EHUploaded by Edward HolmesMay 24, 2026
This model, is folded from 30 golden rectangles of kraft paper, each measuring 44.8mm x 72.5mm. The completed model measures approximately 11cm at its widest point. This photo shows the models five-fold symmetry, with an even colour distribution. The unit is almost identical to that of the [Rhombic Hexecontahedron](https://www.ezorigami.com/folds/rhombic-hexecontahedron-c3de), except both flaps are valley folds when viewed from the outside.

This model has been in progress for over half a year... I paused when I'd completed five stages, then completed the smallest three stages when I attended Origami Deutschland's 36th Convention, in Bonn. It's folded from 64 squares of silver/black duo kraft paper. The colours Evan picked seemed to work well, so I went with the same! Paper for the largest stage measures 100mm, and paper for the eighth stage measures just 15.38mm! The overall model measures 200mm between points.
