it seems like he should probably make something smaller to get some practice with electronics, TLC5940s, Arduino programming, etc.
Let's face it. The OP is never going to make a 10 X 10 X 10 cube, it is one of those over ambitious things a newcomer wants to do. It is a lot more complex than just getting the right circuit and wiring it up. I wouldn't attempt this myself and I have got a bit of experience. I would say that there is over six months of work here.
