Some shots taken while realizing an origami buckyball

 

 

I've made some photos because I think that they will be useful for others making this really beautiful modular origami.

You can find the instructions in the Thomas Hull origami page.

You can click on the thumbnail to open the photo in the large version.


All starts with some pieces
of rectangular paper...

Then you should begin to fold
many PHiZZ modules.

When you have many ready PHiZZ
modules you can start!

The first step is making the first
pentagon

Then you will make the "hat" of the
icosahedron adding many hexagon.

Then you should make the "body" of the
isocahedron

This is the model with the completed
body

Another view of the model without the
lower hat

Then you make the lower hat and this
is the completed model
