Paper Polyhedron distraction

A few things I've put together lately as a way to relax. Used materials on hand and wanted something that showed similarities and differences. Edges on each model are the same size. As you get more edges, the edges get shorter. No plans, just a protractor, ruler and compass to lay out the parts. Size wise they are a little over 2 inches across. Same circumference for marking the points on each one. I got inspired by a picture I found on pg 60 in the book 'Shapes, space, and Symmetry' by Alan Holden. Excellent book if interested in the subject.
