Hi Shay

> Very nice.

Thank you.

> How did you form the metal at the joints?

I guess you meant the bucky? No metal was used. I relied on PovGlue
(TM) to stop it falling apart. See attached.

The faces are simple. The various transforms involved had me beat for
a while tho' :-/

   merge{
      prism{ -FaceR, FaceR, 6,
     <Pa.x, Pa.z>, <Pb.x, Pb.z>, <Pc.x, Pc.z>,
     <Pd.x, Pd.z>, <Pe.x, Pe.z>, <Pa.x, Pa.z>
      }
      sphere{ Pa*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      sphere{ Pb*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      sphere{ Pc*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      sphere{ Pd*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      sphere{ Pe*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      cylinder{ Pa*<1,0,1>, Pb*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      cylinder{ Pb*<1,0,1>, Pc*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      cylinder{ Pc*<1,0,1>, Pd*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      cylinder{ Pd*<1,0,1>, Pe*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      cylinder{ Pe*<1,0,1>, Pa*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      //some transforms here
   }
