"Tapecraft" as soulcraft

A Flickr user named Happy Monkey has developed a new art form, "tapecraft," that puts a contemporary gloss on the ancient Japanese art of origami. The smallish architectural forms are similarly complex: multifaceted spheroid objects covered with pyramids of various colors, for example. But the key ingredients here are scotch tape and permanent markers.
The works are crafty, DIY, and cheap, a popular combination in these straitened times. Happy Monkey's Flickr page includes step-by-step instructions on how to assemble one shape from scratch, as well as video of one bit of tapecraft that's been equipped with blinking lights.
The artist, a wordsmith as well as a tapesmith, has given some of his works serious technical names. Care to guess which of the above forms is the "rhombitruncated cuboctahedron"?
