Cubic 7x7x7 is it real?

Yep yep, you're right, you're right.

I was trying to get a glimpse of the mechanism in one of the pictures, and it doesn't seem that the corner is connected to the core like a v cube corner stalk is.

So, I too, am beginning to wonder if it's fully functional. o:
 
Looking at the images of it being turned, I see ES 5x5 cubies with corners from some some other cube (Possibly mini DS or A?).

I uploaded a new image

It's a little bit smaller than V7

its each cubies is 1X1X1cm

A proportional and fully function cubic 7x7 has been made before. It's on some French site, but I can't find the link again.

Interesting, it looks like outer layers of centre pieces actually move out when an outer layer is turned to 45°

If the cube posted by the OP is indeed real, there must be some kind of mechanism allowing the corners to temporarily bond to their neighbouring edges, such as the magnets suggested by (X).
 
Yep, I'd say real. Good job, if it is. But Tony Fisher's fake 9x9 was very well made, and had similar turns done to it as yours. But I'm just going to hope for real. New mech? I guess it must be.

I don't understand

how can it hold the extreme corners

does it work like a floppy cube?

If you look at this image:

You'd see the inner layer 'bends' a bit to hold it.

Also, your not knowing how it can hold the corners makes it sound like your cubic 7x7 wouldn't be able to. In other words, probably fake =P
