3d-ifying my Disco

[defuzz]

so, I've started playing with 3D drawing software and thought it would be fun to recreate my beloved in 3d splendour.  But rather than painstakingly measuring every single bit I hoped someone here might have accurate plans of a disco.  Does such a thing exist?


Also, I'm planning on building a "mobile storage" esque storage unit in the boot so could do with accurate measurements of the boot on a Disco 1.  Obviously its not hard for me to go and measure all the boot dimensions but if someone already had them it would make it much easier.

I'll even make the pics available to all and sundry when (if) completed.

Out of interest what program are you using?

I trained and worked with autocad, inventor and 3ds max and have always thought about doing my 90 but its just too much like hard work to model it accuratly without measuring EVERYTHING!

blimey thats a bit fancy, i was thinking a bit simpler than that.

At the mo I'm using Google's new "Sketchup" programme, its surprisingly good.  I've played with 3d Max in teh past but this new one is sooooo simple to use, and it lets you output to a variety of formats including 3d max readable formats.
