Rhombicosidodecahedron 20 regular triangular faces, 30 square faces, 12 regular pentagonal faces This was my 1st COMPLETED models using Tetrahedral Symmetry 210- units : total of 20 tetrahedra ( Yellow points) seperated by Triangle Prisms. 3 x 3 paper folded using the white capped sonobe variant. It gives a nice contrasted look. One major difference in this model is that I inverting the peaks instead of having the peaks out. I also used 2 Sonobe Variants, notice the white stripe on the black modules, this allowed me to use an additional color 'amp; maintain an even pattern. This model is fairly stable. towards the end it was difficult to assemble. This model took me about 16 hours divided over 7 days. This is a good model to work on, the number of units and the ease of assembly make it a good starter for anyone who wants to build a polyhedra using Terahedral symmetry. Once completed you can move on to a Great-rhombicosidodecahedron. the major difference is to replace the Tetrahedra with Triangle Cuppolae Traingular Cupola
