Rhombic Dodecahedron (Nick Robinson, A4 rhombic unit)
and its 3 stellations (designed by me). Each model is folded from 12 rectangles, using 4 different colors.
The surface of this polyhedra can be completely covered in silver rhombi which is unique (some are folded along the short diagonal though). The only other polyhedra I can think of where the convex solid and its stellation(s) show only one polygon is the octahedron (equilateral triangles this time).
The first stellation is basically a Rhombic Dodecahedron with "hats". I modified M. Mukerji's unit (Compound of 5 Octahedra) to create this polyhedron. There are numerous origami renditions of it (now one more), famous models are the designs of Froy (Burr Puzzle) and J. Mosely. In my opinion David Mitchell's version is very elegant and fun to fold.
As far as I know, my models of the second and third stellation are the first paper renditions of this polyhedra assembled without glue. They are actually 12-part stick puzzles. This makes the assembly a little bit challenging. More information about this kind of structures can be found here: Stewart Coffin's The Puzzling World of Polyhedral Dissections.
