Hi Ray:
I was wondering, how many units did you used to build the one which is a kind of an icosahedron?
Congratulations, they are great.
Thanks
Here are a few sonobe icosahedrons I folded from paper ranging in size from 1.5 inch origami paper to 24 inch poster board.
Enjoy!
Here is my take on the dodecahedron, using 180(?) units. I made these instructions for my students at American University in my MATH 154 course. (I also made other videos.) Donna Dietz
