Bicone

I built a few weeks ago a bicone based on a hexagonal dipyramid.
Stickers are handcut and stuck in a BOY scheme. Colors on white/green/orange cone whirl clockwise. Colors on yellow/blue/red cone whirl counterclockwise.

I never seen it before but I may be wrong. Could you please give me a link or a builder name if I'm wrong?

This is a really great build! getting smooth and accurate curved surfaces is very hard. Also, I love the stickers.

The last 2 pictures remind me of a chocolate and vanilla ice cream mix. Now I want ice cream! :lol:

First of all, congratulations Ofapel ¡¡¡¡

I add the pic of Adam Cowan catalogue, but I dont know if is exactly the same puzzle.

Interesting! it seems this one is a bit larger, however.
Has Adam Cowan ever built it?

I decided building mine because of Apollo's dodecagonal dipyramid. I roughly built one as a step to the bicone.

May you post a picture of it, please? Or do you have a link?

They were molded and casted, this is a hand modded one, right? You made a hexagonal dipyramid and sanded it into a bicone?

Another picture to compare with yours, ofapel

Do you plan to sell yours in the near future?
I find I must have both :-)

That bicone isn't built on an axis.

I like them both!

I like that color whirl on your bicone very much - may be I try this next time.
Here is a picture of mine - I called it "diamond bicone"

True. It is hand modded.
I made a hexagonal dipyramid then turned it into a dodecagonal dipyramid and finally sanded it into a bicone.

@Georges: Why not seeing via PM?
