Probably not the movie I'd call my favourite, but it is surely a movie to remember! Still gives me chills every time.
What you see here is a modular 16x16x16 cube that can be connected to similar cubes to make any kinds of labyrinths. Obviously it's meant to be assembled using different colours to make different types of rooms. Sorry, no hidden traps here, I don't want these minifigs to get hurt.
And I know it's probably not the most complicated build, not the best vignette you might find in my portfolio, not the best render (even though it took ages to complete) and even the angle is quite mediocre. In all honesty, I'm tired to reject those models I see as "not good enough for posting". I'm here to share things I enjoy and this model is the one I really enjoyed building!
Even though I don't share my designs anymore, I decided to make an exception this time.
Cube houses are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimise the space inside. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest. The central idea of the cube houses around the world is mainly optimizing the space, as a house, to a better distribution of the rooms inside.
One from a series of shots from Rotterdam in the Netherlands of the famous architectural delight that are the cube houses.
Thanks for looking 🙏😊

These are the iconic Cube Houses (Kubuswoningen) in Rotterdam. According to Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_house) they "are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimise the space inside.

I was reading in Choosing a Map Projection that the distortions in the orthographic projection are not really seen as distortion by the human eye, since they mirror the foreshortening the mind expects in a spherical object. Hence, six views of a globe, as though it were in the center of the cube.

There is actually a 'show cube' you can visit, for a modest fee...and I did so on my previous visit to the city (in 2002).
You can see other my other shots of The Netherlands in (unsurprisingly) my The Netherlands set.
Stayed at The Cube the other week while in Birmingham for a concert. Having planned an early morning stroll along the canal in the spring sunshine it turned out soaking wet, so all I go were these views of The Cube. In the rain.

next to the central station: an interesting office building which offers impressive views...
Since we haven't been to Berlin for a long time, we saw it for the first time
I came across a tutorial by Colin Smith on making a photo cube in Photoshop. I decided to try it using recent polka dot macros. You have already seen the top and right side photos, and I have since done the photo that comprises the front view.
Following the instructions was pretty easy although me being me, I got the left side a little out of whack. But hey, it's a process. Right?
The tutorial is here, but it does require a somewhat up-to-date version of Photoshop, one that has the 3D options. There is a video plus step-by-step instructions at that site.

This is a fidget cube.
It's supposed to be the successor to a fidget spinner.
A Christmas present.
Different buttons, switches, surfaces on all six sides.
I'd rather just take a photo of it on a mirror than fidget with it! :-)
Rejects for this week MM challenge!

This cube is made from a slightly modified variant of my Woven Slit Module (WSM). 36 units are used (6×4 = 24 for the faces and 12 for the edges), made from square paper. Each face of the cube, when not connected to others, can be used as an origami coaster.
