In My Last Year At School,

our maths teacher had a fascination with these, 

all images via Internet Archive, polyhedra models, he had books and plans of many of them which as dutiful students we made, but there were nowhere near as many as is detailed in the book Vielecke und Vielflache, Theorie und Geschichte, or “Polygons and Polyhedra, Theory and History,” by German scholar Max Brückner (1860-1934), who spent a lifetime making his remarkable collection of polyhedra models, there are just so many of them, 

some of which M.C. Escher incorporated into his 1948 wood engraving, “Stars.” you can see more of Brückner’s incredibly precise models in the Internet Archive, original article found here in Present & Correct, I have to say it was great fun making some of the 'easy' polyhedra models, but many were just so complicated.
