[MOC] Ice sphere

Recommended Posts

Here is a little MOC for your enjoyment.  It is a sphere (more precisely, a spherical icosidodecahedron), made entirely from one part, the trans 1x2 plate (1950 of them).  It was very hard to put together, but it is very sturdy!

I'm just flabbergasted.  How much time did this take, all of those plates, didn't you go a bit crazy towards the end?  Really well done, and I like that it is sturdy as well.

Thanks!  Actually it only took a few hours.  E.g. 1950 plates at 1 per second would only be 32 minutes.  The hard part was getting the six rings aligned correctly - when only a few are present they do not hold together on their own...
