FIT + Black Hole

Here's a new model, made to make my OUSA convention table look less plain. Folded from 60 1x9 rectangles of kami.

 

Here it is in my hand as if I were summoning a ball of colorful energy xD

 

This model is to the Great Rhombic Triacontahedron as the Quadra-hadra-pudra-phedron is to the Medial Rhombic Triacontahedron. I've known for a long time that I "should" be able to make this model, but never got around to it.

 

Just like the Quadra-hadra-pudra-phedron, this model is made up of 12 5-piece woven-stars which are then woven into the final model. However, the dimensions and angles are all different.

 

I have named this model FIT + Black Hole because it looks kind of like an FIT (Five Intersecting Tetrahedra) whose edges are being sucked/stretched into a ball in the middle.

 

EDIT: It seems I am mistaken about the relationship between this and the QHPP... That was originally what I was trying to do, but it seems I have accidentally created this as an extra model by following a different assembly. What a fortunate accident! This is more closely related to an interpretation of the Great Stellated Dodecahedron, but it's not such a clear relationship.
