Columbus cubes


Do you remember how Columbus had put an egg on the peak ? So, do the same with a cube
The problem was solved by Steve Biddle. He cut a corner of the cube. You can see every possible combination of truncation of a cube - from the cube (every vertex unharmed) to the cubooctahedron (every vertex truncated).

And the most amazing efect of joining the partialy truncated cubes - the ring of five intersected cubes.

Above models are based on creation of Steve Biddle (Steve and Megumi Biddle, The New Origami, St. Martin's Press, New York, 1993, ISBN 0-312-08037-9).
