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"

...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.

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.
Tom Hull on large buckyballs, part one
Tom Hull on large buckyballs, part two
PHiZZ units:
