Alf, that's the best computer-generateed version of it I've seen.  You 
got the angle and the dimensions correct, reproducing what I consider 
the most important feature of Escher's work, the hexagon of empty space 
just above the center.  Too many others just seem to say, "well, I got 
the boxes and the rectangular tubes, just like Escher, see?"  Escher was 
clearly emphasizing, as usual, the duality of object/space, contrasting 
the hexagonal cross-sectional shape of the cubes with that of the empty 
space.  (Or so I've always thought.)
