made some stuff out of non-PHiZZ units this time. Hope you like it.

first up is the "rhombicuboctahedron"

This is another one of Tom Hull's creations, made from 24 units designed to do exactly this. by far the most frustrating thing i have assembled to date.

This is a dodecahedron made from "hackey sack units"

which i spray painted black...

...and then painted green and white

This one is actually for someone's birthday, since i have no money to buy useful gifts with. I think it turned out alright. made of 30 hackey sack units, and some paint.

this is the same as above, but very tiny

bonus mini-dodecahedron for you :3.

edit: whoops forgot all about this one:

is it a cube?

or a rose!

General:

first of all note that the hackey sack unit and PHiZZ unit are very similar in that you can only make shapes in which all vertices have a degree of three, so the following videos apply to both.
