Thank you, I have downloaded it,  restarted gimp, but the only one I see is this one

Not a brush, I think that is just too complicated. Similar to Ofnuts suggestion but using older scripts.

As mentioned before, shape-paths.scm to make the initial path shape.
A utility PathRotator2.scm to easily duplicate the initial path around a circle.  PathRotator2.zip attached, unzip put in your scripts folder.

A very quick demo as an example:   https://i.imgur.com/deD0Wrl.mp4

Hi rich2005

I did copy the scm file into plug-ins folder, there are 3 of scm files, then I have refresh scrips and restart gimp, but when I go to help/plug-in browser I do no see this 2, I want to see where they are on the menu.

Not in the plugins folder, but in the scripts folder!

Files with .py extensions you place them in the plugins folder.
With the .scm extension, place them in the scripts folder.

.scm files do not require gimp to be restarted! Just Filters - Script-Fu - Refresh Scripts

Thank you

I would have put the py in scripts because py is a script.

Know I know

That's the one... The ZIP that you downloaded contains a sizeable HTML doc with explanations and pictures. Recommended reading (just open the HTML with your browser).
