This is a Zome model of Gosset's figure in 8 dimensions. A first step to understanding this model is to study the geometry and Zome model of the 600-cell. As it turns out, this model of the Gosset figure is merely the union of two concentric models of the 600-cell. It is a remarkable fact that there are only two "natural" models of the 600-cell which can be built using standard Zome pieces, and that the union of these two objects turns out to represent the Gosset figure.
