Rhombic Dodecahedron and its Stellations

With a single image these polyhedra are difficult to visualize, so here is a detailed view. The best way to get an overall impression however is to create a physical model.

 

Left to right: the convex solid, 1st, 2nd and 3rd stellation

Top down: stellation diagram, 2-fold axis, 3-fold axis, 4-fold axis

 

The stellation diagram shows the faces of a polyhedron, these are also clearly visible in the first row of pictures. All models actually share the same color scheme, 2 enantiomorphic forms are possible.
