10. Cool PAPER BALL // stop motion // The truncated dodecahedron

The truncated dodecahedron is the polyhedron whose facial planes are triangles and decagons. You may again use the four-colour dodecahedral arrangement for the decagons and make all the triangles a fifth colour. Around a R decagon cement in order a Y, B, G, B, G decagon alternating with O tri-angles. The next set of decagons is Y, R, Y, B, R; the first Y of this set adjoining the G that comes between the two B decagons in the first set. The rest of the O triangles are then cemented in place.

This polyhedron does not have a particularly pleasing shape, perhaps because the area of the decagons is very large compared with that of the triangles. For the same reason a model of this polyhedron must be made with the decagons reinforced or stiffened on the inside, say with double thickness card, otherwise these faces have a tendency to sag. On the other hand if you keep the model small, this reinforcing is not necessary.

Great video! Love the stop motion technique… and of course the cute dog at the end 2:29
