"The Alphabet" Twentysix Interlocking Icosakaipentagonal Stars (Byriah Loper)

            "The Alphabet" Twentysix Interlocking Icosakaipentagonal Stars 650 units
Central view.
Absolute dedication- that's what was required in order to refold this for my book.   Taking almost 30 hours, this is both the largest model in my origami book, and is the largest modular origami piece I have ever designed, and now folded twice. 
Some background info, for those who didn't see the first one I made. I made the first model of this in November 2011, as the ultimate model in the wireframe planar expansion set. Daniel Kwan mentioned that since every plane in the planar-type models was given a letter, you could create the full alphabet with 26 planes, which obviously prompted the nickname. The model itself is not extremely challenging, at least by my standards, but is unbelievably time consuming. 
I never imagined I would have to fold this model more than once.
Also, I rechecked the paper proportions, and found that they actually aren't 1:2.5, so please disregard that from the first models' picture.
Designed by me.
Folded out of memo,kami,and watercolor paper.
