THANKS !!!!

Lawrence do you have Pattern Editor? if so save the file as a mpw, and upload it here. We can take that and create the stl from it.
and check your pm for message.
it was still too big to send Eddie, how do I load an MPC here? It is still too big when zipped for some reason
Lawrence check your pm and send it via email. The mpw as saved from pattern editor will allow editing the file, and saving it to STL format.
A .3ds file of a similar nutcracker can be downloaded here: http://archive3d.net/?a=download&id=15350 If I was at home, I would convert it to .stl slice it and post it here.
But,, again my job is interfering with my fun.

This is the nutcracker (modified) that edzbaker gave a link to. Showing a front and back of the model. I removed the base, and back handle since it would not carve right with the handle.
This is just the model right now.
Notice it does not have an actual face, or mustache as show in the image on the site. The model shown there was a surface painting (render).
Thus it can be painted as shown in the image below, or I can add the extra features, so it will be easier to paint them.
Decided to make the pattern without the details. May add details later if I find an interest.
Edit: This sounds bad, it should say if there is enough interested in the pattern.
I took the image of the nutcracker provided by Lawrence, and from there I created an STL file, and started modeling on it. Here is the front and back of his nutcracker. (front is the same as he uploaded)
Man, thanks Eddie- that's awesome!
