Level 2 Mengers Sponge

Level 2 Mengers Sponge using business card fold except a smaller version. 20x35mm card. Level 2 has 400 cubes with 6 cards for each cube equals 2400 cards. A total of 1056 cover panels bring the total number of cards to 3456.

Started on 23 March working a couple of hours most evenings, completed it last night and made the little stand using the same format.

I might even progress and do level 3 which will reguire 66,000 cards. If it took one month to do level 2 it would take me 20 months to complete level 3. Could complete it by December 2014.

Menger Sponge is a mathematical fractal where the pattern or form is repeated.
