I
have never used metapost but using tikz I found this:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/269108/truncated-icosahedron-in-tikz
Lately
I have been using tikz and I like the final result.

It does not have the pentagons filled with color. This does not make the picture come to life.
There might be some mathematica notebooks out there, but they are not free, and cannot translate to code that we can use such as octave, or maxima. I have found a Geogebra page which does have the filled pentagons
https://www.geogebra.org/material/show/id/AfNmbnDD
But I would prefer it be in metapost. Not all my machines have texlive, not all of them have java as well. I hope that with a bit of time, someone who knows metapost can help translate the code from the hoist point website which is more precise. Or a more solidly colored geogebra one.
Best Regards,
Antonio
