Compound of 5 Tetrahedra

Discovered by Edmund Hess in 1876, this twisty beauty is another favourite amongst geometers, and for model-makers, notoriously difficult when it comes to putting the last piece in! It's the compound of 5 tetrahedra. Can you spot one in each color? A stellation of the icosahedron and a faceting of the dodecahedron. See more photos and details about how I put that last piece in here: www.software3d.com/5Tet.php
