Hi,

after several months of not-presenting new creations I thought about new ways for presenting the puzzles of my newest batch. I already used the "one puzzle per day"-method but consider it inappropriate this batch. Then I recognized my orange name in the forum.
Therefore I want to present the newest entry in the museum:

After Zhewei had beaten me with the 8-axis-puzzle-in-dodecahedral-shape I started an emergency-built for the icosahedral cousin.

BTW: I would not mind PM's if somebody wants to present his puzzles the same way in the future...

Great work! The 8-axis-turning puzzle now exists physically in the forms of all the platonic solids!

That's one great looking puzzle!
Great idea with the straight to museum entry - should encourage everyone to do it like this.

Just one question....Where is the scrambled picture? The curator will not be happy!

I love it. Great work as always. I find straight cut downs very satisfying to make.

Great work. Beautiful shape!!

I love the icosahedron! Can you show a diagram of how to cut this?

He is sitting right here and does not mind.
Tony got it right. Truncating-Only-Transformations are very satisfying...
and suitable for an emergency-build.

Regarding the cuts.
See the attached image.
The point were the cut faces and the original edges meet have a distance of 29mm for the tip of the non-truncated octahedron. Cutting down the existing stickers before truncating the body helps a lot.

Very nice puzzle. Possibly my favourite FTO mod. Well done.
