Truncated Rhombic Triacontahedron

Resembling the geometry of a soccerball (truncated icosahedron), this shape is composed of pentagons and hexagons. Technically the pentagons of this model are indented. The hexagons are irregular based on the golden proportion (you can see this because there are corners where 3 hexagons meet, which would otherwise be flat if the hexagons were regular).

 

The model was folded from 30 squares.
