Jitterbug Cuboctahedron

When 20 of Tung Ken Lam’s jitterbug modules are assembled together, a jitterbug icosidodecahedron is the result. This is also my Gravatar and I have previously written a post on this here.

Assembling 8 of the same units results in a cuboctahedron. I used gift wrapper paper along with black paper. And the contrast looks very good..
