Looks like beeing made from Sonobe units.

The great rhombicosidodecahedron constructed by E. K. Herrstrom in origami is illustrated above (Kasahara and Takahama 1987, pp. 46-49). This construction uses 900 sonobè units, each made from a single sheet of origami paper.

so 900 sonobe units are really much ;p... good luck

Also, better make sure to fold your SONOBE units very accurately. A model that big would collapse on its own weight if the units are not properly secured.
