Does anyone know of a source image of a flattened globe pattern that can then have an immage applied so that the end result is a fold out ready for construction?

Thanx Trimax - followed the yellow brick web and found some neat images for rendering but but but I'm sorry to inform you that none were what I wanted. I want to make the model in real world materials just for fun - like a cut out and paste up job. thanks anyway.
