Description
UPDATE 06/08/13: after six years, we finally have a decent photo and a print!
Rainbow-coloured stellated truncated icosahedron. So many sheets of paper...
I worked out exactly how many squares of each colour I needed, and how it'd tone down in rainbow pattern...etc.
Took ages putting it together as I had a specific order in mind- worth it, though!
+ Tutorial !
+ 270 modules
+ Commissions

Thank you! I didn't do it all in one go but I think it took me about 3 hours to fold all the modules, and about an hour to put it all together correctly?

Whoa, this is something else. I can see why it got a DD when you first sumbitted it. 270 modules - that's impresssive in itself! Fantastic transition of the colours, too.

Nah nah nah, the modules are SUPER easy peasy. Try making six of them and putting them together to make a cube, you'll feel proud of yourself!

is that even possible to take apart of them? it's too beautiful to touch QAQ
i don't know how you can say it's super easy, but it worth a shot

It IS possible to take apart but would be difficult to put it all together again unless you dismantle the WHOLE thing

Would you be kind enough to show the pattern of the coloring? I have too many one-colored origami pieces in my room, haha.

You're welcome! Though, you might get fed up of folding those modules by the time you've made one ball...

I've got all the pieces folded but it sadly doesn't go into a ball

Oh no!

I think I did. I'm not too sure. I packed the pieces away for the time being since I recently started college. Maybe on a break ill try again

IT'S A SIGN.
You should have a bash at it, yes! Have you tried these sorts of modules before?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've done a couple modulars... but nothing that crazy haha. Yeah I'll prolly try to make one once I finish all this other stuff I have to work on. *sigh* Too much stuff to do...

Ever the human problem, too many things to do and too little time
