GIANT CARDBOARD GAMEBOY COLOR SCULPTURE
Jaime (aka MaboroshiTira) made this incredibly detailed giant cardboard replica of a Nintendo Gameboy Color handheld. It’s got pushable buttons, an on/off switch that moves and a turning volume dial.
She also made a giant game cartridge to go along with it. It reminds me a lot of Zim and Zou’s Papercraft Gameboy with how much detail went into making this replica.
The Dynamic D*Haus folds and shifts into configurations developed using advance geometry and mathematics.

ALL THE POKEBALLS
As a followup (and further 3D practice) to his NES Toaster, Mathijs Sterrenburg has designed all the Pokeballs currently available. It’s hard to believe this was “just practice” because the lighting effects and detail work are exceptional. I think it’s safe to say he’s got this 3D thing pretty well figured out now!
