Abstract
Regular polygons can be used to construct a number of solids. A
large number of examples can be found at [3]. The pictures and
models described in this paper start from the nets of solids that
are constructed from regular polygons. The introduction considers,
generally, a range of solid types that were used to create fractals
in two and three dimensions. The resulting fractals have been used
as a framework for displaying pictures. The body of this paper is
limited to a discussion of the Platonic Solids. Whilst much progress
has been made with other regular solids they will need to be the
subject of a separate paper.
