oh my god. I don't even know where to start about this thing...



Well first off, the character is Bass from Mega Man. This sprite in particular is from Mega Man 10.



This thing is a whopping 2.5ft tall, used up 24 pegboards, and has a total of 9401 beads!



I can't even tell you how long it took total. I put the thing together in sections. I would do one pegboard then connect it to the entire thing I had laid out on a table. Near the end though, I ran out of beads (literally right at the end). I had order more beads before I could finish it, which took about a week.



Ironing was definitely the worst part of it. Ironing smaller perlers are also a pain for various reasons, but this.... First of all, the thing curled a lot after being ironed. That's because when the beads are melted, they curl. I didn't consider that at first and really made it a huge pain in the ass as I kept ironing, so eventually I got something heavy to keep the sections down as I was ironing. Overall, the ironing alone took about 5-6 hours. Definitely not fun...



In the end though, I'm glad with how it turned out, even if some sections don't look very good, but with something this big, it's impossible to get it to look perfect.
