Kepler-Poinsot Polyhedra: Paper Models of Polyhedra Collection 4

The document describes how to make paper models of several Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra and regular polyhedra through folding instructions. These include the great and small stellated dodecahedrons made from 1, 2, or 5 pieces of paper with folding the long lines backwards and short lines forwards. The great icosahedron is shown made in 10 colors from 6 paper pieces. Folding instructions are also given for a small and large great dodecahedron made of 6 pieces with dotted lines folded forwards and other lines backwards.
