Blocks please!

I keep seeing threads about blocks and blockmaking and I'm getting more and more interested. So I was hoping everyone who has a Raiders block (do-it-yourselfers and vendors, if you don't mind) could show some pictures of their blocks. I just want to compare the shapes to get a really good idea of the general form. Thanks everybody!

If anyone posts one of Steve's blocks, that'd be the one you want to model it after. I was just making this up as I went along.

Here are some pictures of my block

I'll post the outline of my block WITH dimensions tomorrow on the site, this could be useful for some of you...
I am a draftman, I used a CAD software in order to draw the patern of the block...

Nicolas, when you used your block to make your hat, did you use pushpins like I did? If so, how'd the plaster take it?

Nope, I did not use pushpins...
