![]() 1. Connect 3 units to form a raised pyramid. See here for details. Letters mark the three points of reference on the pyramid. |
![]() 2. Rotate the pyramid so you are looking at edge A. This edge is composed of two colors (orange and blue). |
![]() 3. Add two units of the same colors (orange and blue): first insert the tab of a blue unit into the pocket of the orange unit. |
||
![]() 4. Then insert the tab of an orange unit into the pocket of the blue unit you just added in step 3. |
![]() 5. Complete this section by inserting the blue tab (from the original pyramid of step 1) into the pocket of the orange unit added in step 4. |
![]() 6. Rotate the model so you see edge B of the original pyramid. Note: this edge is composed of two colors (blue and white). |
||
![]() 7. Add two more units here: first insert a white unit into the pocket of the blue unit. |
![]() 8. Then insert a blue unit into the pocket of the white unit added in step 7. |
![]() 9. Complete this section by inserting the white tab (from original pyramid made in step 1) into the blue unit added in step 8. |
||
![]() 10. Rotate the model so you are looking at edge C and repeat. |
![]() 11. Add an orange unit, |
![]() 12. Then add a white unit. |
||
![]() 13. Complete by tucking orange tab into the white unit. Note: where 4 units come together, there are 2 colors in an alternating pattern. |
![]() Rotate the model freely and tuck in tabs that are sticking out like the ones indicated with arrows. |
![]() 14. Turn the model over. Add the remaining 3 units here. Add the units so that all raised pyramids are of 3 different colors. |
||
![]() 15. Last step: close the model by bringing the tabs together and insert them into the appropriate pockets. Tuck any tabs that are left flapping. |
![]() Sonobe stellated octahedron is done! |
![]() Same model in different orientations. |
