    Right @ 3:00 into it where you have the SP-upper half and the gba matching the cuts and whatnot, it gave me an idea that I've never seen anywhere in the Nintendo handheld modding community ever that I can recall. It would be super awesome (admittedly surely not easy though!) to attach the casing like you're doing here for the upper screen, but instead of filling in the original gba screen, leave it open for 2 screens, and try to see if you can shove a ds lite in that form factor, i would definitely love to see that come to life!

    When your working with Bondo don't be afraid to start sanding a little bit sooner than you think you should. The material will be hard enough to not lose form but soft enough to knock down easily. The other thing I would suggest in the future, pun intended, is to use some sort of block when you sand. It will provide a solid flat surface that yields excellent uniform results across a flat surface like the top of the bottom shelf.
    Otherwise this is a quirky little unique build and it looks good.

    A spray painting trick I've learned from years of making models is to take wooden sticks (something like a kabob stick) and shove it through the box so you can hang the piece your spraying inside the box. Instead of having it lay on the bottom where paint builds up. This should give you a cleaner, less "globby" finish, and make the process easier.
