A series of jitterbug and tensegrity models

Three transforming models in the jitterbug series. The digonal version transforms from tetrahedron to snub disphenoid to gyrobifastigium. The triangular version transforms from octahedron to icosahedron to cuboctahedron. The square version transforms from square antiprism to snub square antiprism to square gyrobicupola. The models flatten by similar transformations. The models also have associated tensegrites.

Thanks! The models are a hobby. I generally make computer models but there is a range of transformation possible with the models which is easier to investigate with a physical model. There are some similar physical and computer models on my profile website.

Really cool! Did you make them for anything in particular or just as a hobby?
