Description UPDATE: Someone made a showcase of the miniature (SuperRetroBro 's make): www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_Iy8D…

We're so close to the launch of the Nintendo Switch! It's so close, that I can almost feel it...

Well, I guess somewhat. I couldn't help myself from the elusive hype! I decided to shrink down a Nintendo Switch papercraft model to make a mini/micro/nano version so the model so it could easily be displayed somewhere. And it works so well as a miniature. It's so cute!

I had added the kickstand/Nintendo Switch logo on the back myself for the papercraft, using references of what the system looks like. I also had made the pattern for the Nintendo Switch Dock myself, using a frontal picture of the Dock, then figuring out the other angles based on other reference pics. It isn't part of the original big Nintendo Switch papercraft I shrunk down. It's interesting trying to figure out myself how the dock would look myself. I guess that makes it a bit more original. (Still gotta give credit where credit is due)

Kinda wish I could make the Switch Dog (Joy-Con Grip) controller too. But that seems like it'd be even tougher to do, so this'll have to do.

Dockable. Kickstandable. Removable Joy-Cons. Can't play games on it though. (pseudo-playing with that Breath of the Wild screenshot though on my mini-TV/iPhone. XD) Still nice to play around with the switching versatility of the console. Such elegant engineering compared to the other consoles. It's so very... "Non-Nintendo." In a good way, of course.

I'm probably going to not be posting the pattern for it. It'll probably have to be like the case with the N-Zap '83 Nintendo Zapper papercraft that I made.  That one was also a pattern someone else already made, not my own. I did re-color it myself though.

How did your shrink it like that? and where can I get the dock to it? I really want to make this as well

I just used an Art Program to scale down the image of the original papercraft pattern. c:

I actually added the Nintendo Switch logo in the back myself, which wasn't in the original pattern and kickstand. And I had to make the pattern for the Nintendo Switch Dock on my own with pictures I could find, and references to the multiple sides (when the Switch wasn't out yet/I didn't have it yet). I'm surprised no one else had made a miniature [papercraft] model of the Switch, or even a Switch Dock.

Something like this image really helped. static3.gamespot.com/uploads/o…
I just had to make guess-timates of how the other sides of the Dock would look like.

It's not my original pattern, and the Dock papercraft design I created isn't really polished or clear where to cut (I'm not really a papercraft-design maker, mostly 2D art), so I'm not sure if I'll be able to upload it. :/ (Just kind of cautious, in case there are problems)

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it! Probably won't get it at launch though. I don't really have the time to play through Zelda and I'm waiting for some more games.
