Tu estás loco amigo! Me encanta lo que haces con las Game Boy realmente eres un especialista en este tipo de máquinas da gusto verte trabajar, además eres muy creativo.
I love these. I binged the whole Alt Boy list today. The body filler is interesting. I do plastic model kits and we use what is commonly called "green stuff" (kneadatite); a two part mix that can me smoothed with water, cures rock hard, and can be sanded. I wonder if that might be easier or not. Keep up the crazy gintendo bame noys!

Combining layers of paper with a glue (usually hard setting plastic, resin, or super glue) creates a material called micarta, which is amazingly strong and lightweight. It's what a lot of knife handles are made from. Good intuition to lay toilet paper into the superglue.

Best fanfiction ever.
This guy is holding new things just because he can. Mad lad just doing what mad lads do.
So, the TP idea kinda put you on the right track. One thing that people do with super glue is mix in baby powder to make a paste for extra structure. It's a really good way to prototype silly things, but is not always the most secure in the long term. Since you're usually using bondo on the exterior of those seams, it's probably fine.
This is good stuff to mix in with your usual stuff. I'd say keep it up. The more ridiculous, the better.

I'm not certain someone's commented on this but a good way to reinforce super glue is to use baking soda. you put a little glue, then you sprinkle some soda on it very generously, then more glue, more soda, more gluye.... you get it. it's very solid, can be sanded and files, and can even be built up to replace broken plastic tabs in various components.
