Making a rhombicuboctahedron

Introduction -- Making the Modules -- Making the Polyhedra -- Jim's Origami Page

The rhombicuboctahedron has eight triangular faces and 18 square faces. There are 24 vertices at which one triangular and three square faces meet. It has 48 edges. 24 of these edges are square (sq--sq) modules, and the remaining 24 are triangle/square hybrid (tr--sq) modules.

This is another very pretty solid. I have always used 16 modules each of three colors (8 sq--sq and 8 tr--sq), and had each color form two parallel octagons around the middle.
