Good luck!

Because I had a doubt on step 7.
It seems different to me, but I thing that it can be skipped

You are right, step 7 is different. That's what happens if you draw diagrams when you are half asleep... Just skip step 7 and you should be all right.

You know, I asked my question, cos I would like to hear that video is not better than "normal" diagram. I am very conservative in this case.

I just finished the ball, and i folded it including step 7.
In the video step 7 is included in another step. Its not possible to skip that step because it is essential to look the modules together.

thanks for the diagram, anna :-)

No, in fact he is closing the modules otherwise than I thought initially. His locking mechanism is much stronger. I tried to make some diagrams for it as well, maybe I'm posting the picture later on, it is very bad drawn :?

Edit: OK, here it is:

As you can see in step 14, the pocket is on the inner layer and not on the outer one. You insert the flap (see step 13) as well as the loose flap that I initially folded in on step 7 of the old diagrams into this pocket, this gives a rather secure lock.

Well, and ignore the last drawing, just make 12 5-unit stars and join them together.
Like this:

Now I don't have more doubts, I'm ready to make the modules.

Thanks Anna =D>
