Last time you made a square of text, but now, can you make a cube of text?

The Challenge

Given a string, output the string in the form of a cube.

You can assume the string will always have 2 chars or more, and will only have printable ascii characters.

Reference Implementation in Python

text = raw_input("Enter a string: ")
print " " * (len(text) - 1) + text
spaces = len(text) - 2
_spaces = spaces
for i in range(1, len(text) - 2 + 1):
 print " " * spaces + text[i] + " " * _spaces + text[(i + 1) * -1] + " " * (_spaces - spaces) + text[(i + 1) * -1]
 spaces -= 1
print text[::-1] + " " * _spaces + text[0]
spaces = _spaces - 1
for i in range(1, len(text) - 2 + 1):
 print text[(i + 1) * -1] + " " * _spaces + text[i] + " " * spaces + text[i]
 spaces -= 1
print text

Rules

• This is code-golf, so shortest answer in bytes wins! Tiebreaker is most upvoted.
• Standard loopholes are disallowed.
• Trailing newline and trailing spaces are allowed.
