0.25 Cross-Section of Great Stellated 120-cell

The great stellated 120-cell is number 12 in the list of uniform polychora in Stella4D, with the abbreviated name "gishi". It is a regular polychoron, with 120 great stellated dodecahedra as its cells. This model is a 3D cross-section through the 4D polytope, taken 25% of the way through the model.

See this tutorial for some comments on obtaining nets for building paper models of 4D polytopes.

To ensure a robust model, I printed nets for a complete great stellated dodecahedron (yellow) and built other parts around this.
About half-way here. It's not too hard to put together.
