Hello,.. I'm a newbie trying to figure out how to model my car. I haven't been able to find any blueprints. (like the ones in the Mclaren tutorial) ..or anything even close to it.

I have tried taking some pics,.. but the car is black and I can't get any details to show up in the pics,.. not to mention I'm not sure how I'd get a pic of the top of my car.

Any help or advice will be appreciated! Thanks!!

oh,.. in case you're wordering,.. it's a 2003 Mercury Marauder.

two really, really good places to search for blueprints
http://www.onnovanbraam.com/
http://www.suurland.com/

and it seems like onnovanbraam decided to split himself so he has another site with blueprints named:

If you can get your hands on the service manual for your car, you should be able to find good blueprint-like images.

I have the service manual,.. unfortunately it doesn't show the body

It has a bunch of great pics for everything else except the outside,.... figures..

if you really wanted to shoot for the stars ummm...call the mercury designers and whoever else is involved and ask them for blueprints. Like i said it's a small chance but it happens.

Thanks for the idea R4,.. sheesh,.. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I actually met the Marauder Program Manager last year at a rally.

hmm,.. I think I can find his e-mail.

I've started modeling it already based on the McLaren tut, but it doesn't look all that great 'cause I only have my photos to go off of. :p Man,.. that perpective is a bastage! LOL

well,. I'm off to find that guys e-mail.

I'll post some WIP pics once it starts to look like a car!

Thanks...
