Oblate rhombohedron of icosahedra

Model: TKR030

Polyhedral radial expansion and regular crystal lattices through dodecahedra and icosahedra periodicity. From the above comes a spatial transformation into a 3D rhombohedron (hexahedron), which characterises the radial expansion of many so called Quai-crystals, Bucky Tubes, Bucky Balls etc. In some cases, several differing types of rhombohedra are required for the regular growth of a single model. All, though make use of the same 2D rhombohedron unit cell. 1. Triacontahedra or alternatively, Rhombic Icosahedrons. 2. Rhombic Dodecahedron. 3. Rhombohedra (Hexahedron). 4. Oblate rhombohedron. The models made with the golden rhombus exhibits either tenfold or fivefold rotational symmetry.

Thanks . . .

After I find yours work here, I also tried to connect icosahedrons, and I got something else.

I can send you my files in DWG format if you wish . . . :-]
