12 units cube,
30 units sonobe
60 units spiked pentakis dodecahedron and
90 units sonobe
Using Striped sonobe unit designed by Meenakshi Mukerji @origamee , instructions available in her book Marvelous Modular Origami.
It was a real pleasure folding these geometric models. For 60 units pentakis and 90 units sonobe , i had to use glue... I assembled both of them and when i was half way through, i decided it's getting unstable. So i ripped them apart and started using glue.
But it was a good experience.
For 12 units and 90 units sonobe I've used 5 cm square papers.
For 60 units pentakis I've used 7 cm paper.
For 30 unit sonobe, I've used 7.5 cm.
Papers used: I've used harmony, duo and kami papers.
Until next time, Sayonara 🐿️🐿️🐿️
Spiked pentakis dodecahedron
I had to scratch my head a little bit to understand this polyhedron. I'm glad i could figure out in the end...
I used basic sonobe unit to construct this.
60 units and 7 cm papers used
I tried to assemble as is but the units kept falling out. I went on for sometime and gave up and used glue.

Unity next time, Sayonara 🦋🌺🌸🌹
In the photo, 360 units origami torus wreath, 360 units hybrid Bucky ball, 270 unit Bucky ball, 120 unit Bucky ball.
Totally 1110 units all together....
Phizz unit designed by Tom Hull.
For hybrid ball, the other unit used is penultimate units by Robert Neale...
Until next time....

Jaciara kusudama designed by Ekaterina Lukasheva
30 units. I took 3 inch square papers. It's a little difficult to assemble as the locks are not tight. So i used glue.
I used papers from Tuttle....

360 units origami Torus using Phizz units designed by @tomstermath Thomas Hull
5 cm square papers used
No glue
Took nearly 5-6 days....
It took me sometime to analyse the structure.... On YouTube there's a video by @origamitor_ ..He explains beautifully how to assemble, and even has provided the pattern... It helped me a great deal....
I felt like I should've selected just 3 colours... That's 120 each.. because with colour change the assembly is a little confusing. It took me a while to get a hang of it...
However while connecting, i would get so frustrated that i felt like just throwing away and quitting.... 🤣🤣 But i held myself together....
Connecting last molecule was a little tricky... But it's worth all the effort and sweat 💦💦💦 looks incredibly beautiful...
I selected 12 colour scheme. I didn't have enough papers.... So mix and matched whatever i was left with... Papers are from @tuttleorigami
Here's the video tutorial
Until next time, happy origami.... Sayonara 🦋🦋🦋🦋
Spiked Rhombicosidodecahedron and lesser stellated dodecahedron
Designed independently by Meenakshi Mukerji and Jeannine Mosely
Spiked rhombicosidodecahedron
120 units
5 cm square papers
Lesser stellated dodecahedron
30 units
7.5 cm square papers
For the 30 unit making and assembly is available at Ezorigami by Evan Zodl
I first folded stellated dodecahedron. It's very easy to make single units. When it comes to assembly, i started without glue. But as i went on building, the model became unstable. The units would come apart. I had tough time keeping everything together. I tried a lot to achieve assembly without glue for quite sometime. Then i gave up. I used glue.
I then took up, 120 units polyhedron. I folded few units and tried assembly as a trial fold. It seemed stabler than 30 units. But when i actually started, this assembly also became a challenge. I almost lost my patience and threw the incomplete model in bin. After sometime i regained my cool 😎 and took the half completed model from bin(which had dry waste, so model was intact and not dirty). I already had folded quite a lot of units, so I wanted to finish it somehow. So i went for glue and completed.
I personally dislike using glue, because it sticks to my hands and paper gets kind of wet, loses its crisp. It's a hassle to assemble. But when i have no other go, i use it.
That's the story behind these two models. Until next time , happy folding, Sayonara 🙋🙋🙋🙋😁
