It is interesting (at least I think it's interesting!!!!) to compare the stellation of the pentagonal icositetrahedron on the left with the isohedron on the right.
The one on the left is a sort of special case of the one on the right, whereby the reflex angled point of the non-convex pentagon is situated on the opposite edge.

Nice. I should point out though that the octahedron and cube have the same symmetries, but I know what you mean

A very polished result ! I've been experimenting with different types of card recently, so my final output has been pitiful. I struggled to produce a great stellated dodecahedron using metallic card and almost binned it more than once. However, the final result was very neat (for me). My first mistake was to use UHU, which ate the coating. Single tabs were necessary as the card is quite thick and tough. It takes a lot of determination to get a good result, doesn’t it ? Well done!

Haven't been around for a while and look so many posts. And I thought that I would receive mail. I guess I have to check my settings.
Anyway. Just wanted to say 1 thing here.
I share your love for chiral models! Besides the fact that they are usually more challenging to build, I think they are intriguing.
