Hello,
I have done it this way:
-start with an icosahedron to obtain the required symmetry
-extrude the edges (you'll need to split them in thirds first)
   you'll get 30 flat spikes
-cap off their top (split 10>connect>select all but one loop>dissolve 
R>select top vertices>)
-extrude thrice
-remove the supporting icosahedron
-remove the middle block (be inventive about the 'select similar' tool)
   you should get 60 hexagonal blocks
-scale the 30x16 short edges 0% and let optimize
-join the resulting rectangles by bridges (manually)
-SSEE*

*save, subdivide, export, exit

you start thinking up your own "You know you've been raytracing too long 
when..." sigs (I did).
