I've got the effect I was after. All that remains is to try and re-write the code as a
macro.
Thanks to all who offered helpfull sugestions.

Now that's cool!  That top left sphere looks like it's a solid sphere
with different colors, not segmented like the other two. Is it? or is it
just my eyes?  Very cool image.

Yes, it is segmented just like the others. I just put it there to show that by scaling
all
the segments evenly, a standard sphere can be created.

Congratulations Andy!
I saw your first post question and thought it out as you described and
knew it wouldn't work as is (the 18x18 degree surface area for all
pieces), however I was going to try the only workable way I knew how
myself. That would have been this way which I saw someone else suggest
earlier so I didn't even do it. Looks very interesting for sure.
Actually my method would have gone the way of smaller "squares" rather
than the trapezoids, but there would have been a great deal more of the
pieces. Being a bit granular at the poles too.

That's the coolest thing I've ever seen.  Could you post the source or
give me a hint on how it was done?  

Thanks, I missed the earlier thread you referred to.
