A Geomag classic: pentagonal torii stitched together into a dodecahedron.
Building Instructions
- Build a Pentagonal Torus module: it is helpful to build an extra module out of a different color and leave it nearby, because its really easy to get lost whilst building.
- Build another torus
- Strip the edge of one torus to join the two together
- Rest the linked modules on the hinge, and erect scaffolding poles to support the modules at the right angle.
- Now, resist the temptation to proceed onwards with modules. Instead, learn how to build the diamond-shaped tube in-place on the model. Use a contrasting color for the true edges of the dodecahedron to keep yourself orientated.
- Let the structure grow at first like a bowl, then like a dome. Keep the build balanced and keep evolving the model with an eye to the symmetry.
