Dodekahedron

Playing around i constructed a dodekahedron
like the mysterious ancient examples that have been found
around the former northern roman empire.
no one knows exactly what they were for,
but they provide an excellent braincracker for modelling.
(constructing just the dodecahedre-core is the easy bit)

Nice image, but did you really construct the dodekahedron manually? Sounds like a lot of work for me. Why didn't you use the build in dodekahedron of the "Polyhedra" object.

In fact, that's exactly what i did, that's why this was the easy bit.
For the beginner that i am, it was harder to get the hollow volume in the center, and the round holes punched out in he twelve planes. (without having to position them manually.)
I found no "controllable" way of generating the little corner bullets,
so i made sferes and positioned each one of these.
