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

That must have taken a lot of times. And patience. And calculating.

For this one I think each module was made from a square of side 3.5cm roughly?

Bah, this is a stellated football. So I had to figure out how to fit together the pentagon and hexagon faces so that it was all symmetrical etc.
Thank you!

It's not that daunting a project; just takes a little time.

she doesn't seem to be very good about teaching stuff outside curriculum- does she stick really strictly to the syllabi?

Ja, she does...plus she gossips with us I guess? But not about Classics.

I USUALLY only make little ones, stellated dodecahedrons and cubes and stuff, but this is infinitely more satisfying. And time-consuming.
