If you can get a picture of what you are wanting in a pattern (preferbably one as large as you can possibly get). Post it here, and either I or someone else will be more than happy to make a pattern for you.

If you are wanting to make the pattern yourself:
Find you a good program (Gimp & Inkscape are great ones and they are free. Just search for them in google for the download). Once you have those programs you can search on this form for instructions on how to make patterns with those programs as well as you can find instructional videos on Utube by searching for them with those names.

If you don't think you are up to making it yourself, again, just find a picture of what you want usually you can find that by doing searches for them in google (just make sure you get pictures that are copyright free (meaning free to use and post). Another way to get a picture since you have one, just take a picture up close of one of your planes. Once you have the picture post it here and in the Scroll Saw Pattern Requests - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board
and someone will make a pattern for you if not myself. Hope this helps.
