This is an indexed list of the uniform and stellated polyhedra from the book Polyhedron Models, by Magnus Wenninger. The book was written as a guide book to building polyhedra as physical models. It includes templates of face elements for construction and helpful hints in building, and also brief descriptions on the theory behind these shapes.
The Fifty Nine Icosahedra enumerates the stellations of the regular icosahedron, according to a set of rules put forward by J. C. P. Miller, including the complete stellation. The Du Val symbol of the complete stellation is H , because it includes all cells in the stellation diagram up to and including the outermost "h" layer.
The great icosahedron is one of the stellations of the icosahedron. (See The Fifty-Nine Icosahedra) The three others are all the stellations of the dodecahedron. The great stellated dodecahedron is a faceting of the dodecahedron. The three others are facetings of the icosahedron.
There are 58 stellations of the icosahedron, including the great icosahedron (one of the Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra), and the second and final stellations of the icosahedron. The 59th model in The fifty nine icosahedra is the original icosahedron itself. Many "Miller stellations" cannot be obtained directly by using Kepler's method.

The stellation diagram for the regular dodecahedron with the central pentagon highlighted. This diagram represents the dodecahedron face itself. In geometry, a stellation diagram or stellation pattern is a two-dimensional diagram in the plane of some face of a polyhedron, showing lines where other face planes intersect with this one.
