Thanks for the feedback. One rather large flaw in my approach occurred to me
AFTER I posted everything. (Isn't that always the way?) I've applied the
texture to each individual icosahedron.  It would probably be MUCH better to
pull it out of there and apply it to the whole "union" and thus prevent the
loss of numerous subtleties inherent in any given texture.


Best Regards,
