K-5 Galaxy Stewart K5/12Q5S5(E5) Cupola Drilled Truncated Icosidodecahedron

A work in progress of my K-5 Galaxy Stewart - Cupola Drilled Truncated Icosidodecahedron

I have attached 3 of the Pentagonal cupolas and joined them by 1 hexagon unit. & 3 square flat units.
You can see here where the gold prism squares surround hexagon between the the drilled decagons.

The hexagon unit shown here is not yet permanently attached . I wanted to give a visual on how the exterior shell will look.
The hexagon unit is what I based the color theme of the model from. I like the gold embellishments so i chose gold flake paper (the gold squares of the pentagonal cupolas)

It is structurally the same exact shape as this :

The difference is the way the decagonal holes are drilled

The Cupola drilled project ( blue /gold) Unit Count & Colors
Rhombicosidodecahedron "core"
20 Triangle flat units= Peacock blue foil gift wrap w/ gold embellishment
30 Square flat units= gold3/brown #CDAD00 205.173.0
12 Pentagonal Antiprisms (attached to pentagon openings)
120 Triangle flat units: 60 skyblue 0688b 0 104 139
60 gold shiny/prism
12 Pentagonal Cupolas attached to 12 antiprisms
60 Square flat units: gold paper gift wrap
60 Triangle flat units = gold shiny prism origami paper.
Surfaces between Square Cupolas / drilled decagon holes
20 Hexagon flat units =Peacock blue #06688b foil gift wrap w/ gold embellishment.
30 Square flat units = Gold shiny prism origami paper.

Total = 340 units excluding joining tabs
200 Triangle flat units
120 Square flat units
20 hexagon units (If you prefer to use flat triangle units to make hexagons you will need additional 120 flat triangle units bringing total unit count required for this to 440-
=====================================================================
The Multicolored Rotunda-Drilled Truncated Icosidodecahedron
Total = 620 total units (not including joining tabs)
60 Black Squares
560 Flat Triangle Units-used as follows:
120 shiny triangles : these will be the triangles inside the rotunda walls.
60 colored Pentagonal pyramids ( each made with 5 triangle flat units+ 10 joining tabs.
20 colored hexagons ( each made with 6 triangle flat units + 5 joining tabs)
20 additional colored Flat Triangle units ( these make up the inner polygon

I use Antiprism =Polyhedra modeling software to plan & design

all details are on my flickr galleries linked in original post.

feel free to ask any details
