      An idea for the holidays.

      Cut 30 pieces like this:

      Then have fun sliding them toghether to obtain this:

      Precise instructions and ready-to-print templates: here and here

      Of course, you can also obtain similar results using sketchup

      I also built one with colored thick paper and it is actually fun.

                      You might enjoy making models of some of Bathsheba's work too -http://www.bathsheba.com.

                      Here's a model inspired to [url=http://www.bathsheba.com/sculpt/metatrino/:3dwc88vc]Bathsheba's Metatrino[/url:3dwc88vc] (I didnt model many details but it has the same structure: the cube and its dual, the octahedron)

                      If anyone wants to try, the [url=http://www.bathsheba.com/sculpt/metatron/:3dwc88vc]Metatron[/url:3dwc88vc] could be fun.

                        The more curious is that Bathsheba describe all his works and all his numerous tools and there is not TopMod inside!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                          Nice renderings Pilou, thanks.
                          Contributions are always wellcome.

                          The command for connecting two faces in TopMod
                          is actually really useful.
                          Btw, are you a developper of TopMod?

                            Pilou,

                            As might be deduced from the name, Bathsheba is a She. But thank you for the link. This is mind-boggling stuff. She lives near me. I'll have to see her sculptures.
