V Cube 7 + Cubesmith Tiles (Smooth)

[Fuzworth]

Thought I'd post a picture of my V-Cube 7 after 5 long hours of removing stickers and placing plastic tiles from cubesmith.com. It looks and feels amazing now! I used the smooth tile set for this cube, but the textured tile sets are phenomenal as well.

Note: The red tiles are not pink even though some of the front red tiles look pinkish due to the harsh flash. In normal lighting, they look more like the tiles on the top side of the cube.

That looks very nice. I should tile mine.

Slick!

Looks GREAT!

Wow, 5 Hours to sticker a cube O_O. That's dedication?


EDIT: Are those the regular v-cube tile set or did you select them yourself?

Yeah, I wonder how long it would take you to sticker a teraminx.

5 long hours

Wow, 7 Hours

Finally we know just how long a "long hour" is.

Wow, 7 Hours

LOLOLOL SORRY :fp <- facepalm on my part.

Read it and got mixed up between V-cube 5 and 7 hours, and V-cube 7 and 5 hours

I tiled mine too. I got my sisters to unsticker it But I didn't track the time it took to tile. Mine looks very nice too.

I just bought the $8 'Smooth Tile Set'. You can find it here.

The orange and blue tiles are a bit darker than the original V-Cube stickers. So there's an option to buy 'light orange' and 'light blue' tiles to better match the original color scheme. Personally, I love the darker blue and orange.

That reminds me... DEFINITELY spend the extra $2 for a Scrape-Rite Plastic razor blade. It makes for an extremely fast and clean peeling process. Also, I'd highly recommend Goo Gone to clean your cube once you've peeled off all of your original stickers.

I did get a Scrate Rite blade. And then I applied Tea Tree oil. Worked great.

I recently re-stickered my V-Cube 7 with Cubesmith Vinyl studio stickers. Yes, putting on all 294 stickers one at a time is tiresome and a painstaking thing to do. It took me over 2 hours to do it.

But it was worth it. I've now got a totally reborn cube now. I'm trying new methods and techniques on the V7 to prepare me for the V9 when it comes out in time (hopefully later this year).

to prepare me for the V9 when it comes out in time (hopefully later this year).

Is there any reliable information on the release date for the V9?
