      @@rving642 Luckily my partner is a good carpenter which clearly helped. Used 12ml mdf boards cut to size. Screwed to wall into the studs. Fixed horizontal and vertical surrounds to ensure puzzle is level (same principle as tiling). In 500 piece segments, mod-podge the front and allowed to dry. I had my sections stacked on foam core in the correct running order. Use pva glue on back and mount to mdf board, starting with bottom left corner moving in horizontal rows. Importantly, the small 500pc glued sections ensure the 'ins & outs' zip together cleanly. Larger dried modpodged sections do not fit together snugly (shrinkage and such, learned from past experience). Took a very long day to mount! It's always been a great talking point with visitors, lol. Hth 🙂

    OMG....I am so excited you are tackling this during the pandemic. The biggest puzzle I completed was 8000 pieces and when it was completed, 6 pieces were missing😱. I used foam board also and taped them together to extend over my dining room table. If you haven’t already planned this, as you finish each bag/foam layer, spread your next bag on a new layer of taped foam board and then complete layer two. When finished with all 4 layers, take a fifth layer of foam board, place on top of 4 layers, and then tape all 5 layers of foam board around edges. This will allow you to move your layers with little or no piece movement, allowing you to join them for photography😀. I’ll be following your progress and hope you don’t let this puzzle take over your apartment and “LIFE”! Fun! Fun! Fun!

    My wife and I found 40 puzzles in a thrift shop that was closing down. I offered them 50 cents each for the whole bunch and they excepted. We had about 20 Wheels puzzles that after Mod-podging them on cardboard we mounted them on my garage door on hooks. As the door raised the puzzles go vertical , then slowly stays that way as the door closes. But what I wanted to ad was, we noticed people on CZcams using a paint brush to Mod-Podge a puzzle however, We found that a plastic squeegee worked much better forcing the glue into the puzzle cracks. The pink squeegees that is used in Bondo body repair that's sold at automobile parts store worked much better that a paint bush. We love, my wife and I, watching your videos and have become a puzzle couple. Keep up the great work, Ft. Myers, Florida and Retired.

    I live super close to the Educa factory in Spain, when that puzzle came out, some Schools got it (Maybe Educa gave it to them?). That box was in my School's hallway for the most time I was there, but it never got started, I guess no teacher was brave enough to do this with the children hahaha.

    Back when it came up, my whole family tackled "The Sixtine Chapel" puzzle, also from Educa, which was 18000 pieces. It came in four bags and we didn't mix them up. It was a family tradition of ours to get a big puzzle for Christmas and we typically finished it by the summer (we usually worked on the puzzles in our vacation home). But this one took almost two years to complete. It is a great image for a puzzle: not only is it beautiful, but it has a lot of fine detail and plenty of very useful straight lines and "frames".

It doesn't have the 4 inner and outer pieces. It only has 4 different puzzle pieces. And the don't always line up exactly. That's an other challenge I found out. Good luck to you Karen!
