Foo Fighter jigsaw puzzle?

[wicked_gravity]

after all this time, I FINALLY brought out the Sonic Highways Foo puzzle. I've spent several hours already (with minimal help from family) and it's rough!

1000 pieces, with many dark, sky, or blended buildings, and many pieces that are similar in size. I figured I'd finish by tomorrow but now I am not so sure!

... have entire outer edge completed and a couple of the main buildings, but a long way off.

Took me over a week on and off to finish it.

break time!

Good to know, I am determined! Just spent another couple hours. It still seems so far off.

Did you do anything w/ yours? The reason I've been wanting to do it is to then glue & frame it, and hang it in the rec room.

Still chugging along ... about 3/4 complete but now back to work so updates on progress may be slow! I had hoped to finish by yesterday but it's a hard puzzle, I didn't make it. Back to work now so won't have much time, I better have it done by the weekend!

I don't recall it taking me that long

Ha, it's a bit brutal! But we made good progress last night, I believe we'll complete it by tomorrow.

I can't tell you how many times ... at least 20 ... that I/we had pieces in the wrong spot because they look the same and seem to fit! I actually had to get a magnifying glass to check more closely to see where some mistakes were, i.e. when I found other areas that were not making sense.

I think I should be able to sue for stress.

I was thinking about gluing it and framing it but tbh it didnt look that great - because its such a detailed picture the puzzle pieces detracted from the overall effect.

Yes, and you didn't say it, but gluing/framing a puzzle is definitely a white trashy thing. But nevertheless, I like the picture and I'm doing it! I'm stuck now as i already bought a 24x24 frame.

And finally finished last night! It's already glued & waiting to dry...

I love the picture, combining all the cities into one scene & with all the 8s, I think it's great!

Nah it's not that white trashy. It definitely works for a man cave or something like that. Especially the Foo Fighters ones. I'd love to see the pic of it when you're done, Wicked.

Well I'm not too happy unfortunately. I was going to buy "puzzle glue" but decided to check out youtube on gluing/framing ... and the one I found said to just use elmer's glue, so I did. I think that was a mistake, it definitely took the glossy, shiny look from the picture.

But now it's too late, it's glued and I already bought the frame so I guess I'm stuck w/ it. That is unless anyone has a puzzle they are willing to part with, or sell!

I'd trade mine for a set of FF nesting dolls
