Mathematical shapes can be created by making ‘Limping Seagulls’ - these are also called ‘Sonobe modules’. |
|
6 pieces will make a cube. A cube is also known as a hexahedron. |
|
Here are two of the pieces fitted together. |
|
12 pieces will make a stellated octahedron. Stellated means that it has points. |
|
30 pieces will make a stellated icosahedron. This has 20 points. |
|
You can also make the following shapes:
36 pieces - Stellated stellated hexahedron. 48 pieces - Semi stellated stellated cubocathedron. 90 pieces - Stellated stellated dodecahedron.
Shapes up to 48 pieces can be assembled without glue.
Larger shapes may require glue to hold them together.
It is possible to find a shape made up of 900 pieces on the internet.
