:D Very nice bucky ball, kmyerslp!

David Brill's "Brilliant Origami" is a great source of diagrams for various polyhedras. You can probably find it at a local library, if you have one nearby.

That Cosmosphere looks fun. Hope the module isn't too bad. I browsed all of my local libraries with no luck. And I know it's against the rules to ask for models from books. I'm also very cheap. (I mean come on, i'm folding paper for entertainment. :P )

A local library actually had the book, I was soo happy to see it. Looked up pictures on the net and was designing mine. Here's what I came up with. No one sells black printer paper(went to 5 stores looking). So I went with Neon Green and Neon Blue.

Any other designs you think would look good? Tips? Comments? Before I get started.

I threw that picture together kind of fast, sorry for the non finished pictures.

I'm from missouri, the book had only been checked out one other time. Anyways, the module is complicated, If there is a similar in size modular sphere that I could make, someone mention it. I went out and bought 1000 sheets of neon paper and made a design for the cosmosphere to make it. Then I tried the the module and said nevermind.
