Those kaleidocycles are fun to play with. I made some a few years ago that got worn out quick. It is fascinating to manipulate and watch them change shape.

Thanks John.
And for anyone interested there is a superb book about cycles... Escher, Godel, Bach. By Hofstader. Published by Penguin. Cannot recommend this book enough!
