did you do this yourself? where did you get the frame from and how is the frame attached to the wall? also how is the glass fixed to the frame? and also what type of glue did you use to fix the invader to the glass!
sorry for all the questions

Whatever I do, I'll place the instructions sheet on the back of the frame. Shame 5 and 6 are a different ppi. Would love a 3rd as I tend to like things in odd numbers...

Even thought about buying loads of rubik cubes and doing the rubic Kubrick (Alex). I know it sounds dodgy - but its not as if Id pass it on as an original.
