenner.

Alternatively clip 2* 1x2 trans plates together in a line down pieces of string.
Repeat ad infinitum and connect above the opening. Cheaper then the other option
and possibly better results too.

That's two possible solutions, anyway.

Try something like the doors on this set.

75098 Lego Battle of Hoth.

They can open and close
