Thanks Luma Vine, now I

In reply to How can I replicate this exactly in Illustrator CS5?:

Thanks Luma Vine, now I understand how 5star did it. I tried it and it works great. But after playing around a while I managed to do it with the 3D Extrude and Bevel options, expanding, compounding path, deleting... I forgot how, ha ha. Gonna try and do it again. This time I'll write it down.
Thanks for everything guys.
