I am a new member who need some help

My 8 years old boy watched the Nutcracker in Omaha with his school 3rd Grade Class last December 4. He asked me to make him a Nutcracker Soldier. Does anyone have a pattern on how to make it.

Would appreciate your help!

I don't have a pattern, but you can buy a kit that all you have to do is paint - would actually be a good project for BOTH of you.

I'm not trying to talk you out of making your own - just another option.

Anyway, here's an example:

Balitono 771 - Works of Ahhh... Nutcracker Soldier Wood Painting Kit

If you google, Guards Men or Guards Man on images you'll get something.

Good luck with the project.

An alternative come over to Buckingham Palace she's usual a few knocking around there, busby and all.

I have a Holiday 2002 Wood Carving magazine. 6 page article above the materials list is Recommended reading: Ornamental and figure nutcracker, By Judith A. Rittenhouse, collectors books 1993. Maybe you can get it out of a library.
I tryed scaning the pages but no go.
