Pentagonal truncated icosahedron toroid - 4 - Six strips assembled

I'm now to six strips in place, and the structure starts to become clearer (at least to me...) :

 

You can see a completed pentagon on the top, it is one of the pentagons filling the pentagonals holes. For this hole there will be a second pentagon which will be on top of this one. This is why I started with these strips, this pentagon will become next to impossible to reach latter...

 

Around this pentagon, the five strips which form a kind of flower around it show how it will be surrounded by five dodecahedra.

 

Also, some parts are now more or less holding together alone, I can remove some of the paperclips. It was time, I'm begining to run out of paperclips !

 

Next : First layer completed !
