Assembling a modular (stellated dodecahedron)

Post by Brimstone »

Maybe is because I don't like modulars that much but a friend of mine asked me for help on assembling a modular and I couldn't help him.

It is the 20 point star or stellated dodecahedron at http://geocities.com/jordimastrullenque ... #torinstru

How do you assemble the modules?

You insert the point into the pocket :D
I will post osome pictures as soon as I can upload them.
If you have completed the module correctly, then it should be obvious how it fits together. You need three individule models to make the first point. And I folded it, and I think it took 32 modules, not 30....

Nevermind, my wife who is not an origamist but that has a better "space relationship" than me, found out how.

Now does anyone know the creator of this model? I am sure it is not the guy on the webpage

that is the translated page. Apparently, the upkeeper of the website did indeed design the model (I don't know who that is, but it seems you do). But someone else also found the same model. (Babinsky victory?)

There is a girl asking for help on this same model on this thread viewtopic.php?t=1486

Now that you've folded it, could you please give her some hints on how to assemble one 3-module unit with the next?
