This is probably the most time consuming Modular Origami of all time. It requires 120 square sheets of paper. But it is all worth the time and effort. This was my first attempt at this Modular Origami. Total time spent was 8 hours and 10 minutes. Good luck, Happy Folding!!

It looks great. Don't think I would have the patience lol. Apart from taking ages, is it actually that hard to put together? Or is it just awkward to do?

@Peterkr10 for me it was my first attempt and fairly simple to fit together all units. However you have to pay close attention to have a pentagon surrounded by 5 hexagons at all vertices, or else it wont form the shape.

I made a buckyball with 90 PHiZZ units before. I've never tried with 120 but it looks great!
