Topic: Daruma, anyone?

I've been explaining to my children some of their heritage (on my mom's side, she was Japanese) and I came up with this to help them to work on goals.  The daruma doll (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daruma_doll) is the Japanese personification of a Buddhist saint who is supposed to help you achieve goals.  Since I wan't about to shell out the money to get one, I modeled and fabbed one on the SD!

Actually I fabbed 3, but they're all the same model. Largest is at 100%, then 50, then 25.  Can be printed hollow with the top removed for a nice light holder.

Enjoy!

Edit: You do need to rotate the model 180deg on either X or Y to orient him for printing.  I usually just use RH to re-orient and I don't give it a second thought...
