How to Build a Lego Nintendo 3DS

Hello everyone, in this instructable, I will guide you in building your very own Lego 3DS.

For this instructable, you will need a variety of pieces, but will mostly rely on 1x8 blue plates.
Each photo will show you what you will need to build for each step, and then how to attach each section to the main structure.

For those interested, the main pictures of the 3DS are also on flickr.

This is my entry to the game.life challenge, and it would be highly appreciated if you voted for it. Thank you all, and enjoy the instructable.

Don't forget to rate it once you're done!
