Stellated polyhedra

 From the 59 different stellations of the icosahedron, the sixth and final are presented here as cut-out models to glue together. Each of the models is coloured to draw attention to all the planes and surfaces which are related to each other.

Compound polyhedra

 A kit book containing two large models to cut out and glue together: the compound of five cubes and the compound of ten tetrahedra.
