Jupiter
30 units, designed by me. This origami model is heavily inspired by Stewart Coffin's eponymous wooden puzzle. Although it looks similar (same coloring and seams) it has a different internal structure. Upon closer study, its 6-coloring reveals some interesting properties. Crease pattern and some additional pictures can be found here.
The design represents one of the stellations of the Rhombic Triacontahedron. The small pictures show the 3- and 5-fold-axes.
There is also another recent origami rendition of this polyhedron, designed by Fergus Currie. For my version, I used Robert Webb's Stella: Polyhedron Navigator to get the accurate angles and distances. Folding all the modules took quite a long time and the assembly of the last units especially was a nightmare fun.
