I have done 5 times smaller size on the modular. it took forever to fold and put it together, but I lost it in the move. It was fun to do.

It took me awhile to figure out how to put the modules together but after eyeballing it and seeing how I want it to be shaped like, I got it to work. Thanks for the great instructible, I'm gonna try making a bigger one later!
