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.
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?
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.
Since rhombic triacontahedra can form pentagonal rings, triangular rings, and square rings, I wanted to find out if a rhombicosidodecahedron could be built out of these building blocks. As you can see here, the attempt was a success. Each rhombic triacontahedron which appears here is located at the vertex of a rhombicosidodecahedron.
