CG for use as blueprints for scratchbuilding

[Less than Super Ostrich]

Do any of you have experience using CG rendered downloads in the absence of available blueprints? I'm trying to locate plans for a scratchbuild project, but the only thing I can find is downloadable CG renders.

I used a CG model that I built as a base for my Slave 1. Not sure how accurate downloadable cg models are.

Here's why I'm asking. I was thinking of having a master of the Republic Gunship built. I'm having a hard time locating decent plans. I've found a good CG render here:

If you search for LAAT, you'll find a great CG model. They are in these formats:
MAX 3
3DS
Truespace
LW 6.x

All I'm trying to do is to get some copies on paper so I can start manipulating shapes to come up with a frame. I doubt this is a simple task, but I figured some of you may know.

The best thing to do is use the mesh to create the frames you want. Rhino is great for that.
