FOR two weeks Peter Tarlington had to be patient in the extreme, putting together what’s recognised as one of the most difficult jigsaw puzzles ever made.

The puzzle was not only made up of a mind-boggling 975 pieces, each of those tiny pieces had complex designs on them, parts of miniature Mickey Mouses.

“I had to notice the shape and colour of the faces, whether they had teeth or not, all sorts of weird things,” Mr Tarlington told Dubbo Photo News.

“All the shapes were irregular, odd shapes, you just had to work it out.”

The border not being square added to the challenges.

“A lot of it didn’t lock-in until you got another piece inside it. I had to stickytape things together and hope I had the right pieces in the right spot,” he said.

Mr Tarlington said he’d be happy to do it all over again

“It was just good to have this project while we were in isolation,” he said.

“Every time I’d walk past I’d find a piece.

“It’s very important to keep yourself occupied, walking, reading or doing puzzles, you just have to keep doing things – with this puzzle I just had to be very patient.”

Peter Tarlington took two weeks to complete this jigsaw puzzle – he says it’s important to stay active and occupied during isolation.
