Starting with the rhombic triacontahedron, I tetstelled it three times, and found this unusual polyhedron. It has eighteen faces: six parallelograms, and twelve trapezoids.
Here’s what happened when I used Stella 4d‘s “try to make faces regular” function on the polyhedron above.
This solid has six rhombic faces, and twelve faces which are kites. Here is its dual:
Next, I returned to the red-and-yellow solid above, and tetstelled it numerous times, producing a compound of a cube and a distorted rhombic dodecahedron.
A few more tetstells produced this interesting three-part compound.
