"Truncated Icosahedron - edge´s planes contain circum sphere's center" by EDV - 16/02/2011

Description
This solid has its skeleton defined by its edges built with 5 h strips positioned in planes that contain the center of the circum sphere which contain all its vertices.

I used pairs of overlapped 5 h strips as edges in a manner to allow me to color the inner face of the edges of the pentagonal faces with a different color, enhancing its presence among the hexagonal faces.

This turn I used bent fishplates with ~124º replicating bent obtuse angle brackets instead of using the expensive self adjusting hinges, as I did use in similar projects in the past.
