 This is by far my fastest build. It took me a few hours on two evenings. Next time I will not use Apoxie Sculpt, but just glue. So I guess you could finish this mod within 2 to 4 hours or so. You need 4 black corners, 4 white corners and a mini 2x2x2. I used an old white cube so it would match the yellowish white of my Domino.  Use a saw to remove at least 12 mm (the width of a 2x2x2 cubicle) of the 8 cornerpieces.  Then attach the 8 cornerpieces to the 2x2x2. Putting in the first piece is difficult. I used 3 pieces of paper, that I stuck into the mini 2x2x2, to position the piece.  I first put on the 4 black corners, for which I used Apoxie Sculpt. As I said I wouldn't use that next time. I used glue for the 4 white corners. Make sure you don't spill any glue into the 2x2x2.  I used my sticker plotter to cut little circles. I wasn't sure if I should stick on the dots, or use the vinyl with the holes to spray paint the dots. But using vinyl stickers for the dots looks much better than I had expected. So I'll keep that.  I do think that my Junior Domino is not yet a proper Domino. On 2 of the 3 axes you should be able to do half-turns only, so the dots can only be on top or on the bottom - as it is with a real Domino. I know that there has currently been a thread on this forum that discusses a half turns only cube. But I couldn't figure how to achieve this with a 2x2x2. Please tell me if you have an idea. I also plan to build a 2x3 Domino (basically a black and white 2x2x3 with dots). But not any time soon. So if you want you can beat me to it Thomas

Again, another professional looking puzzle! I really want to try my hand at puzzle making at some point!

I like how you used a basic unaltered 2x2 as the base of your mod. I don't know if this is common in puzzle building, but it's new to me!

That looks great, good job. It is similar to how I built my dice 2x2. Getting the pieces aligned perfect is really difficult.

With your recent posts about your modes together with a short tutorial you whet my appetite for trying a mod myself. Thank you.

Wow, that looks very professional. Good job, Thomas! Does it have the half-turn restrictions?

Just at the bottom of the post, it says it doesn't. But he's open to suggestions of how to do this!

It is very cute, I agree!

You don't run out of ideas, do you?
Keep going! Great work!

Proves that cuteness doesn't just work for human babies but for puzzle babies as well. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it.
