So recently I was at a craft market where I came across a used Rubik's Cube which I bought for 50p, so I thought why not make it the base for my first twisty puzzle mod! Turns out it wasn't really the best choice as a cube due to the glued down centre panels and lack of screws (Rubik's really don't want you getting inside their cubes apparently), but as this was only really a trial run I wasn't too bothered. Plus I've learnt a valuable lesson for next time. Anyway, after a good few hours I ended up with this: Attachment:

You can probably tell that I took a lot of inspiration from heiowge and his incredible Borg designs. Now I can't decide what to do as a paint job. Anyone have any thoughts?

Beautiful. Just make sure whatever paint scheme you decide on you dry brush it on to give it that aged borg look
