looks like a pattern of five hexagons placed around a pentagon

This one's gonna be tough. Gonna give a try though.

"This polyhedron can be constructed from an icosahedron with the 12 vertices truncated (cut off) such that one third of each edge is cut off at each of both ends. This creates 12 new pentagon faces, and leaves the original 20 triangle faces as regular hexagons. Thus the length of the edges is one third of that of the original edges."

icosa- is from the Ancient Greek eíkosi meaning twenty

SW2020, nice challenge! I made assembly from pentagon and hexagon surfaces in 10 minutes, but when i tried to make a part (one body) i got some mistakes, it took me 30 min.

My surfacing capabilities are severely lacking. I expect surfaces would be the superior way to do this.

its really very good training model ...thx alot for that

Another great challenge, but do-able with some persistence.

I started with an Icosahedron since I figured out how to make that shape with three golden rectangles. Material was trimmed from the vertices to form the pentagons (like Bob mentioned above).

I should have used patterns to speed this along but didn't realize it soon enough.

great practice on circular patterns.

Already made this stuff over 11 years ago :)

Some fun work in boring times

Truncated Icosahedron

If you cut off the corners of an icosahedron it becomes a Buckyball.

And this may help to design an icosahedron :)

Just playing around

I surrend on this one for now.

Nice exercise, never used the patch and sculpt functions
