Rick,
Your shapes are also very nice. You have so many! This is indeed a very fun (and addictive) pastime. It's a fun challenge to try to imagine what is actually possible to fabricate. I've ordered a few stainless steel models, but only about half of them so far have been realizable. Bronze is mighty tempting. Metals in general are very satisfactory.
No, I don't use Mathematica. I have used FreeCad and Maple, although recently I have been using Python to build things in a more elementary manner. (BTW, the coordinates for the vertices of Miller's Monster are on wikipedia, although they are not too hard to determine from scratch.)

rickruss2013 This is great, David, I'm glad Andy Blofield put me in touch with you, and for discovering this model. Are you using Mathematica also? I made a 20 cube compound by creating the same icosahedral symmetry with a dual of the octahedron. (www.shapeways.com/product/N5WBMQ2NU/20-cube-compound) This stuff is such fun, eh? Love your work!
