This was made by the augmentation of a great dodecahedron, using snub dodecahedra on each face. I used software available at http://www.software3d.com/stella.php.

The Augmented Great Dodecahedra III
Image
In this construction, I took the polyhedral cluster found in the last two posts, and augmented every pentagonal face with yet another great dodecahedron. I used software you can find at http://www.software3d.com/stella.php.
The Augmented Great Dodecahedron II

To make this, I used the polyhedron found in the last post, using software I bought at http://www.software3d.com/stella.php, to alter the coloring scheme to make each face a different color unless it is parallel to another, in which case it has the same color as all parallel faces.
Which coloring-scheme do you like best?
The Augmented Great Dodecahedron

Begin with one great dodecahedron, and then augment each face with another, and you get this. I used software you may find at http://www.software3d.com/stella.php to make it.
Cluster of Cuboctahedra
Image
A cuboctahedron sits at the center of this rotating cluster, but you can’t see it, because each of its fourteen faces (six squares and eight equilateral triangles) has another cuboctahedron, of equal size, attached to it.
