The TUVWXYZ star is a complex modular planar model, designed by Meenakshi Mukerji.
The model consists of 7 intersecting stars, each star made of 6 arms. All the stars meet at the centre of the model.
A total of 42 modules are required for the star, 7 colours and 6 modules in each colour. Folding the modules is quite simple, though time consuming.
Assembling the star is a good puzzle! I had trouble in understanding when to start adding the 7th colour, since you actually start with 6 colours. I eventually did figure it out 
The 7th star is the first one to get completed. In the picture, this was the orange coloured one.

Very awesome job folding that. I tried folding something similar to that once and I couldn’t get the last shape to fit in properly and it drove me insane.

Thank you
I too had some difficulty assembling the model. This Assembly Guide from Meenakshi Mukerji’s site was of big help. The second page shows the intersection of the units, with the total number of triangular, pentagonal and hexagonal modules.
