      @@andyjmorley Don't worry :D its not "illegal" as in you'll be arrested or sued or anything for building models in this way. But there are a series of guidelines that creators of official lego kits have to follow in order to get their design approved and published. Theres a few odd rules, but one of the main ones is you can't use bricks being "bent" as part of the design, or having bricks join at an unusual angle.
      This model uses a lot of small bends to get the unique shape. As it breaks the lego "laws", people call builds like this "illegal". I'm not sure if thats the official terminology, but you'll hear it a lot in places where people talk about lego.
      (additionally, I heard a rumour that some official kits from LEGO have building instructions that are technically illegal!)

    2_Questions:
    1__based on the stress level of the bricks, do you feel comfortable saying that this is the minimum possible size for this structure?
    2__by using 5-sided corners, do you believe that an icosahedron could be made with shorter lengths between corners?
    PS:
    I just followed your link to the icosahedron video, & I'd forgotten that detail ... that you inverted the bricks!
    I usually take it for granted that the studs will always face OUTWARD ... what led you to change their orientation?
    PPS:
    Have you considered making it possible to shorten the "arms" by using an additional pair of hinge pieces between each pair of corners? The reduced level of brick stress might justify using fewer layers as well...?
