I made it out of white cartridge paper back in the 60s.
I'm thinking of making it again, but this time in colour. Presumably six colours for the coplanar pairs of pentagrams, ten colours for the coplanar pairs of triangles, but how many colours will I need for the coplanar pairs of squares?

I've begun the last of the Icosahedral Isohedra. It is ridiculously difficult to assemble - a wonderful collection of linkages that move the tabs away from each other when the cement has been applied. It's two thirds of the way there. I've had to walk away from it to avoid the temptation of crushing ...

Isohedra with non-convex faces
My mathematics are sadly lacking. Has anybody here got the necessary mathematical ability to translate the equations and values in the paper referenced below into exact x-y co-ordinates or whatever to enable me to draw the faces necessary to make the polyhedra illustrated in Figs 10 thru 13 of the ...

The compound of five octohemioctahedra is a bit of a teaser - all the faces, both triangles and hexagons, are in coplanar pairs. It would be quite a pain to make. The flat central part of each triangle pair will need to be divided into 6 scalene triangles of alternating colours. Each dart shaped ...

This compound has an unusual characteristic - it can be made from 24 pieces of card, each folded to make a vertex as the sum of angles at said vertex is 360 degrees. There is no need to cut and join. Obviously the twinned vertices are different.
