This gives you modules that you assemble into the required solid. To see how, you can refer to this video. Although it is in french, it is enough visual to see how it works.
The solid you obtain are not convex polyhedron. They are sometimes referred to as "stellated polyhedron", but this is not exactly a stellation. In fact, the polyhedron is augmented with regular pyramids on all its sides. What makes them fascinating to me is how they embody the duality of the platonic solids...
