Last year I made a Super Megaminx and I finally got time to finish my Super Gigaminx. Like with the Megaminx I started with Cubesmith stickers and trimmed 2mm off of the edges by hand (well with a straight edge and an X-Acto knife). The color scheme I used matches what I used last year which matches what Mefferts had been using for their Tiled Megaminx, Pyraminx Crystal, and 12 color Impossiball. In order to do this with Cubesmith stickers, I purchased the Gigaminx sticker set and then also purchased purple to replace the light purple they changed their sets to (still not sure why they did that). And yes, just like before I know that I didn't have to do the outer edges but I really like the look of the puzzle when the pattern is applied to all of the pieces.

Wow, crazy o_0 It must have been a ton of work to make and apply so many stickers, so kudos for that. It looks like it'd be fun to solve, too - have you tried?

How would one go about solving something like this?

I would start with the centers, then pair up the edges, then solve a super-group megaminx. A supergroup megaminx is not that difficult is you work in layers and position the centers correctly right from the start. Just remember: on a megaminx it is possible to have only one centre rotated 1/5 (in mathematical terms: a 5-cycle has even parity).

Interesting. I wish I had a Gigaminx, or maybe I don't need one yet because, from what I heard, the quality isn't too great. Anyways, I want to try a sticker mod like this on another puzzle I own.
