Small spheres

So I made 3 different designs based on the original lowell sphere.

 

The first one looks no different from a regular 4x4 lowell sphere but instead of 24 1x2 jumper plates it uses only 12 2x2 jumper plates. It also doesn't require 24 corner plates which are pretty scarce in my collection.

 

The second one is an adorable 3x3 lowell sphere. That one would actually be very easy to make with the new 3x3 "Flickr: Explore!" But I don't have any of those. So the inside structure is very important. It's all purist and uses legal connection.

 

And the last one is a tiny 2x2 lowell sphere. Now THAT was tricky to come up with. I spent about an hour on the design. It's purist but uses illegal connections if that's any clue to you.

 

So if anyone has any ideas how to make them you're welcome to guess. I'm pretty sure you will figure out the big ones pretty quickly but that 2x2 is hopefully going to be a challenge. Best of luck!
