Capped Icosahedron via Sonobe Modules

Okay so this model is known as a Capped Icosahedron and it is made from the Sonobe Module. It was very easy to make and only took about 2 hours to make all the modules and assemble them as seen in the below pictures.  If you would like help in putting th various module parts together I used this page as reference.



Icosahedron via Triangle Edge Modules


So here it is months later.... my first Icosahedron model made from Triangle Edge Modules. I put it together late at night and screwed it up so it is not colored correctly but I didn't have the heart to take it apart. I made it based on instructions from this great YouTube video.

PHIZZ Dodecahedron

I just completed my first Module Origami Creation in many years. It is a dodecahedron made out of Pentagon-Hexagon Zig-Zag units (PHiZZ units). The PHiZZ unit is very simple to make and should be very easy for anyone to make. I decided not to get to ambitious and made a simple dodecahedron. This required 30 PHiZZ units.

I did try and make the dodecahedron with an edge chromatic color of 3. I failed to pay close attention to what I was doing and ended up having 2 of the same colors touching. I just don't feel like taking it apart so next time I will pay more attention. Not bad for my first try though!

Here are some pictures. My next project is an Icosahedron made out of Triangle Edge Modules.

In case you want to try to make your own Dodecahedron here are some links I used to make mine!!!
