Ok. so here is the whole thing. All of the buttons are pushable. The on and off switch moves, and the volume dial turns.I also made a removable game cartridge.
Yup. that's that. Done with cardboard for a long time.
EDIT: Oh my gosh guys...I am literally in tears. I never thought this would get so many views and favorites. And even end up on the front page! Thank you all so much. I can't even. This is really something i never thought would happen. ;A;
EDIT AGAIN: Aww, thanks for the DD!

That's just amazing. Truly amazing. And everything works and moves! I adore the detail you put into the "Game Boy Color" line, it totally looks like the ones on the actual gameboy! Congratulations on your DD, and may we see more amazing-ness in the future!

Thank you!
And about 125 hours give or take, and over the course of two weeks.

I'm sure someone else has already suggested this but if you ever get the chance you should totally put a real flatscreen in there

OAO Did you even sleep?! (did they give a grade for that too? Because that better have gotten an A if that were the case!)

I did sleep, but not much. lol.
And i don't even know. My teacher has a bad habit of not telling us our grades. :c

Oh dear-I hope you got good sleep afterwards!
Mine do that too-I kinda wanna grab the tests & a calculator & run to the hills! XD

I did. lol. I'm actually done my semester now, and my next one doesn't start till February. So a lot of time to sleep.
I hate when they don't tell you grades. I mean come on. I spend a lot of time on my work...i at least want to know what i got on it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yay~!
Exactly. I hate it too when they're doing you a favor by doing that. (because we all know that highblood pressure & your hair falling out due to stress are gifts *facepalm*)

Awesome! Such a nostalgic feeling!
Simply amazing even to pull this project through! Love it!

Totally amazing!
Now all you need to do is paint it the right colours, and cut out the screen area so you can strategically position an LCD TV in there
Congrats on the DD!

I gotta be honest: the attention to detail is astounding. There are so many places you could have very easily cut corners and I'd still be impressed, but you really went the extra mile, and now it's mind-blowing. I mean, on/off switch and volume dial actually move. The game cart can be inserted and removed. I feel like I'd find giant cardboard batteries inside the battery compartment too.
Really, don't be so surprised. This is phenomenal work.

I don't care for Nintendo much but this is really amazing. The level of detail on the perfectly inflated sculpture's size is just incredible... and to have the pieces move, to allow interaction? No one would go to that extreme. Bravo!
How much does that thing weigh?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!
And i don't even know. I'm able to lift and move it myself...so it's not that heavy.
I'll have to check later and get a better estimate.

For heaven sakes woman it's a skillfully handcrafted giant cardboard gameboy. Of course it would. And the DD only makes sense.
Excellent work.
