This won't interest ANYONE but I think it's nifty.
Last week I got back into origami and for some reason I've been making lots of Sonobe units. Today I learnt that you can't make a 3-colour stella octangula and have every vertex comprise all three colours, but you can make one with every vertex having 3 colours or 1 colour, and this looks really cool because it has these nifty triskelions on it.

Now experimenting to see if I can make a <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_dodecahedron">great dodecahedron</a> by turning the Sonobes inside-out.

I think it is nifty too, but you know that already

Do you have instructions on how to make the sonobe units into shapes? I have one that someone gave me that I accidentally broke apart, and I can't quite figure out how to reassemble it! I've figured out how to join the three sonobe units to make one of the sections, but beyond that, I am stuck. It's mostly together minus six sonobe units...

Oops.
