XYZ Diamonds


This is XYZ Diamonds - another cool intersecting planes piece. Instructions for this can be found at:

Assembly on this is quite tricky, especially because it is very, very important that you get the colors in the right orientations. Also, getting the last few units in place requires a great deal of patience and finesse. One suggestion for anyone out there who wants to try this one - do not make the center slits completely flush, or worse yet, with a slight overlap. A little gap makes assembly much easier. Of course, the tradeoff is that a gap may not be as aesthetically pleasing to some. And to those people I say - "whatever."
