The panel-free monster - GrahamB[]

  1. Start by makeing a base "ring" of 5.
  2. Then with a bit care tilt the ring and create another.
  3. Keep adding until you have 15 points all joined up.
  4. Now you can start the delicate task of adding the final 5.
    • To make the stability slightly better it is possible to add a length of 8 rods with a single sphere at one end to keep the highest 5 points supported.
  5. Once you have added the last 5, using 2 rods at at time go around and link them all.
  6. Now you can finish the last supports with the remaining rods.
  7. Sit back and admire your effort.

This is Karl Horton's Modular Model, the only modification is that i removed the dodecahedra connecting module and added pannels to the half truncated icosahedra.
