Assembly Steps

  1. Glue the large dark grey piece on top of the green piece to create the screen and bezel.

    Tip: The most rounded corner goes in the bottom right when the card is facing you. Check the alignment of the pieces before you glue.

  2. Glue the light grey piece that makes the front of the console on top of the dark grey piece.

  3. Apply the cake and HBD vinyl to the green screen area.

  4. Attache the black d-pad button and two red buttons. There are smaller cut outs on the light grey piece to help you position the buttons in the correct location; center the buttons over the cut outs.

    You can use foam tape or pop dots to add some dimension to the card.

  5. Glue the dark grey bar to the top of the card to make the detail in the case.

  6. Fold the light grey card base.

  7. Glue the white card insert inside the card. Remember that the most rounded corner goes to the bottom right-hand side.

  8. Glue the layered console piece to the front of the card base.
