I just joined this lovelllly forum because I wanted to know do you guys know any good sites with diagrams to different kinds of polyhedrons?

I just finished assembling Thomas Hull's Five Intersecting Tetrahedra and tho all the folding and assembling took almost four hours, it was so much fun to make and see with your own eyes before you.

I'm fairly new to origami, but I have always loved a challenge and diagrams to any kinds of polyhedrons would be greatly appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the Forum Image

Have a look at this site, I think it´s one of the best places on the web about all kinds of polyhedra in Origami.

If you click on the link that I posted, and then on the ball, you will know the number of units :D
