The Roll the Dice IV is a rather simple 4-line design, consisting of two joint hexagons from white Icarex. Black Icarex is used to imitate the eyes and ribs of the dices and black bias-band is used to strengthen the outer perimeter of the kite. The initial frame of the kite consisted of two diagonal spreaders and two spines. This idea is now changed into one horizontal spreader, sticking out on both sides of the kite, and two vertical spines to allow more flexibility. The Roll the Dice V makes use of the same principles developed for the Vluis; instead of using a perfect fitting spreader, it is slightly shortened to obtain flexible spines in the two dices. The lines are directly connected to the upper and lower extremities of the kite.
