Michelangelo created the Sistine Chapel in four years, it took the Cubes Work Studio only 400 hours.
Eleven puzzle addicts got together and for a period of just over two weeks re-created Michelangelo's Hand of God using a record breaking 12,090 Rubik's cubes.
They had to twist each Rubix cube to get the colours just right. They took the image off of the computer but the colours and shading were difficult to identify because of the quality of the image.
So Josh Chalom, the creative director made sure they "restored the piece so Adam didn't look like he just came out of a tanning salon and God didn't look so red that he resembled his arch-rival."
