Geodesic Spheres

Truncated Icosahedrons (TI-1500 r/c) 150 cm (5 ft)diameter. ( pictured on the left of the picture to the left )
These spheres are made from flat sheets of polystyrene consisting of 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons. this is the basic shape of a foot ball.

 STI-120 g/c - This is an icosahedron ( Pictureed right, being held up ) , with each of the 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons having a champhered face, giving a total of 180 triangular faces. Interesting effects can be achieved by leaving some of the panels out - as illustrated
