I wanted to build a cube version of the Megaminx. Or at least, as cubic as possibe. As I'm not at all satisfied with the quality of this puzzle, I merely consider it a prototype.
The problems started when I decided to use one of those cheap Chinese models. Boy was I wrong. These are utter crap! I should have invested in a proper Megaminx. Cutting away 6 of the 'tops' was okay. But then I had to repair 18 pieces with Apoxie Sculpt.. And all the pieces, including all centers, had to be painted. I now regret that I even continued. I don't think I enjoyed one minute of building it. I cut the stickers by hand, because I didn't feel the need to have rounded corners on the stickers.
Done.
I've also started building another version, with even deeper cuts. But as you by now understand, I'll probably won't finish this one. Not with this crap Megaminx! And I want to try to build Jurgen Brandt's design of a cubic Megaminx, but then with the regular 6 BOY colours.
