A Compound of a Slightly Stretched Truncated Icosahedron and the Rhombic Triacontahedron
Sixty Pentagons and Twenty Hexagons
Snub Cube Variant

Five, Six, Seven
The post immediately before this one features a polyhedron with faces which are all either pentagons, hexagons, or heptagons, and here’s another solid which meets the same criteria. I created it using Stella 4d, which you may try for free at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
A Polyhedron with Pentagons, Hexagons, and Heptagons as Faces
This polyhedron has 60 heptagonal faces, 20 faces which are regular hexagons, and 72 pentagonal faces. I made it using Stella 4d, which you can try for free at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
Two Non-convex Polyhedra with Cuboctahedral Symmetry
I made both of these while playing around with Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator, a program you can try out for free at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
A Polyhedron with Isosceles Trapezoids and Regular Pentagons as Faces
I created this using Stella 4d, which you can try for free at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
A Non-Convex, Pyritohedral Dodecahedron with Non-Convex Pentagonal Faces
I created this using Stella 4d, which you can try for free at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php. Starting with the Platonic dodecahedron, I dropped the symmetry of the model down from icosahedral to tetrahedral, then stellated it six times. I also put the resulting polyhedron into “rainbow color mode” before making this .gif image.
Here’s a net for this solid. To build it, you’ll need six copies of this net.
